10 July to 24 September
Loose Ends is a new commission by Willie Doherty exploring how people, events and places associated with the 1916 Easter Rising are remembered and imagined today. The Easter Rising and the subsequent partition of Ireland have had an obvious influence on Willie Doherty’s life and work.
The political charged terrain of Derry City is a central and recurring theme of his work, as is the landscape of neighboring County Donegal. The work builds on Doherty’s interest in the relationship between landscape and memory. The project explores if a residual response to these events continues to be played out and how the voices and actions of one generation resonate in the unconscious of another.
Exhibition will be touring to Kerlin Gallery Dublin and Matt’s Gallery London
