LONG PAUSE

ROBERT ANTHONY O’HALLORAN
BUNKER 2
Sep 17 — Oct 08
2017











With emphasis on mood, movement, mass and matter, Robert Anthony O’Halloran creates site-specific works. Employing action, gesture, emotionality and quasi-figuration, O’Halloran’s installations are micro-societies composed of manifold constituent parts. With an interest in psychosomatics, entanglements with intangibles, and the fraughtness of sociality in regard to both people and institutions, their recent works explore humour and base materiality; social, sexual, and ecological health; labour and commodity; and, our collective need for pleasure in light of calamity.

Robert Anthony O’Halloran is an artist based in Toronto, ON (b. 1990). They hold a BAH in Art History/Sociology (Queen’s University) and a BFA in Sculpture/Installation (OCADU).
