No Hard Feelings is an exhibition about the unresolved art practices of working artists, highlighting the value of the artwork made while negotiating labour, finances, relationships, health and burnout. It serves as an ode to the endurance and persistence of working artists who pilfer from their situations in capitalist institutions to continue making art.
For each artist, printmaking, photography and ceramics serve as dualistic mediums. On one hand they are our primary participation in capitalism, on the other our means of resistance and critique of capitalism through art practice.
Drawing from their archives made at work and in-between shifts, these works create a cosmology of unresolved ideas that have come to fruition.
Artists include Maddy Barker, Christopher Doyle, Michael McCafferty and Sarah Murphy.
Opening night: Friday 26 April, 6pm–8pm.
