"The Tales Are True", a solo show by Marie Connole

Eight BAR and Restaurant, Dock Rd, Galway. Dec 13th- Jan 8th 2012

"The Tales are True" manipulates the familiar symbols and muted tones of folktales, old encyclopaedias and children’s science books in order to challenge these transgressions. It poses questions about the desire for revelation in narrative storytelling.

Connole's process of gathering, sifting, cutting and connecting, reveals a continuous evolution of knowledge; the tales which influence her practise take on a new significance, as commonplace archetypes are de-constructed.
