In her third exhibition at Deborah Schamoni, Aileen Murphy presents a series of five large-scale oil paintings. Departing from the motif of the table, the paintings unfold architecturally inflected structures that divide the pictorial space into an above and a below. What is decisive here is the performative engagement with the table as an everyday object that becomes a stage, opening up new spatial, bodily, and painterly possibilities. These tables are not sites of domestic, office, or productive labour. They are sites of play – variable systems of order that enable retreat and transition – within which animals repeatedly appear.

In ihrer dritten Ausstellung bei Deborah Schamoni zeigt Aileen Murphy eine Serie von fünf großformatigen Ölgemälden. Ausgehend vom Motiv des Tisches entfalten die Gemälde architektonisch anmutende Strukturen, die den Bildraum in ein Oben und ein Unten teilen. Entscheidend ist dabei der performative Umgang mit dem Tisch als alltäglichem Objekt, das zur Bühne wird und neue räumliche, körperliche und auch malerische Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Diese Tische sind keine Orte von Haus-, Büro- oder Werkarbeit. Sie sind Orte des Spiels, variable Ordnungssysteme des Rückzugs und des Übergangs, in denen immer wieder Tiere auftauchen.
