The installation features eight screen-printed felt bl ankets\, each depicting images from her family photo album. This social an d performative artwork invites interaction: visitors are encouraged to tou ch the blankets or drape them over their shoulders.\n\nJuxtaposed with the artwork are historical objects from the Documentation Centre's collection \, including a tablecloth from East Prussia\, a bedspread from Bohemia\, a nd a small table cover from Brandenburg.\n\nTextiles such as blankets\, ta blecloths\, handkerchiefs\, traditional costumes\, coats\, cloaks\, scarve s\, and throws are poignant witnesses to hardship and suffering. They serv e as relics of loss and deprivation\, embodying the deeply human desire to connect with warmth\, familiarity\, and family. These objects offer a sen se of solace against the painful experiences of displacement\, loneliness\ , and uprootedness.\n\nVarvara Keidan Shavrova’s work speaks to these sh ared experiences of millions of refugees\, displaced persons\, and emigran ts\, resonating with their enduring stories.\n\nExhibition Dates: February 2- November 16\, 2025 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/Textile-Memories_small-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,International LOCATION:Documentation Centre for Displacement Expulsion Reconciliation\, S tresemannstraße 90\, Berlin\, 10963 \, Germany GEO:52.504905;13.382295 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Stresemannstraße 90\, Berl in\, 10963 \, Germany;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Documentation Centre for Displacement Expulsion Reconciliation:geo:52.504905,13.382295 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:214@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250208 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20280207 DTSTAMP:20251003T090859Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/imma-collection-art-as-agency-group-ex hibition-at-imma SUMMARY:IMMA Collection: Art as Agency | Group Exhibition at IMMA DESCRIPTION:IMMA Collection: Art as Agency is a major three-year display c elebrating IMMA’s Permanent Collection as a source of agency and knowled ge. Featuring over 100 artists\, from the 1960s to the present\, it highli ghts key works\, including many recent acquisitions. This ambitious exhib ition invites engagement and research over time\, allowing for a rich dura tional experience of Ireland’s Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.\n \nThrough thematic\, chronological\, geographical\, and media-based approa ches\, the exhibition examines how artworks connect across time and contex ts\, fostering new interpretations and relevance. Works from the 1960s to the 1980s evoke the foundational story of the Irish art world. While ackno wledging the context of the modernist\, predominantly male dominance of th at era\, the exhibition also spotlights the material innovation and social ly engaged practices of others who persisted despite the relatively conser vative status quo.\n\nThe exhibition also presents more recent practice th at explores urgent global themes such as gender\, hybridity\, cultural his tories\, de-colonialism\, diaspora\, migration\, food injustice\, climate\ , and ecological change. Memory\, imagination\, and storytelling play pivo tal roles in these works\, offering generative ways to process fragmentati on\, dislocation\, and survival in unfamiliar spaces. New and existing wor ks in the IMMA grounds will extend these themes.\n\nThe exhibition include s a specially created ‘white cube’ gallery space inspired by Brian O ’Doherty’s renowned series of essays Inside the White Cube – The Id eology of the Gallery Space (1976)\, that critiques the auratic\, market- driven effects of the white cube gallery format. Likewise the choice of w orks curated for this space pushes back by highlighting works by Post-War American women\, pioneering conceptualist artworks by Marcel Duchamp and B rian O’Doherty as well as a contemporary feminist response by Andrea Gey er.\n\nBy interweaving historical and contemporary narratives\, Art as Ag ency invites audiences to reflect on the evolving meanings and possibilit ies of art in shaping our understanding of and action in the world.

This stunning collection of textile works celebrates African American culture and heritage.\n28 Feb 2025–27 Oct 2025\nGallery 3\nIMMA presents Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee’s Bend\, the first exhibition of the Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers in Ireland\, co-organised with Souls Grown Deep. The Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers\, a group of African American women from a small Alabama community with a 200-year tradition of quilt making\, have created quilts that hold both artistic and political significance. Artistically\, their w ork is renowned for its improvisational style\, bold colours\, and abstrac t designs\, often compared to modernist art movements like abstract expres sionism. Their quilts\, made from recycled fabrics\, are deeply rooted in African American textile traditions and showcase unique creativity in geom etric patterns.\nPolitically\, the quilts reflect resilience and self-suff iciency\, as they were born out of necessity in an economically deprived\, racially segregated region. The civil rights movement brought attention t o these women\, who became symbols of Black empowerment and cultural pride . Their craft has been exhibited in museums worldwide\, highlighting the i mportance of marginalised voices in American history. The quilts serve as both a celebration of African American heritage and a testament to the str ength and creativity of women in the face of systemic oppression.\nThrough the public programme IMMA will explore parallels with the textile and qui lt-making traditions in Ireland.\nIMMA TALKS / Lecture & Launch\nThe Quilt s of Gee's Bend\nRaina Lampkins-Fielder\nJoin Raina Lampkins-Fielder\, chi ef curator for the Souls Grown Deep Foundation for a talk on the unique qu ilt making tradition of Gee’s Bend\, a community of over five generation s of Black American quiltmakers located on the banks of the Alabama River.

Once widespread throughout Europe\, these private mu seums were renowned for featuring a broad range of objects\, including Art eficialia (products of man) and Naturalia (products of nature) together wi th scientific instruments\, clocks and automaton.\n\nPriceless works of ar t were shown alongside strange curiosities\, antiquities next to the lates t inventions. They were united in their diversity\, and their beauty. Kuns tkammer at Lismore Castle is both a re-creation and a reinvention of the g enre. Through a series of rooms\, each one different in size and form\, hi storical objects from private and public collections will share space with works by leading Irish and international contemporary artists.\n\nThe exh ibition creates new encounters with the familiar and uncanny\, inviting ti mely conversations about display\, collections\, and contemporary practice as the artefact of the future. Drawing on themes of display the work invi tes audiences to engage with contemporary art in an accessible way\, refer ring to one of the original ambitions of the Cabinet of Curiosity to foste r learning through encounter.\n\nRobert O’Byrne is one of Ireland’s be st known writers and lecturers specializing in the fine and decorative art s. A former Vice-President of the Irish Georgian Society\, he is the autho r of more than a dozen books\, a former columnist for Apollo magazine\, an d a contributor to both The Burlington Magazine and the Irish Arts Review.

Th rough ancient tales of the mythic underworld\, and recurring images of sta lactites and stalagmites\, we experience scenes set in caves and tunnels p opulated by ethnic stereotypes.\n\n‘Ní Bhriain seeks to locate our grow ing anxieties of crises within an odd\, orphic world\, where colonial and industrial legacies are fused with the consciousness of our current moment ’ – Michael Dempsey.\n\nA new series of works created for Hugh Lane Ga llery\, The Dream Pool Intervals is a meditation on the spectre of loss that haunts the contemporary imagination. Images of rehearsed poses and ge stures\, appropriated from the early days of photography (an era designed to project stability\, status\, worldliness and superiority) are assembled by Ní Bhriain in the works we encounter. They belie the individuals repr esented and concentrate instead on the construct of the medium of photogra phy itself.\n\n‘in the tapestries are images of destroyed architecture – gathered from multiple sources\, icons of war and climate disaster tha t seem to define this period’ – Ailbhe Ní Bhriain.\n\nFive large-scal e jacquard tapestries form the exhibition’s centre and create a journey through emblematic iconography of past colonial repression and early techn ological aspirations. Powerful and eloquent\, they convey complex politica l and dynastic messages that resist singular interpretation and echo the f ragmented nature of how information is gathered and absorbed in our subcon scious.\n\nThe Dream Pool Intervals is curated by Michael Dempsey\, Head of Exhibitions\, Hugh Lane Gallery\, and will be accompanied by an illustr ated catalogue.\n\nAilbhe Ní Bhriain: The Dream Pool Intervals officiall y opens to the public on 27 March 2025 and runs until 28 September 2025.

