"A funny, inventive, irrepressible exhibition about the meaning of care" The Irish Times, May 2025
Thank you @irishtimes.com for the wonderful review of Labour of Love: Economies of care in contemporary art.
Labour of Love is running on now until 6 July 2025.
We are delighted that you enjoyed Labour of Love, Dion Kitson's Ill Communication has taken a few people aback with how life like the sculpture is.
I really enjoyed the “Labour of Love:
Economies of care in contemporary art” exhibition at @glucksman.bsky.social Even if I did think this 3D sculpture was a real person and I said to him / it “jeez, I thought you were part of the exhibition ha ha” when I saw it first 😂 it’s creepily real.
A realistic sculpture of a male engineer, wearing a hi-vis jacket, kneeling in front of a communications box, ostensibly repairing it. The setting is an art museum.
Spotted at the Glucksman museum in Cork. I initially thought it was a real person.
You're not the only one that thought Dion Kitson, Ill Communication, 2024 was a real person!
