Western Front presents Cirrus, a solo exhibition by Irish Canadian artist-filmmaker Holly Márie Parnell, from May 3 to July 26.
Rooted in a documentary approach and shaped by personal encounters, Parnell’s work explores ideas around connection and estrangement in the present moment. The exhibition features the debut of a new two-channel video work Cirrus, accompanied by a live video performance at an opening reception on May 3 from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Named after the slender sensory appendage found on various animals—used to grasp, feed, anchor, or navigate without sight—Cirrus traverses an interior landscape shaped by the perspectives of artists Min Kim and Mia Wennerstrand. Set between two European capitals hollowed out by late capitalism, Cirrus immerses viewers in the affective atmosphere of today. It asks what it means to be an artist in a time of economic disparity, cultural malaise, and political impotence.
Cirrus is 33 minutes long and played on a continuous loop. Visitors can enter and exit the gallery at any time. For more details, see Western Front.
