Zhenya and Boris are going through a vicious divorce marked by resentment, frustration and recrimination. Already embarking on new lives, each with a new partner, they are impatient to start again, to turn the page- even if it means threatening to abandon their 12-year-old son Alyosha. But then, after witnessing one of their fights, Alyosha disappears.
From the acclaimed director of‘ Leviathan’. Winner: Jury Prize Cannes Film Festival, 2017

Vox Materia comprises a multi-part installation of sculpture and works on paper. Stemming from Maher’ s consideration of a 12th Century mermaid carving at nearby Kilcooley Abbey, this show meditates on voice and silence. The mermaid is a hybrid creature that transgresses boundaries between human and animal, and is often associated with traumatic loss of voice. Maher deploys the mermaid not as a motif, but as an ambiguous and powerful conceptual tool to explore ideas of language, embodiment, agency, and autonomy. The artist begins by adopting and documenting contorted postures; creating strained silhouettes that gesture towards a language of the body in extremis. Vox Materia exploits the tactile, contingent qualities of woodcut and watercolour to articulate amoebic, interelementary forms while a series of hand-held sculptural forms create new material and corporeal vocabularies.
Vox Materia is curated by Pluck Projects. The exhibition opens at 7.30 p. m. on Thursday 29th March. All are welcome