The show touches on the legacy of h is unique artistic family\, as well as the indelible influence of his earl y life in Sligo on his entire career. A selection of his politically charg ed paintings of the 1920s are on view alongside a number of the great mast erpieces of his later years\, which are noted for their wildly romantic an d expressionistic style. While Jack was notably reluctant to discuss his c reative practice\, the exhibition is augmented with a number of statements by the artist himself that shed light on aspects of his attitudes and app roaches to painting.\n\nThe Yeats Family was one of the most creative and accomplished in the literary and cultural world of early twentieth century Ireland. Patriarch\, John Butler Yeats was distinguished as an artist\, a nd particularly noted for his work in portraiture. Jack’s three siblings William\, Susan\, Elizabeth made significant contributions to literature\ , publishing and education throughout their lifetimes. Their mother\, Susa n Pollexfen\, was the daughter of a wealthy Sligo merchant family\, and im bued in her children a deep love for the people\, landscape\, and mytholog y of the county.\n\nJack Butler Yeats remains one of Ireland’s best love d and most accomplished artists. Unlike his siblings\, Jack was sent to hi s maternal grandparents in Sligo\, where he lived between the ages of eigh t and 16 years. He cut his creative teeth on the deep experience of Irish life he encountered in the town\, and its western characters and dramatic landscape populated his works until the end of his life. While his subject matter remained the same throughout his long career\, his style of painti ng\, and the meaning he gave his works changed over time. His initial depi ctions of western life was marked by a strong sentimentality\, which he ex pressed in watercolours during the period 1898–1910. This gave way\, in his early oil period (1910–1925)\, to the pronounced realism that he dev eloped to make political and social commentary.\n\nJack had been on a visi t back to Sligo in 1898\, when he witnessed some of the centenary re-enact ments of the 1798 Rebellion. The spectacle of the event appealed to Jack ’s love of the drama of everyday life\, and he was inspired to create on e of his first political scenes\, Robert Emmet – Procession at Carrickna gat\, Co. Sligo\, 1898. The more serious concern of Ireland’s nationhood that the centenary celebrations brought to the fore\, also impacted the y oung artist. From 1898 onwards he became more convinced of the right to Ir ish self-determination. He went on to paint several\, more overtly politic al works\, some of which are also on view in this exhibition\, culminating in the masterworks The Funeral of Harry Boland\, 1922\, and Communicating with Prisoners\, c. 1924.\n\nFrom the 1920s and into the later part of hi s career\, another more marked development took hold. Jack’s subject mat ter became imbued with a deeper mysticism and symbolism. His handling of p aint became much freer\, he abandoned his palette and brush\, and worked d irectly onto the canvas using only the primary colours. Throughout the 194 0s\, his paintings increasingly present us with apocalyptic visions. He de veloped a highly personal technique\, which placed less emphasis on compos ition. He focused more on creating work in a ‘stream-of-consciousness’ style and termed the paintings he made in this way as ‘happenings’.\n \nThe exhibition continues until 1st November. In depth Curator’s Tours will run on each Saturday at 11am throughout June\, July and August\, and can be booked at the front desk or at www.themodel.ie.\n\nWe keep all of o ur exhibitions free of charge and open to everyone. We kindly ask that tho se who can afford to\, make a donation of €5 for this exhibition. This c an be done by contactless payment at the station in this gallery.

The exhibition features over 40 Irish and Ireland-based artists whose di verse practices explore urgent themes of our time.\n\nPushing against soci al norms\, Staying with the Trouble challenges us and attempts to make sen se of the present\, questioning interspecies relationships\, ideas of tran sformation\, and renewal. The exhibition challenges human-centric narrativ es\, advocating for a multi-species/multi-kin perspective through sculptur e\, film\, painting\, installation and performance.\n\nThe exhibition foll ows Haraway’s propositions such as “Making Kin”\, “Composting” a nd “Sowing Worlds”\, inviting visitors to rethink their connections wi th humans\, animals\, and ecosystems. Other propositions include “Critte rs”\, emphasising the agency of non-human life\, while “Techno-Apocaly pse” critiques dystopian views on technology\, proposing a more nuanced\ , interconnected future.\nCommenting on the exhibition Mary Cremin\, Head of Programming\, IMMA\, said\; “Staying with the Trouble is a call to re think\, reshape our views — to stay present in complexity\, to unlearn h uman-centric ways of seeing\, and to lean into the radical potential of ki nship across species\, materials\, and worlds. This exhibition is both a p rovocation and an invitation — to reimagine our place in a shared\, enta ngled future.”\nThere will be a screening programme of film and moving i mage works as part of Living Canvas at IMMA\, running throughout May to Se ptember.\n\nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a live performance serie s on Saturday 26 July 2025.\n\nArtists featured in the exhibition include Farouk858\, Kian Benson Bailes\, George Bolster\, Renèe Helèna Browne\, Myrid Carten\, Elizabeth Cope\, Redd Ekks\, Laura Ní Fhlaibhín\, Andy Fi tz\, Laura Fitzgerald\, Marie Foley\, Paddy Graham\, Aoibheann Greenan\, K erry Guinan\, Austin Hearne\, Atsushi Kaga\, Michael Kane\, Sam Keogh\, Ca oimhe Kilfeather\, Diaa Langan\, Áine Mac Giolla Bhríde\, Marielle MacLe man\, Alan Magee\, Christopher Mahon\, Michelle Malone\, Colin Martin\, Ma ria McKinney\, Bea McMahon\, Thaís Muniz\, Bridget O'Gorman\, Venus Patel \, Samir Mahmood\, Alice Rekab\, Eoghan Ryan\, Jacqui Shelton\, Sonia Shie l\, Katie Watchorn\, Luke van Gelderen\, amongst others.\n\nImage credit: Venus Patel\, ‘Still from Daisy: Prophet of the Apocalypse’ (2023).

This initiative unravels he terogeneous climate and social topics\, by understanding ecology as a comp lex web of relationships—between humans\, the more-than-human world\, an d political and natural environments.\n\nEntangled Life aims to provide sp ace to facilitate a network of relationships\, collaboration and engagemen t within the community. Over the course of 8 months the project will bring together community participants\, artists and experts – including Lisa Fitzsimons (Strategy and Sustainability Lead at Irish Museum of Modern Art )\, Eileen Hutton PhD (Head of Art and Ecology at Burren College of Art)\, and Gareth Kennedy (artist\, lecturer and lead coordinator on NCAD FIELD) – for a series of monthly panel talks\, workshops and artistic interven tions at Pallas Projects\, culminating in an exhibition in December 2025.\ n\nThe project draws inspiration from Merlin Sheldrake’s book of the sam e name\, which explores the interconnected mycelium worlds that allow for unexpected possibilities\, and Joanna Macy's principles of ‘Active Hope ’\, which emphasize knowledge\, compassion and action. With the final go al of promoting a decarbonised future\, the project explores the links bet ween climate issues and society\, and shows how they are relevant in our d aily life and our community.\n\nThe events series will provide diverse per spectives and room for direct interaction among participants through a non -linear\, non-hierarchical approach\, fostering exploration and critical t hinking\, considering mental wellbeing. This multidisciplinary initiative feeds the need to provide opportunities for influencing and activating cha nge effectively. It allows the community to learn about climate issues\, r eact\, and co-create diverse\, dynamic and unpredictable connections and i nspirations. Feedback and reactions collected throughout the programme wil l be compiled into a toolkit report.\n\nIn all\, seven topics will be unra velled and discussed through open panel discussions\, workshops beginning with The Art of Just Transition on Wednesday 14th of May\, with Rachel Fal lon\, Artist\; Dr Egle Gusciute\, Assistant Professor in Sociology\, UCD\; and Michelle Murphy\, Research &\; Policy Analyst with Social Justice Ireland and member of Just Transition Commission.\n\nEvents Schedule\n\n14 th May The Art of Just Transition (Talk)\n\n11th June Discovering biomater ials in art and society (Talk)\n\n9th July Art and biomaterials (Workshop) \n\n3rd September Beyond Words: communicating sustainability (Talk)\n\n1st October Intersectionality in art and climate (Talk)\n\n29th October Clima te and Art: programming &\; advocacy (Talk)\n\n27th November Entangled Life (Exhibition opening)\n\n3rd December Climate crisis and mental health (Workshops)\n\n17th December Climate activism and socially engaged art (T alk)\n\nEvents take place Wednesdays\, 6–8pm.

