July 25, 2016 – Sean Kelly is delighted to present Twofold, a new exhibition by London-based artist Peter Liversidge. An opening reception will take place on Saturday, September 10 from 6 to 8pm, the artist will be present. The first ten visitors to the opening reception will receive one of Liversidge's unique postal works, which were mailed directly to the gallery from the artist's studio in London.
Known for his conceptually based practice wherein each work begins as a typewritten proposal, Twofold will present twelve of Liversidge’s proposals and ten realized works. Utilizing a wide range of mediums, including drawing, painting, performance, photography, and sculpture, the works on view in Twofold play with duality, both through their tangible materiality — being composed or consisting of two items, parts, etc., together — and in their psychology — having a double character or nature.
Liversidge says, “No matter how close, in subject or proximity, two separate nearly identical images or objects cannot be seen with the same level of detail and concentration at exactly the same time. It is this conscious act of looking at or between two similar images / objects that is integral to the work.”

Opening Reception: Saturday, September 10, from 6 to 8pm, the artist will be present.
