Res Ipsa Loquitur

Solo show with Gibbons & Nicholas

Gibbons & Nicholas presents RES IPSA LOQUITUR, a solo exhibition of new work by Irish artist Elva Mulchrone. The exhibition displays a body of work which emanates from Mulchrone’s ongoing economic research at the London School of Economic and Political Science (LSE) and her more recent exploration into the scientific investigation of antibiotics at the Imperial College London. Conceptually driven, Mulchrone’s practice has hitherto examined the role of economics, mathematics, game theory and abstraction in the re-contextualisation and interpretation of who and where we are. Now, this investigation into the repeat patterns reflected by socio economic perspectives is made unequivocally more profound through her supervenient scientific inquiry. Equally, her ability to operate in a time-lag between argument and interpretation, between objective and subjective, to offer alternative meaning and understanding, is enhanced and more pertinent than ever within the context of our current socio-economic-virologic epoch.
— Pamela Lee

RES IPSA LOQUITUR will be on exhibit from the 31sh October to 26th November. Each of the works, accompanied by detail shots and installation views will be viewable through the online exhibition on the Gibbons & Nicholas website.