Emerging in the mid-1960s\, his canonica l ‘Drape’ paintings merged painting\, sculpture\, and performance in c onversation with architecture in entirely new ways. Suspending unstretched lengths of painted canvas from the walls or ceilings of exhibition spaces \, Gilliam transformed his medium and the contexts in which it was viewed. \n\nSewing Fields highlights Gilliam’s connection to Ireland\, where a t ransformative residency at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in the 1990s res haped his artistic practice. Gilliam embraced new materials\, working with pre-stained fabrics that he had shipped to Ireland\, cutting and layering them into sculptural compositions. A collaboration with a local dressmake r further expanded this process\, reinforcing his innovative fusion of pai nting and textile techniques.\n\nThe dramatic\, undulating forms in his wo rk resonate with the vastness and wildness of the Irish coast\, featuring loose\, flowing compositions that reflect the organic and unpredictable na ture of the land and sea. Gilliam’s signature vibrant colour fields were influenced by the unique Irish light\, resulting in atmospheric\, almost translucent hues. By moving away from the rigid geometry of modernism\, Gi lliam’s work in Ireland fostered an intuitive dialogue with the surround ing environment\, celebrating the physicality of painting and the emotiona l resonance of place through abstraction and materiality.\n\nThis exhibiti on continues IMMA’s engagement with artists whose work has received rene wed attention and accolades in recent years that has included Howardena Pi ndell (2023)\, Derek Jarman (2019)\, and Frank Bowling (2018).

These intertwined s ubjects are approached through an associative use of narrative and a deepl y crafted visual language that verges on the surreal.\n\nFor Lismore\, Ní Bhriain presents Inscriptions VI\, an exhibition bringing together new wo rks in tapestry\, print and installation. A large scale tapestry\, The Mus es V\, forms the centrepiece of the exhibition. The Muses series (2018-25) is a pivotal body of work for the artist – the first created in her now -signature medium of Jacquard tapestry. The series references archival pho tographic portraits from the 1850s\, from a genre once termed ‘orientali st photography’. Supposedly an authentic representation of culture\, in reality these images existed as projections of western fantasies of the ex otic and the erotic. Ní Bhriain works with collage to draw out the darkne ss behind the fantasy\, fusing the portraits with imagery of excavated lan dscapes and damaged cityscapes. In bringing these disparate images togethe r\, the artist suggests intertwined histories of loss and cultural destruc tion\, pointing to the ongoing fused legacies of colonial and industrial f orces. In this exhibition\, Ní Bhriain presents The Muses V in dialogue w ith sculptural and photographic elements\, extending its motifs into a ser ies of new material and pictorial relationships within the space of St. Ca rthage Hall.\n\nThe exhibition’s title derives from the earliest known m useological writing in the western world – Samuel Quiccheberg’s ‘Ins criptions or Titles of the Immense Theatre’ (1565)\, which details the p ractice of museums and the organisation of the world’s objects into clas ses and subclasses. This was essentially an instruction manual for the cre ation of private collections\, with an explicit Western imperialist agenda . Ní Bhriain’s work since 2017 has made reference to this text\, as she constructs an enigmatic visual vocabulary to explore the displacement emb edded in familiar systems of representation.\n\nAilbhe Ní Bhriain’s wor k has been shown widely internationally\, at venues including Broad Museum \, Michigan\; Whitechapel Gallery\, London\; Hammer Museum\, LA\; Istanbul Modern\, Turkey\; Reina Sofia Museum\, Madrid\; Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon\, France and the 16th Lyon Biennale. Current exhibitions include The Dream Pool Intervals\, The Hugh Lane Gallery\, Dublin (Solo\, 27 March – 28 September 2025)\; and Programmed Universes\, MAC Lyon\, France (Group\ , 7 March – 13 July).

Al l welcome.\n\nHeirloom is an installation of works created by artist Rache l Doolin. The project stems from a culmination of experiential research un dertaken during an Arctic-based residency programme\, later informed by a creative partnership with the Irish Seed Savers Association.\n\nIn 2017\, Doolin embarked on a research residency in Longyearbyen\, an industrial fr ontier town situated in Svalbard\, a remote Arctic archipelago located mid way between continental Norway and the North Pole. Here\, buried deep bene ath a permafrost mountain\, lies a backup of the world’s largest collect ion of agricultural biodiversity\, cryogenically preserved within the Sval bard Global Seed Vault. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the Unite d Nations estimates that 75% of the genetic diversity in agricultural crop s has been lost since the 20th century. As risks from the climate crisis a nd global conflict escalate\, seed banks are increasingly considered a pre cious resource that could one day prevent a worldwide food crisis.\n\nHeir loom presents a series of visual\, installation\, and digital works that c elebrate the ‘profundity of seeds’ by exploring the human thread that articulates the connection between our past\, present\, and future. It pla ces the humble seed as a profound nexus in the nature-culture relationship .\n\nThis exhibition will be accompanied by a number of workshops and acti vities. Please see website for details.

Then\, when they were ready -for some it was five minutes and for others 15-they had to turn to me and let me look at those eyes that had just seen the sea.”\n\nOne of her mo st famous works\, Calle took the photographs of strangers’ bedrooms that make up L’Hôtel over two years.\n\n“On Monday\, February 16\, 1981\, I was hired as a temporary chambermaid for three weeks in a Venetian hote l.

This is true of the artist’s process\; it is also true for the viewer. The longer you spend with Blake’s work\, the more it yields. Blake paint s meticulously\, in oils\, on an increasingly small scale in recent years\ , using canvases at times no larger than an average paperback. At first im pression\, these works convey a bright\, orderly abstraction\, composed of diamonds\, lozenges\, triangles\, and jagged serrations\, interlocked wit h a grid-like rectilinear formality. However\, upon closer inspection\, th ese repeated shapes and geometric impressions are not so streamlined or sy mmetrical as they appear\; they are not the product of careful planning bu t the result of gradually accreted layers of colour\, one laid one on top of the other\, affecting one another without intermingling."\n\nDr. Nathan O’Donnell\nFrom ‘Recent Works’ Molesworth Gallery\, March 2017\n\nH elen Blake is a painter whose practice focuses on colour\; engaging with r hythm and formalism\, chance and deliberation.\n\nUsing a working method w here process and contemplation guide the evolution of the work\, she const ructs overtly hand-made paintings which record and examine colour conversa tions within accumulating pattern structures\, embracing accidents\, flaws and discrepancies within their rhythms.\n\nStarting from an imprecise gri d structure\, and rejecting the use of pre-drawn lines or tape\, she build up layers of simple hand-painted lines and geometric shapes – square\, triangle\, rectangle\, chevron – to create intricate surfaces where colo ur fragments can interact\, sing together\, harmonise\, and sometimes jar. \n\nBlake grew up in Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, and graduated with an ho nours degree in Visual Art from Aberystwyth University\, Wales. She lives and works in County Wicklow\, Ireland. She was runner-up for the Contempor ary British Painting Prize 2022.\n\nOther awards include the Arts Council of Ireland Visual Arts Bursary Award\; The Model Cara Award\, Sligo\; Coun ty Wicklow Visual Arts Open\, Overall Winner\, Mermaid Art Centre\, Bray\, adjudicated by Patrick T Murphy\, Director\, RHA.

