Truth, Dare, Double-Dare…

Artist Rose Finn-Kelcey is well known in the early 1990s, for recent installations which explored the material and spiritual limits of our environment. At this time, Donald G Rodney has contributed work to several exhibitions dealing with themes of race and sexual politicsFinn-Kelcey curated Ikon exhibition White Noise (1992). Truth, Dare, Double-Dare brings together a major installation by each of the artists and a poignant new collaborative work. Finn-Kelcey’s The Royal Box – a remarkable, bone-chilling room of ice – invites viewers to experience art in an unexpected way. Rodney’s Visceral Cankeruses, explores issues of heredity and slavery, joins the coats of arms of Sir John Hawkins and Queen Elizabeth I, together by a tube of the artist’s blood. From these two diverse approaches, the artists embark on a daring joint venture. Thus, resulting sound installation makes for a raw and compelling exploration of the intense and often painful process of collaboration.
