Artists’ Building Cooperative Dublin (ABCD) accepting expressions of interest from artists

This entry was posted in News on (updated on )

ABCD is an exciting new cooperative, of artist households, working together towards the development of affordable live-work space in Dublin City Centre.

ABCD is now seeking expressions of interest from professional artists to form a panel, eligible to join ABCD, as membership spaces become available within the cooperative.

ABCD are currently a mixed group of households; some with savings; some who can secure a modest mortgage and some who are eligible for or already on the Dublin City Council Housing List.  Expressions of interest for the ABCD Panel are invited from artists with similar financial means.

Please note that this development will not provide stand-alone studios. It is being developed to provide residents with both housing and studio space in the same building. Artists invited to the panel will not be guaranteed cooperative membership, this will depend on spaces available.

If you are in either of these financial situations, described above and would like to be considered for membership of the cooperative in future please fill out the following form and provide information on your current housing, studio needs and financial circumstances.
N.B. The information you provide will be strictly confidential.

Expression of interest form: ABCD New Members Questionnaire 

Please email completed expression of interest forms and any queries before 12 June 2017 to: abcdcoopdublin@gmail.com

Christopher Banahan at the Kenny Gallery, Galway

21 April to 19 May 2017
The Kenny Gallery, Liosbán Retail Park, Tuam Road, Galway

‘Galway 4040 / Remains of Us’ by Christopher Banahan Road is an imaginary retrospective view of Galway by archaeologists in 4040 , who re-discover fragmented portrait remnants of iconic Galway people from today.
Their identity is lost and the future archivists have to name the people in the portraits and imagine what life’s they lead. Therefore the exhibition focuses on identity and how we judge people on first appearance rather than really knowing them, as unknown citizens are mingled with the famous.

The Waiting Room | Ella Bertilsson+Ulla Juske, ArtBox, Dublin 1

This entry was posted in Leinster - Dublin on (updated on )

28 April to 20 May 2017
Opening Thursday 27 April, 6pm

Artists: Ella Bertilsson and Ulla Juske.
The Waiting Room is a narrative driven audio-installation that challenges our perception of time. Waiting rooms are liminal, transitional places. A place where you wait to go somewhere else, impersonal and quickly forgotten. Waiting rooms are often functional spaces where the visitor has little control on how much time the wait will last. Here Ella Bertilsson and Ulla Juske’s waiting room at ArtBox creates a zone of attention; emphasising and acknowledging the subjective experience of time passing. Throughout the gallery space an audio-narrative based on interviews with astrophysicists and astronomers can be heard speculating on what time is and how to define it.