It brings together paintings with an otherwo rldly sensibility\, where the slippage between recollection and metamorpho sis\, between what is real or imagined\, is played out in a series of new realities.\n\nThe title of the exhibition directs us to the ‘waking mome nt’ when our sense of time and reality is unlike usual conscious experie nces. As we leave the cocoon of sleep\, the veil between waking and sleepi ng falls away and the transition from sleep’s slumber ignites continuous time and an openness of the self – nothing is finite. In this ‘precon scious’ state we are open to the possibilities of ‘becoming’. Time f eels expansive\, fluid not fixed\, and divisions between past\, present an d future dissipate in favour of a temporal fusion. The paintings in On Wak ing mirror this moment in a myriad of poetic\, philosophical and perceptua l ways.\n\nOpening up to ‘being in the world’\, these paintings also p rompt a poetic sensibility and a different viewing\, an attentive and part icipatory gaze. Encouraging an active way of seeing\, the paintings do not describe an event\, they are an event\, resembling poems and Lavinia Gree nlaw’s notion of poetic form\; “it is this vessel\, and\, it is a plac e in which you hope the reader will have something activated for them rath er than enacted for them” [1]. And like poems\, paintings hold experienc e and perception acknowledged by the viewer in the act of looking\, who ch anges what is being observed and\, through observing\, becomes part of the picture.\n\nThe paintings in this exhibition invite a slow gaze\, a compl ex ritual in ways of seeing. They pivot between representation and abstrac tion\, looking one way and the other\, oscillating productively between th e two. Occupying this liminal space\, paintings become “potential images ”\, according to Dario Gamboni\, “[…] established – in the realm o f the virtual – by the artist but dependent on the beholder for their re alization. […] Their property is to make the beholder aware […] of the active\, subjective\, nature of seeing” [2].\n\nCurated and written by Jenny Eden &\; Rebecca Sitar\n\nReferences\n[1] BBC Radio 4 (2020) Only Artists: Lavinia Greenlaw meets Charles Avery\, 11th March 2020\, 14:29. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000g43y].\n[2] Gamboni\, D. (2002) quot ed in B. Schwabsky\, ‘Everyday Painting’ (2011) Vitamin P2: New Perspe ctives in Painting. London: Phaidon Press Ltd\, p. 14.\n\nTheoretical and Socio-cultural Context\n\nThis exhibition stems from an interest in the hu man experience of time\, presented by phenomenologists Henri Bergson and M artin Heidegger. Bergson’s exploration of psychological time\, fused and in flux rather than formulaic and structured\, has particular relevance t o the exhibition. His notion of unfolding time\, where the past\, present and future converge within the human ‘encounter’\, is connected to the making and reception of paintings and central to an interpretation of the period of waking from sleep. In addition\, Martin Heidegger’s investiga tions into the ontology of being and ‘being in the world’ are also poi gnant\, suggesting an empowering responsibility in the durational activiti es of seeing and thinking.\n\nSiri Hustvedt’s essay ‘The Drama of Perc eption’ has also been considered in the context of the exhibition. Hustv edt examines the gaze from a neuroscientific perspective\, looking at the relationship between the pre-attentive and attentive gaze\, claiming a gap between these positions can 'open up' embodied engagement and ‘seeing w ith feeling’.\n\nWithin a wider artistic and philosophical context\, the works in On Waking highlight painting’s idiosyncratic characteristics a s a unique and distinct medium. Paintings hold the possibility of movement within stillness – they are containers of compressed time\, records of elongated time and an amalgamation of time-spaces from different periods. Thus\, in relation to Eastern Philosophy\, the paintings in this exhibitio n prompt a psychic experience whereby time and presence are refreshed and continuous\, and expansive moments of reflection and enlightenment are cha nnelled and processed.\n\nIn focusing on transitions and awakenings\, this exhibition promotes active looking\, mindful thinking and reception\, and a deeper appreciation of human time in relation to memory and experience. These paintings provide a counter to recent global socio-technological de velopments\, in the aftermath of lockdown decelerations\, addressing posit ive approaches to health and well-being and an attitude of slow thinking a nd contemplation.\n\nEnquiries to artgallery@limerick.ie ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/Damien-Meade-Untitled-2022-oil-on-canvas-87.5-x-53.5cm_7.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Munster - Limerick LOCATION:Limerick City Gallery of Art\, Carnegie Building\, Pery Square\, L imerick\, Limerick\, V94 E67F\, Ireland GEO:52.658795;-8.629985 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Carnegie Building\, Pery Sq uare\, Limerick\, Limerick\, V94 E67F\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE =Limerick City Gallery of Art:geo:52.658795,-8.629985 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:171@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250627 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250908 DTSTAMP:20250808T090509Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/soft-surge-group-exhibition-at-luan-ga llery SUMMARY:SOFT SURGE | Group Exhibition at Luan Gallery DESCRIPTION:\nSOFT SURGE\n\n\n\nShirani Bolle | Ursula Burke | Rachel Fallo n | Dee Mulrooney | Lucy Peters | Emily Waszak | The Irish Names Project.\ n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be launched by Laura McCormack\, Acting Arts Of ficer for Westmeath Arts Office on Friday 27th June at 6:00pm.

The project expands ideas of inti macy and relations through flings\, courtships\, longings\, and liaisons w ith the garden.\n\nThe artistic duo consider how the gamification of datin g has shaped how humans relate to one another\, from 1960s TV shows like T he Dating Game to 1990s board games like Dream Phone\, and today's swipe-b ased apps like Tinder and Bumble. These formats reduce love to strategy\, speed\, and surface\, often reinforcing transactional and disposable dynam ics. This exhibition responds to that shift\, questioning what we lose whe n intimacy becomes a game. it proposes a radical reimagining of connection - towards a more expansive\, inclusive\, and multispecies form of love an d relationality.\n\nThe audience is invited into this multispecies dating game through ritual\, material\, and speculative storytelling. The project asks: what new intimacies arise when we love without species' boundaries? \n\nMaeve O'Lynn is a writer\, filmmaker and researcher based in Belfast.

Exhibition runs until Saturday\, August 9th.\n\nThe sol o exhibition “Future Fossils: Junk or Jewels” by Fiona Mulholland pres ents new and existing photographic and sculptural works that examine our c onflicted and fragile relationship with both the natural and built environ ment. Over recent decades\, the cumulative impact of human activity on the Earth has become impossible to ignore. Along our coastlines\, flotsam\, i ndustrial detritus\, and commercial waste have become a permanent presence —bearing silent witness to a legacy of human-generated 'natural' waste.\ n\nIn these works\, the artist juxtaposes industrial materials with refere nces to heritage and archaeology\, creating poignant contrasts that prompt reflection on what we consider valuable. These sculptural ‘artifacts’ operate as visual dialogues—inviting viewers to contemplate the tension between the precious and the disposable\, the permanent and the perishabl e.\n\nThe exhibition engages with themes of resilience\, renewal\, and rep air\, foregrounding the delicate interdependence between humanity\, cultur e\, and the environment. Through material transformation and symbolic laye ring\, Mulholland invites viewers to consider what lies beneath the surfac e — both literally and metaphorically — and to reflect on how place\, memory\, and belonging are interwoven. The work becomes a space for reflec tion—on loss\, endurance\, and thoughtfully navigates the subtle depths of inner and outer landscapes\, blending myth with the shape of place.\n\n Fiona Mulholland has been working successfully across a range of visual di sciplines and contexts for over twenty-five years. Throughout her career s he has moved fluidly between fine and applied art and is motivated by mate rials\, processes and the challenges of contexts. She digs deeply into the psychological dimensions of our human experience within a given environme nt to communicate contradictions and complex rituals. Fiona has produced a ward-winning designs\, large-scale public art\, and work within gallery co ntexts. Recent public realm artwork includes a major commission\, Island C ity - Cork’s Urban sculpture Trail initiated by Cork City Council in 202 3\, alongside a solo exhibition\, ‘In Search of Pearls &\; Future Fos sils’ with Artlink at Fort Dunree in Co Donegal. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions both nationally and internationally\, most rec ently with the Hamilton Gallery in Sligo. Fiona has regularly lectured in art and design at third level\, curated several significant exhibitions an d been the recipient of several bursary awards. She currently lives and wo rks between Dublin and the Northwest of Ireland.\n\nThe exhibition was kin dly facilitated with the support of the Artists Bursary Scheme from Donega l County Council.\n\nGallery Opening Hours:\nTuesday – Friday 10am to 5p m\nSaturday 11am – 4pm\n\nInstagram: @linenhall_arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/Fiona-Mulholland.jpg CATEGORIES:Connaught,Exhibition LOCATION:Linenhall Arts Centre\, Linenhall Street\, Castlebar\, Co.

