Jaden Gallagher: Happy End Problem
You don’t have to understand complex mathematics to enjoy this artistic equation.
Overview
The ‘Happy End Problem’, so-called because it led to the marriage of two mathematicians, is a geometric theorem involving convex quadrilaterals. Thankfully, you don’t have to understand complex mathematics to enjoy Jaden Gallagher’s exhibition of the same name.
The first solo exhibition for the Brisbane artist, Happy End Problem is also about geometry, in a sense: it is about the arrangement of public images and narratives and their relationships to subjectivity. Gallagher explores this weighty concept through a mixture of media: video, performance, sound and sculpture, with the contemporary techniques themselves forming part of the exhibition’s themes.
Happy End Problem is a one-night only affair, taking over the Cut Thumb ARI (Artist-Run Initiative) from 6pm to 9pm on 7 August.
