CMYK/Greyscale project
Rather than explore thematic similarities or differences between the works of artists in this diverse region, the twin exhibitions Greyscale and CMYK divide works into two categories, across national and sectarian borders, according to the lowest common denominator, depending on whether they are made in black and white or colour. In most cases, the mono- or polychromatic nature of the works is deliberate and integral to the piece.

Taking their titles from graphic design, these exhibitions allow works to be included from multifarious media including drawing, painting, photography, film and video. It is intended that works will continue to be added to the exhibitions in close co-operation with host venues.

J. Tobias Anderson

Salla Tykkä - THRILLER

Following a NIFCA residency at Delfina Studios in London and a memorable appearance at the Venice Biennale with her film Lasso, NIFCA has commissioned a new work from Finnish artist Salla Tykkä.

The 35mm film, Thriller, is part of the same trilogy as Lasso, which collectively explores the development of a girl from childhood to adulthood. Whereas Lasso commented on Westerns, Thriller makes a reference to the horror genre through its cinematography and musical score. As we have come to expect from Tykkä's work with Lasso, this film includes many overlapping layers, from a subtle exploration of personal fear, uncertainty and guilt to more explicit expressions of anger and violence.
