<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Curator
and Visual Artist, Diana Ali in collaboration with The Malt Cross Gallery is
pleased to present the exhibition ‘double lives: duple trials’; an exhibition
of contemporary art work investigating the functions of duality. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A ‘double life’ conventionally is a life of two
identities where one is simultaneously involved in two sets of circumstances
and retains the secrecy of one from the other. The exhibition hopes to explore
these two sets exposing the dichotomies of fiction and reality, mirror images
and opposing forces. ‘Double Lives;Duple Trials’ cater for a parallel existence
whether it portrays deceiving acts or insatiable actions and can as subtle as a
pen name or as exaggerated as the secret identity of a super hero; ultimately
why are they adopted? The invited artists take this concept and explore notions
such as alter egos, multiple personalities, parallel universes and secret
relationships where double lives exist, either privately or publicly. The
variety of art work exhibited includes drawing, installation, film, video,
photography, projections and interventions featuring over twenty national and
international artists. </span></p>
