Fault Line: Art in the Age of Anxiety
Nunnery Gallery, London
Curated by Sarah Elson
"Julie Fagan’s computer based painting of a house is at once crisp and clean in presentation, but purposely flawed and wholly untenable…
In perhaps the most tangible expressions of this discomfort, homes and houses feature prominently… but, tellingly, they are makeshift, temporary, and sometimes completely uninhabitable… we can identify and then connect to very personal expressions of disquiet…
We must not overlook how much humour plays a role… doing double duty as both a mask over and defence against anxiety, as it does in life."