The exhibition explores the overarching theme of contemporary landscapes and o ur unfulfilled yearning for that which is primal and unspoilt\, filtered t hrough the lens of psychogeography\, Science Fiction and the sublime. In a practice which is rooted in materiality and process\, the starting point for Danell’s work is a first-hand engagement with the landscape of the a rea in Sweden where she grew up. Bodily memories of moving through the pla ces she depicts are mirrored in the physical endeavour of painting on a la rge scale\, which creates its own spatial choreography. The landscapes Dan ell depicts are real places that she has encountered and photographed. How ever rather than offering a documentary view of these places\, she uses fi ction and the imaginary to speak about present and possible futures throug h a Science Fiction reading of the landscape. A new series of large painti ngs considers ideas around spectatorship and participation\, inspired by t he large nature dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. We are presented with scenes that invite the viewer to step into the m\, yet the 2D surfaces of her paintings prevent us. Danell continuously p oints back to this push and pull between realism\, abstraction and the mat eriality of paint itself. She uses oil and acrylic on canvas in vivid shad es of greens\, purples and pinks\, using acrylic washes and layers beneath the oil paint\, and acrylic for drips because of its viscosity and veloci ty.\n\nDanell is predominantly a painter\, but also makes textile tapestri es\, ceramic and fabric sculptures and occasionally films. Danell recalls idyllic summer childhood memories of the Swedish countryside in her oversi zed fabric sculpture Lupin\, 2024 which is both beautiful and treacherous as lupins are listed as an invasive species in Sweden\, that should be era dicated when found in the wild. A series of ceramic sculptures in pastel s hades and three large colourful appliqúe tapestries memorialise snow for future generations by playing with its properties of hiding and abstractin g the underlying shapes. Echoing the snowy vistas in The Left Hand of Dark ness by Ursula Le Guin\, these are imaginary “ur-forms” that touch upo n the primeval\, merging colourful playfulness with a solemn reminder of c limate change and the state of our planet. In the same room\, the film Sno w Day\, 2025 (15 mins) camera/editing by Danell\; soundtrack by Keith Wall ace/Loner Deluxe captures a first-person view of the artist moving through the snowy woods in Sweden which is both immersive and atmospheric.\n\nA h ardback catalogue with texts by Aidan Dunne and Charity Coleman will be pu blished by Solstice Arts Centre and Kevin Kavanagh in autumn 2025.\n\nThe gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am - 4pm.

Sarah Buckley is a visual artist based in Nor th Cork. Working mainly in textiles while also incorporating sculpture and installation\, Sarah’s work is a personal exploration of childhood memo ry\, trauma\, experience and identity. Playing on emotive motifs of childh ood\, her work delves into the psychological impact of having two infantil e haemangiomas (benign vascular birthmarks). This exploration has led her to expand her curiosity and enquiry into psychic wounds\, social acceptanc e of difference and visual impairment. Interested in engaging discussion a round childhood memory and perception\, she uses the medium of textiles fo r its accessibility of understanding\, associations of childhood and slow\ , mediative production.

In his cou ntry of origin\, Mahmood trained as a medical doctor\, and he immigrated t o Ireland in 2008 to undertake further studies in the field. But he abando ned this career to pursue art\, and has been working as an artist in Irela nd since the mid-2010s. The exhibition Symplegmatic Portals features numer ous newly created works alongside an extensive selection of works made bet ween 2017 and 2024. It is the largest presentation of the artist’s work to date.\n\nSymplegmatic Portals is produced by SIRIUS and curated by Migu el Amado\, Director.\n\nLAUNCH EVENT\n\nSIRIUS\nSaturday\, 12 July\n2-4pm\ nFree\; no booking required\n\nSamir Mahmood in conversation with Seán Ki ssane\, moderated by Miguel Amado\n\nSamir Mahmood and Seán Kissane\, Cur ator at the Irish Museum of Modern Art\, discuss the exhibition’s vision \, key works on display\, the politics and aesthetics informing Mahmood’ s practice and his wider artistic intentions.\n\nAccessibility Note\nOur b uilding has accessibility limitations. There are three steps to the front door and a temporary wheelchair ramp is available upon request. Elements o f this exhibition are accessed via stairs. Our toilets are also accessed v ia stairs and are not open to visitors. Public toilets are beside the Tita nic Experience\, on The Promenade.\n\nSamir Mahmood’s practice encompass es painting\, textiles\, objects and video\, with a particular focus on th emes of identity\, representation\, bodily awareness and spiritual transfo rmation. Specifically\, he makes large-scale scrolls and small-format pain tings. Both draw from the techniques and materials of miniature painting o n the Indian subcontinent – for example rich detail\, intricate storytel ling and the use of wasli\, a specific type of handmade paper\, as a subst rate. The typical imagery features landscapes or scenes of people that ind icate power relations and structures\, wildlife or mythology. Mahmood subv erts all of this through motifs that explore his lived experience as a que er person with an Islamic upbringing.\n\nMahmood is influenced by multiple intellectual and visual references: Sufism (a chapter of Islam) and Chris tianity\; the writings of the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafez\; arch itecture\, ritual objects and practices\, ceremonies\, mysticism\, folklor e and iconographies from the Indian subcontinent and/or Islam\; alternativ e theories of consciousness\; and narratives of queer existence.\n\nMahmoo d depicts the male form in states of introspection or conviviality. Figure s appear within or surrounded by nature – trees\, vegetation\, water\, m ountains and more – in varying expressions of intimacy. In addition\, he shows figures in dialogue with sites of politics\, including courthouses and administrative chambers\, which suggest conservative customs and value s. In the work\, these bodies undergo a transcendence that speaks to a per sonal transformative potential\, representing a union with the divine or\, more broadly\, a spiritual awakening\, as well as a subversion of normati ve lifestyles.\n\nA key feature of the exhibition is the series of large-s cale scrolls portraying joyous celebrations of sexual freedom\, and the ga rden as a symbol of paradise and utopia across religions. The artist calls these works ‘queerscapes’ – spaces of liberation where bodies are i nteracting\, mutating\, coalescing.\n\nThe title of the exhibition invokes yet more of Mahmood’s key interests. ‘Symplegma’ can mean rendering s of sexual intercourse\, composite drawings in miniature painting from th e Indian subcontinent or anything that is entwined or entangled. Overall\, these interpretations speak to the artist’s embrace of hybridity\, espe cially gender indeterminacy and fluidity\, as well as his own blended cult ural experiences.\n\nSamir Mahmood lives and works in Dublin\, where he op erates from Fire Station Artist's Studios. He has held a solo show at Mart Gallery\, Dublin\, and has participated in group shows in venues such as the Irish Museum of Modern Art\, Dublin\; Pallas Projects/Studios\, Dublin \; and The Glucksman\, Cork. He holds a BA in Art from the Atlantic Techno logical University\, Galway. His work is in the collection of University C ollege Cork. He received awards from the Arts Council\, including the Next Generation\, Bursary and Agility.

It follows on from Janet’s successful exhibition at Cultúrlann Sweeney in Kilkee late last year.\nJanet began working with soft pastels in early 20 20 and has been developing her style and subject matter since then. Her su bjects range from semi-abstract landscapes and still life to animals and g ardenscapes.\nJanet says: “The joy of using soft pastels is as much a pa rt of my work as the subject matter itself. Unlike oil\, acrylic and other wet mediums\, soft pastels have to be mixed on the paper using different layering techniques.

This work is one of a series of sculptures by Wright which explores th e relationship between humans\, animals and medicine. The sculpture was ca st from a mould from a recently dead rhesus monkey at the scientific insti tution\, Wisconsin National Primate Research Centre.\n\nThe artist explain s\, “To approach the problem of what we humans do by involving animals i n our human life-saving research\, the central act of making the artwork w as to access this stage of the animal’s life-death via its direct physic al form. The primate is our kin and our stand in. Not only in medicine but also for the heart and the imagination. It is an image of the human. Ever ything about how it might be like us is filled with pathos: its body\, its proximity\, its delicate biology\, its expression. The rhesus monkey is o ur ancestor\, our antecedent past and passed away\, an object of reverie\, honour\, compassion and mourning.”\n\nThis notable addition to the coll ection continues to strengthen the Gallery’s mission of acquiring works by Irish and international artists to reflect evolving art practices. The current display of Primate coincides with Wright’s solo exhibition Deep Rooted Things in The Ashmolean Museum. Oxford which was conceived in partn ership with Hugh Lane Gallery.

