Looking Out
2016
Courtney Coombs has spent the year as Metro Arts’ 2016 Artist in Residence unlearning. Adopting Irigaray’s ‘The Ethical Gesture towards the Other’ as gospel, they have been looking out, looking in and conversing wherever possible to better understand their position in this world and the connections/disconnections that occur as a result. Looking Out presents a small selection of the outcomes of this lifelong pursuit.
