Tenneson, C., 2019.

Half of two days of everything

HALF OF TWO DAYS OF EVERYTHING is a solo show of Chester Tenneson's work, Curated by Zoe Watson.

The exhibition presents a body of sculptural works made up of disparate everyday objects, unconventionally paired together and re-examined in a new context. The scripting and staging of modernist playwrights and directors Luis Bunuel, Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter form a reference point for Chester's approach to making work. The urge to personify and seek meaning in these objects highlights an absurdist and subversively comedic side to the work, but can also construct an unexpectedly poignant narrative. Often small in scale, the work is intimately connected to the human body, and how the viewer engages with it.
