The Anatomy of Objects
A Courtyard Gallery exhibition by David McAleavey and Adam O'Meara as the Lincolnshire Contemporary Photographic Archive
How do objects mean? How does the meaning of an object, and the uses it affords, change over time? Why does the same object mean one thing to you, another to me, and something again to both of us when we consider it out of its usual context, or mediated through a photograph?
The Anatomy of Objects is a display of new work created by Adam O’Meara and David McAleavey in conversation with the staff and service users of the city’s household waste recycling centre at Great Northern Terrace. This project is the latest in an ongoing series of works that McAleavey and O’Meara, as the Lincolnshire Contemporary Photographic Archive, have created in collaboration with Lincolnshire County Council and community groups across the county.
As an integral part of The Anatomy of Objects, David and Adam invite visitors to the display to ‘recycle’ something - anything - in the bin provided in the show. During the contemporary still life workshop they will photograph these objects, and add them to the project’s archive.