The 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘴é𝘴 became a turning point in art history\, opening space for bold\, new voices and re shaping the future of creativity. This show is offered in that same spirit — a celebration of works that didn’t find a place in the usual halls\ , but still pulse with life\, vision\, and possibility. We invite artists to share pieces that were turned away by institutions over the past year — not as an end\, but as a beginning. This is about honoring the full cr eative journey: the misfits\, the almosts\, the not-yets. It’s about com ing together to build something more open\, more honest\, and more alive. Let’s create a space where refusal becomes resonance — and where conne ction\, not competition\, takes the lead.Curated by @ishmaelclaxtonphotos\ , Salon of Diúltaíodh is a gathering place for those who make with heart \, question the rules\, and carry forward the belief that art is for every one\, not just a chosen few.

Through vignettes set in both extreme and f amiliar environments\, the film portrays the processes of listening\, spea king\, and forgetting within acts of formal and informal interpretation. T his film is a study of the complex\, intersubjective nature of interpreter s’ work\, placing them at the centre\, rather than intermediaries that b lend into the background. Brady seeks to illuminate the interpretive act – an elaborate\, sensory process of listening\, decoding and responding. \nThe film emerges from research into the birth of the interpreting profes sion\, which is less than a century old. Simultaneous interpretation techn ology\, the language interpretation system that allows interpreters to hea r and speak at the same time\, was first employed prominently during the N uremberg Trials that took place between 1945 and 1946\, developing in dire ct relation to modern international diplomatic relations and the founding of the United Nations. This project builds on themes explored in Brady’s recent films\, Music for Solo Performer (2022) and Receiver (2019) which looked at the complexities of technologically mediated communication.\nThe Glass Booth examines the art of interpretation as it extends to four diff erent arenas\; Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meeting at the Geneva S ummit in 1985\, an asylum seeker interview at the International Protection Office\, a Young Interpreters programme in a Dublin primary school\, and a European conference interpreter translating into target languages in rea l time. In each setting\, though stakes are high\, slips are inevitable. O ne interpreter speaks of his reliance on muscle memory to do the job\, lik ening his work in simultaneous interpretation to his former career as a pa ramedic and interest in rally driving. Probing the negotiation between int ention and expression\, the artwork lays bare how interpretation is essent ial to humankind’s survival. The film will be screened in two\, alternat ing versions: one with subtitles and the other with audiovisual descriptio ns for blind or low vision audiences. The Glass Booth has been generously funded through the Arts Council’s Film Project Award and premiered at th e Galway Film Fleadh 2025.\nText by Aisling Clark.\nScreening Times: 11:00 am\, 11:40am\, 12:20pm\, 1:00pm\, 1:40pm\, 2:20pm\, 3:00pm\, 3:40pm\, 4:20 pm\, 5:00pm.\nThe film will be screened in two\, alternating versions: one with subtitles and the other with audiovisual descriptions for Blind or l ow vision audiences.\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-3_edited-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:Project Arts Centre\, 39 East Essex Street\, Temple Bar\, Dublin 2 \, Dublin\, Ireland GEO:-6.2662288;53.3450204 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=39 East Essex Street\, Temp le Bar\, Dublin 2\, Dublin\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Project Ar ts Centre:geo:-6.2662288,53.3450204 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:312@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250726 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20251103 DTSTAMP:20251003T090824Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/rinn-an-ireland-and-japan-dialogue-on- making-place-and-time-group-exhibition-at-the-glucksman SUMMARY:RINN: An Ireland and Japan dialogue on making\, place and time | Gr oup Exhibition at The Glucksman DESCRIPTION:Sara Flynn\, Sueharu Fukami\, Shihoko Fukumoto\, Joe Hogan\, Ei ko Kishi\, Frances Lambe\, Deirdre McLoughlin\, O'Donnell + Tuomey\, Sator u Ozaki\, Sean Scully\, Joseph Walsh\, Kan Yasuda\, Osamu Yokoyama.\n\nCur ated by Wahei Aoyama and Joseph Walsh.\n\nRINN explores the culture of mak ing and its relationship to place and time through the work of Irish and J apanese artists and architects.

All are welcome to attend.\n\nTo be spat back out is a t hree-person exhibition by Bassam Issa Al-Sabah\, Jennifer Mehigan and Caoi mhín Gaffney\, where individual and collaborative practices overlap and i nteract across world building (fiction and CGI)\, world destroying (climat e change) and worlds colliding (queer networks\, and traumatic experiences that interrupt the present as spectres). Emerging out of their conversati ons and exchange of skills across the various technologies in their work\, the images\, objects\, and animations they produce are often oriented tow ards the presentation of climate change in the media\, with each artist ex ploring how ideas of ‘nature’ can be re-examined from a postcolonial a nd queer perspective.\n\nTo be spat back out revels in waste and excess\, examining the expressions of excessive emotions as a queer strategy of res istance. Through storytelling\, images and texts\, reality bends to a brea king point\; mirroring how trauma distorts\, remakes and retells lived exp erience in its own image. The legacy of colonialism is examined as a mater ial component of the climate crisis\, and how the binary dynamics of indoo r/outdoor and private/public spaces fail to imagine what is possible in th e present.\n\nSituated in relation to their practices\, the exhibition emp loys non-linear storytelling\, poetry\, surreality\, virtual reality\, and daydreaming\, growing into a new unpredictable formation as a collective body of work.\n\nThe exhibition will run from Saturday 26 July – Saturda y 23 August 2025.\n\nGOMA Gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday\, 11am–5pm. Free entry\, all welcome.\n\n***\n\nBiographies\n\nBassam Issa Al-Sabah i s a visual artist working with digital animation\, painting\, sculpture an d textiles. often building installations that interrogate the intersection of fantasy and trauma\, employing speculative worlds as a lens through wh ich to explore the mechanisms of memory and identity formation. Frequently drawing on the visual lexicon of video games\, anime\, and popular cultur e\, constructing alternative realities that function as both a means of es cape and critical commentary.\n\nBassam Issa Al-Sabah works across digital animation\, painting\, sculpture\, and textiles. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at FACT (2025) Transmediale (2024) The DHG (2022-24) S olstice Arts Centre (2019)\, the LAB (2018) and with the Glucksman as an o ffsite installation (2021). Group exhibitions include Golden Thread Galler y (2020)\, the Dock (2021)\, Queer Embodiment and Social Fabric at IMMA (2 021-2022) and Futures at the RHA (2018). His work has also been shown inte rnationally\, including solo exhibitions at Gasworks (London\, 2021) and t he De La Warr Pavillion (UK\, 2022)\, and group exhibitions and screenings at Transmediale (Berlin\, 2021)\, EX-IS (South Korea\, 2021)\, Jeu de Pau me (Paris\, 2021) and the Barbican (London\, 2022).\n\nCaoimhín Gaffney i s an artist\, filmmaker and writer\, whose work has been shown in exhibiti ons and film festivals internationally. Gaffney’s practice comprises of film\, analogue photography\, writing and installation to allow for a cros s-pollination of ideas between the works. Solo exhibitions include the Cra wford Art Gallery\, Block 336 in London\, Contemporary Art Institute (CAI0 2) in Sapporo\, and a touring exhibition of new work from the Butler Galle ry to the Highlanes Gallery and Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre during 2024- 2025. Their films have screened at FACT\, Cork Film Festival\, Korean Quee r Film Festival\, the European Media Arts Festival and the London Short Fi lm Festival (receiving the Little White Lies award).\n\nGaffney graduated from the Royal College of Art’s MA Photography and Moving Image with dis tinction in 2011 and received their PhD from Ulster University’s School of Arts\, Humanities &\; Social Sciences in 2022. In 2014\, they were a n UNESCO-Aschberg laureate artist-in-residence at the National Museum of M odern and Contemporary Art’s Changdong residency in South Korea\, and in 2015 received a Sky Arts scholarship. Their work is featured in the colle ctions of the Arts Council\, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Crawfo rd Art Gallery.\n\nJennifer Mehigan\nUsing paint\, inkjet\, neural network s\, her garden and her phone\, Jennifer Mehigan’s prints and paintings b lend new and old methods of making and processing the world – a relation ship the artist views as a ‘strained mother-daughter’ dynamic. Mehigan ’s wider practice also incorporates sculpture\, filmmaking\, perfumery\, writing\, parties\, workshops\, and flower farming\, deploying sensory ex perience to explore the awkwardness of making images as they are overprodu ced and harvested. Her work occupies a space where pop culture\, painterly gestures\, digital materiality\, autobiography\, “public feelings” (a fter Ann Cvetkovich) and self-help literature can interact\, allowing her to investigate\, often through a non-human lens\, how power manifests in t he world.\n\nMehigan’s research focuses largely on closed systems and “defaults\,” beginning with the computer and extending through domesti c and public environments. Through this framework\, she investigates theme s of submission\, withholding\, oversharing\, and the right to remain ille gible—borrowing from GDPR legislation. Her work is particularly informed by omissions and misunderstandings of women’s contributions to horticul ture and agriculture\, examining the tension between excess and absence as it manifests within various enclosures\, namely the field\, the map\, the screen and the picture frame.\n\nPreviously based in Singapore and Belfas t\, she now lives and works in the Slieve Felim mountains in Co. Limerick. \n\nTo be spat back out runs at GOMA Waterford from 26 July – 23 August 2025. All welcome!

