This highlight exhibition of AV Festival 10 brings together two extraordinary artists, Cuban-born American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Irish artist William McKeown. Both artists’ work answers the theme of energy in different ways, through personal pursuits of beauty, happiness and freedom. Gonzalez-Torres (1957–96) is one of the most respected artists of his generation whose work has been widely exhibited internationally. McKeown (b 1962) is one of Ireland’s most highly regarded artists best know for his luminous, near-abstract paintings.
Co-curated by AV Festival 10 and mima (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art).
