The interrelations between artworks, like the artists who make them and the public who encounter them, yield conspiracies and allyships. Each object can be an agent – a powerful symbol of the various bonds that we nurture or conceal throughout our lives. From an early age, you learn that resilience comes from connection, whether with other living beings, to a particular context, or as part of an exclusive network. Thick as Thieves brings together works forged in intense and often covert forms of connection. Drawn largely from the MacKenzie’s Permanent Collection, this selection of works invites us to consider how themes of fidelity, mutual desire, and fraternity.