Blue\, with its associations of depth\ , vastness\, and the unknown\, creates an atmosphere of openness and quiet immersion.\n\nBy entering\, the viewer becomes more than a passive observ er\; they become part of the artwork. This immersive encounter opens a dia logue between the inner and outer worlds\, between what is seen and what i s felt.\n\nThe paintings explore the relationship between the psyche and t he external environment\, reflecting how perception shapes our understandi ng of reality. Often\, the outer world mirrors our internal landscape. A r ecurring motif—the net—serves as both container and filter: a web of m emory\, emotion\, and subconscious patterns. It maps the inner world\, and in doing so\, transforms our perception of the outer one.\n\nImage: Sarah Wren Wilson 'Overtly Held’- Acrylic Ink on Canvas\, 80x60cm\, 2025 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/Overtly-Held-without-boarder-vai.jpg CATEGORIES:Connaught,Exhibition LOCATION:The Custom House Gallery and Studios\, The Quay\, Westport\, Co.

Their current research grows from their connection to r ural queer existence in Ireland. This project examines (de)colonial queer loneliness / identity performativity in contemporary culture and how it is informed by our history. Over the last forty years\, we have seen a rapid shift in queer positionality in Ireland arriving at a point of queerness being synonymous with words like “new” and “radical”. With this pr oject\, Maitiú looks back at Irish history and questions how colonial occ upation and persistent Roman Catholic hegemony has purged\, burned and shi pped off so many queer stories and histories. How can you fully know your identity when you are denied its lineage and how is heteronormative cultur e able to utilise this against us? This research fits into the wider conte xt of their practice which looks at mechanisms of group assimilation\, sel f-annihilation\, and ascension within isolated queer\, white and Irish com munities. Maitiú’s work is formalised through bio-installation\, print\ , sound and video.\n\nSince completing their MA in Artistic Research in 20 23\, they have been awarded a residency in Casino Display (LUX)\, been sho rtlisted for the RDS Visual Arts Awards 2023 and selected to exhibit as pa rt of “Person\, Presence\, Perception”\, an all island of Ireland trav elling exhibition with the OPW and NI Department of Finance. Recently\, th ey presented their work as a part of Radio Solstice in Cork Midsummer Fest ival 2024 and have been awarded the Agility Award 2024.\n\nThis residency and subsequent solo exhibition will build upon the artist’s current focu s on rural queerness and agricultural processes in Ireland. During this re sidency\, they will focus on the history and effects of loneliness on rura l queer experience and how it is connected to ideas of sterility\, communi ty monoculturalism\, homogeneity\, White guilt and queer assimilation into dominant heteronormative culture. This work is an extension of Maitiú’ s research into Irish agri-policy and how it is informed by the histories of colonisation\, globalisation and western superiority.\n\nThis project a ims to reclaim queer Irish presence and identity performativity through th e voice and tradition of na coainte (nomative plural of coaineadh). Growin g from their existing material practice\, there are three elements to this research. The first is an ongoing research publication commissioned by Ba d Penny Publishing (Den Haag\, NL). As material research for this\, Maiti ú is continuing exploration of bioplastics made with lubricant and workin g with Dr. Declan Tuite to create a queer motet or polyvocal monastic chor al piece.\n\nThe residency will coincide with the Cork Pride Festival.\n\n Triskel Sample Project Space is a new partnership between Triskel and Samp le-Studios that will provide a visual arts project space for artists\, esp ecially emerging and mid-career artists\, to test ideas and to develop new work that can be seen by the public. This offers tangible career developm ent and audience engagement opportunities to artists on their ‘home turf ’ where they have a safe space to develop new ideas\, within which risk- taking is possible.

One of the three exhibiting artists will be invited to prese nt their first international solo exhibition at SPG Lake Gallery in Spring 2026. During the planning and duration of 'Faigh Amach'\, SPG Director Ju dith Carlton and Deputy Director Charlotte Baker will conduct in-person an d online studio visits with the three artists\, as well as visiting the ex hibition at TBG+S before making the selection for their programme.\n\nElla Bertilsson uses images and materials related to pop culture and the aesth etics of nostalgia to evoke a shared sense of memory and place. Her instal lations\, which often incorporate film and performance\, use the visual la nguage of magical realism and absurdism to conjure darkly humorous and dre amlike sensory environments. The clash of bizarreness and naivety reflects the impact of anxiety and precarity in everyday life. Bertilsson’s inst allation for 'Faigh Amach' creates a new encounter with a recent film work \, 'A PEANUT WORM’S DREAM'\, as viewers nestle into an immersive interio r space behind a mountain scene of a photographic backdrop. Now emerging f rom the film itself\, some of its characters – a fish\, and a goat/deer – begin to populate their real-world surroundings outside of the confine s of the film’s storage unit setting.\n\nKathy Tynan’s paintings of fa miliar cityscapes and domestic scenes illuminate moments of affection\, in timacy and curiosity. Rather than focussing her gaze on monumental landmar ks\, Tynan instead attributes value to that which is otherwise overlooked. Her semi-autobiographical subjects include her own family and friends but speak more broadly to shared enthusiasms\, experiences of care\, communit y\, and relationships. Tynan’s group of recent paintings in the exhibiti on collate a number of personal scenes from memory and family photographs. Patterned duvets and pyjamas conflate timelines between the artist’s ow n childhood and her experience as a mother with a young son. The sequence of paintings appear as a panorama of cinematic flashbacks.\n\nEmily Waszak ’s textile and assemblage works are informed by rituals of her Japanese cultural heritage\, experiences of grief and the landscape of her home in Donegal. Using both ancient and contemporary weaving techniques\, alongsid e the collection and display of found materials and other hand-made object s\, Waszak combines processes that transcend time and place to find meanin g in loss and understand how to access otherworldliness. Waszak has produc ed several large-scale woven works for the exhibition using a combination of discarded waste textiles gathered from industrial sites in Dublin\, and fragments of fabric with deep personal significance. The textiles loom ab ove a group of clay vessels holding ceremonial objects such as animal bone s\, which can be used as shakers in a form of incantation to connect with the spirit world.\n\nElla Bertilsson was born in Umeå\, Sweden\, and work s in Dublin and Kilkenny. Her recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include The Horse\, Dublin (2025)\; Ballina Art Centre (2024)\; The Dock\, Carric k-on-Shannon (2023)\; The Complex\, Dublin (2022).\n\nKathy Tynan was born and works in Dublin. Her recent solo exhibitions include Kevin Kavanagh\, Dublin (2024)\; Dunamaise Arts Centre\, Portlaoise (2022)\; Highlanes Gal lery (with Andrew Vickery)\, Drogheda (2020)\; The LAB\, Dublin (2019).\n\ nEmily Waszak was born in North Carolina\, United States\, and works betwe en Dublin and Donegal. Her recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include Re gional Cultural Centre\, Letterkenny (2026)\; Pallas Projects\, Dublin (20 24)\; TU Dublin (2023).\n\nSouthwark Park Galleries is an interdisciplinar y arts organisation in South East London. Through a locally relevant and i nternationally significant programme of exhibitions\, performances and pub lic engagement\, their mission is to connect people using the intersection of art\, nature and culture to facilitate meaning and wellbeing across co mmunities.

