A is For Apple

Tomorrow is the last day to see A IS FOR APPLE, a collaborative exhibition made with Roula Partheniou, about pedagogy, pareidolia and pattern recognition. The show features numerous editioned work, which I’ll post over the coming days & weeks. Press release below. 

A IS FOR APPLE

Dave Dyment & Roula Partheniou

September 13 – October 11, 2025

“We see shapes in context, and our reactions to them depend in large part on that context. If this were an illustration for a story about the ocean, we could variously read the red triangle as the sail of a sailboat, a shark’s fin, a volcanic island rising from the sea, a “red nun” buoy, or the bow of a sinking ship. We feel very differently about the triangle if we see it as a sailboat than we do if we see it as a shark’s fin.”

– Molly Bang, Picture This

A IS FOR APPLE, the first collaborative exhibition by gallery artists Dave Dyment and Roula Partheniou, explores play, perception, pattern recognition, and cognitive geometry, from early childhood development back to early civilization.

Loosely modelled after a Montessori classroom, the exhibition features works that take the form of games, puzzles, books, building blocks, flashcards, and other teaching aids. Elemental units such as numbers, letters, and basic shapes are mobilized as conceptual tools to parse how patterns both structure our thinking and emerge from it.
