The Temporality of Being - Closing Night
Join us for a special closing event for The Temporality of Being, hosted at PIER+GALLERY, an evening of reflection, conversation, and celestial alignment.
The event begins at 7:00 PM, with time to explore the exhibition one last time before the panel discussion at 7:30 PM. Photographer and director Andy Hatton will be joined by Paddy Dorney for a conversation about the making of The Temporality of Being, the significance of the Dorney House in his creative process, and the personal and architectural histories embedded within the site. Together, they will discuss the past, present, and future of this iconic home, Paddy’s experience growing up in his father J.H. Esmond Dorney’s design, and the evolving dialogue between art, architecture, and place.
Following the discussion, at 8:49 PM, we will gather on the pier’s deck for a chance to witness the full moonrise, a fitting and poetic conclusion to an exhibition deeply tied to cycles of light, reflection, and transience.
