Irrelevant is one installment of three concurrent solo exhibitions by the visual artist Joe McDonough. Spread over his home state of North Carolina the linked exhibitions run simultaneously in the towns of Carrboro, Cary, and Greensboro, NC during July 2025. Individual artworks are untitled as they are open to interpretation. The name of the three-part solo exhibition is a tongue-in-cheek statement/question concerning the relevance of visual art, painting, self-expressive creativity, and non-representational abstraction during a pivotal period of intense political division, stark inequality, and escalating climate change.
