'Inside Your Soul'
Paul Maguire
24th April - 7th May
Resident artist Paul Maguire invited people to Exchange Gallery to participate in a confidential one-on-one cognitive therapy and screen-writing session with the artist.
The artist was researching spaces of intimacy and personal disclosure. The sessions involved experimentation with confessional and interrogation architecture to investigate the relationship of visibility and interaction between the artist and the participant. Participants were invited to confess secrets and to answer questions about their memories and daily thought patterns. The techniques of cognitive psychology and processes of screen-writing were utilized to attempt to locate aesthetic moments and images within memory and thought structure.
