Jack O’Flynn: WHEN WE SEE YOU

9—31 MAY 2025

Kiosken was proud to present the exhibition «WHEN WE SEE YOU» by Jack O’Flynn in collaboration with Connie Hurley, Tamara Macarthur, Lisa Rytterlund, Clea Filippea and Ambra Grassi.

When we see you is a collaborative art-making project began by Jack O’Flynn in 2021, encompassing collaboration, art, writing, and workshops inspired from the Major Arcana of the Tarot de Marseille.

Over several years and across different countries Jack has playfully re-created cards found in the Tarot de Marseille using the materiality of artists Connie Hurley, Tamara Macarthur, Lisa Rytterlund, Clea Filippea, and Ambra Grassi in a process of exchange and friendship.

‘Beginning in the lockdown of 2020 as a postal collaboration with Connie Hurley. The project has continued throughout the years, as a way for me to connect with the Tarot, and to learn from other artist’s practices I admire. Collaborations have taken form in ceramic, paper maché, textile, and metal. We pull a card together to work with, and once I have received their material I draw the image, navigating the artist’s boundaries and openings provided in the card. The final result brings the imagery of the Major Arcana to a new context, playfully interpreting the original image. The resulting card is a playful interaction between two artists, seeing each-other, sharing a space in the mysterious world of a Tarot card.’
