Fool’s errand / Fool’s gold,  GRIMM and Hales Gallery, New York, NY
September 6 - October 19, 2024

GRIMM and Hales are pleased to present Fool’s errand, and Fool’s gold, parallel solo exhibitions of new work by American artist Anthony Cudahy, on view at both New York galleries from 6 September to 19 October 2024. 

Fool’s errand marks the artist’s third solo show with GRIMM, and follows his 2023 exhibition Double Spar, at the London gallery. Fool’s errand and Fool’s gold also follow on the heels of Cudahy’s first institutional solo exhibition in the United States, Spinneret, on view at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, ME (US) through 21 July 2024 and traveling onwards to the Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas, TX (US) later this year. 

The titles selected for each show correspond to two well-known idioms, with Cudahy interpreting the role of ‘the fool’ as somewhat alike to being an artist. A ‘fool’s errand’ describes the assignment of an impossible task to someone oblivious to the fact that their efforts will be fruitless. This is comparable to the self-assigned task of the painter and nods to the act of painting as an open-ended task with no definitive conclusion. ‘The fool’ can thus be a character who engages outside of normative parameters and approaches life from a different angle, with different aims. Similarly, ‘fool’s gold,’ rather than its understanding to be cheap trickery or mimicry, could be celebrated and exalted.  Like ‘the fool,’ an artist can harness their craft to define meaning in an uninhibited manner.
