Thomas Mulcaire at Goodman Gallery Cape‘He is, it seems, a great believer in the meaning of meaning…The elaborate biology of sexual differentiation in the fetus [sic], the religious system of the Mormons, the infinitely convoluted esotericism of freemasonry and of the ancient Irish myths - it’s all so blatantly meaningful’ (Birnbaum, 2005: 65) [original emphasis]
Upon viewing Thomas Mulcaire’s exhibition, this quotation from Daniel Birnbaum’s 2005 essay Chronology came vehemently to mind. Whilst Birnbaum was referring to the work of Matthew Barney (specifically his Cremaster Cycle), the sentiment of ‘production of meaning as meaning’ nonetheless presents itself when considering Mulcaire’s work. In fact, this is exactly what he proffers, an assortment of signifiers titled and assembled with the express purpose of being ‘blatantly meaningful’.
