About the event
Featuring never-before-seen works, the exhibition continues Duenas’ ongoing dialogue with the late artist David Ireland, nearly five years after his celebrated project Light Repair. In this new body of work, Duenas expands his poetic relationship to illumination—treating lamps not merely as functional objects, but as sculptural vessels in active dialogue with the architecture and icons of the David Ireland House. Working with humble and often discarded materials, Duenas transforms the familiar into something quietly radiant. Through these objects, Duenas frames light as a tactile, living material that softly shapes our interactions with the environment around us.
Duena’s exhibition can be viewed January 20 till February 3 in the Accordion Shop at 500 Capp Street, Fridays and Saturdays from 12-5 pm.
