Sal Cooper and Trudy Clutterbok

'Sometimes you want to lift peoples up. And shake them. And kiss them' celebrates two artists (Sal Cooper and Trudy Clutterbok) who have been friends and colleagues for several decades and presents a continuing dialogue between their respective studio practices.

Both artists independently explore intimate topographies of love, memory and history. These explorations raise questions of how certain objects, notions and connections might exist outside of human understanding and how the gaps between intention and execution and between execution and reception leave marks and traces over time.

The title of the show speaks of an aspiration to share artwork that moves others.