He reimagines re al landscapes to reflect on ecological degradation\, peripherality and spe culative futures in the age of the Anthropocene.\n\n- Peter Bradley create s large\, mixed media figurative works that examine gender\, identity\, se x and sexuality beyond binary norms. Using layered transparency\, light an d reflectivity in his work has allowed Bradley to analyse the reciprocal r elationship between the viewer\, the work and the environment - highlighti ng how perception and interaction shape understanding.\n\n- John O’Flynn is a Galway born artist based in Dublin whose work merges graffiti\, stre et art and industrial design. Using spray paint\, acrylic and watercolour\ , he reflects on urban and natural landscapes\, light and introspection. H is expressive compositions explore everyday monotony and perception\, aimi ng to forge connection through shared reflection.\n\nA Unifying Thread\nWh at ties these works together is a sense of reflection on landscape\, on id entity and on our evolving cultural moment. Each piece encourages the view er to pause\, consider and connect with the shifting worlds — both outer and inner — that these artists illuminate.\n\nAll artworks are availabl e for purchase online and in the gallery.\n\nGallery opening hours are 10a m to 5.30pm Monday to Friday\, 11am to 5pm on Saturday.

This immersive audio-visual exhibition draws on mythological and spiritual traditions while using advanced digital tools t o examine our relationship with the natural world.\n\nDavid Ian Bickley’ s work is rooted in a belief that landscape is not merely a backdrop to hu man activity—it is a living archive of movement\, memory\, and transform ation. As a canvas for time\, these places embody a continuous dialogue be tween presence and absence\, between the physical trace and the invisible resonance of experience. The terrain holds not just history\, but the impr int of intention and the rhythm of existence itself. Influenced by folklor e and folk memory\, prehistoric monuments\, and the elemental power of pla ce\, his practice blends field recordings\, ambient composition\, symbolic imagery\, and experimental film techniques to evoke “the spirit of plac e.”\n\nAt the same time\, the work is grounded in contemporary processes . Bickley uses modular synthesisers\, micrographic textures\, and custom-b uilt projection systems to create environments that are both ancient and f uturistic. His concept of a “particle accelerator for the mind” reflec ts this duality—where myth and machine meet to uncover hidden layers of perception.\n\nThis exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the evolving relationship between humans\, land\, and technology. It is a journey throu gh time and terrain\, where the soil becomes a medium for both memory and transformation.

Born and based in the Kilrush area\, she draws end less inspiration from the shifting moods of the River Shannon and the Atla ntic coast.\n\nMediums: Primarily works in oils\, but also acrylics\, char coal\, and encaustic (pigmented beeswax). Over 25 years of painting\, her style has matured into vibrant pieces rich in texture and transparency\, o ften incorporating abstract elements layered with pastel\, charcoal\, and acrylic before final oil or wax finishes.\n\nShe loves nothing more than g etting out into the landscape to sketch. Her creative approach begins with music\, layered gesso\, and quick studies. Uses photo references and mirr ors to evaluate composition\, spraying\, erasing\, and layering until the piece feels complete. She finds beauty in the ordinary local scenes such a s boglands\, seascapes\, coastlines and this comes through in her work.\n\ nPauline often photographs landscapes before painting. Referencing photos during her process helps capture the authenticity of light\, mood\, and co mposition. She waits days before signing the work to ensure total satisfac tion of the piece.\n\nExhibitions &\; Community Involvement\n2022: Firs t solo exhibition “On Our Doorstep” at Cultúrlann Sweeney Gallery\, K ilkee\, Officially opened by Artist Ruth Wood.\n2024: Exhibition “Inspir ed Landscapes and Beyond” at Clare Museum\, officially opened by wildlif e expert Éanna Ní Lamhna.\nJune 2025: Exhibition “Breaking Borders" in Kinvara.\nJuly 2025: Part of the Summer Exhibition at the Kenny Gallery\, Galway.

He studied at Dun Laoghaire College of Art and Design and later in Berlin\, drawing inspiration from the Bauha us tradition\, Irish writers like Samuel Beckett and James Joyce\, and con temporary issues. Byrne is also recognized for his involvement in the punk movement\, which influenced some of his early work\, including album cove r designs and street art. Tom was commissioned to do portraits by Hollywoo d filmmaker Elizabeth Banks\, Matthew Rhys and Kerri Russell. In 2018\, he was commissioned to create a piece for Pop Francis’s visit to Lithuania \, which now hangs in the Vatican. . Tom Byrne's style is very unique\, he creates luxurious textures in nuanced\, lush layers of paint and structur ed layers of colour\, mediated by his own aesthetic experiences. Swirls of jewel-like colours transcend opaque\, opulent washes of tone. Furthermore \, he utilizes wax to create a luminous tangible surface which creates a m ulti-sensory experience\, engaging the viewer not just on a visual level\, but through a tactile experience as well.

Spreagann siad cuimhní ar mo mhuintir dhúchais nach réitíonn leis a n chineál saoil atá agam sa lá atá inniu ann\, mar shampla mo sheanath air ag baint na móna ar Shliabh gCod – ní raibh ‘sleán’ i mo dhor n agam riamh.\nLéiríonn mo chuid saothair na coimhlintí sin – tá cui d acu nár críochnaíodh mar is ceart nó atá folaithe ar bhealach d’a on ghnó. Leagtar móitífeanna físiúla ó thréimhsí éagsúla d’eal aín dhúchasach na hÉireann ar bharr a chéile – agus an teibíocht fi te fuaite iontu.\nIs ealaíontóir as contae Chill Dara é Rónán Ó Ragh ailligh a oibríonn le péint\, scríbhneoireacht agus léirithe. Téann a chuid oibre i ngleic le Éirinn roimh theacht na Críostaíochta chun agh aidh a thabhairt ar ghníomhaíocht chomhaimseartha iarchoilíneach. Feidh míonn an béaloideas\, an stair agus an tseandálaíocht mar thús pointe don taighde. Tá sé ag foghlaim na Gaeilge arís agus é ina dhuine fás ta agus téann an t-eispéireas sin i bhfeidhm go mór ar a chuid saothair .\nBhain Rónán céim amach ón Choláiste Ealaíne agus Deartha le céim mháistreachta sa Mhínealaíon in 2021 agus cuireadh saothar dá chuid a r taispeáint in Éirinn agus thar sáile. Is é ‘Turais Taibhsí’ an dara taispeántas aonair aige i mBéal Feirste\, i ndiaidh dó ‘Vae Vict is’ a thaispeáint in Platform Arts in 2022.\n\nThere are sacred places in the land. They hold ghosts. We have disturbed them.\nEach painting in t his exhibition is the result of a personal pilgrimage to a sacred place in the Irish landscape. I researched the folklore imbued in these places\, t heir logainmneacha (Irish place names) and archaeology. I have a personal connection to many of the places visited. I performed meditations to ‘ch annel’ the places\, like the filí used to do. My research and meditatio n visions formed a spring for new paintings.\nSacred places are sites of c onflict. Their folklore has been overlaid by Christianity. Their Irish nam es have been translated. Archaeological finds have been removed. They are damaged naturally\, but some have been purposefully vandalised like at the Hill of Tara. Some are destroyed by state-approved industry such as quarr ying of the Hill of Allen by Roadstone Ltd. Most sites are on private land . They are often surrounded by Sitka spruce forests. They prompt ancestral memories at odds with my contemporary life such as my grandfather’s tur f cutting on Church Mountain- I have never held a ‘sleán.’\nMy painti ng method mirrors these conflicts- some parts are deliberately unfinished and obscured. Visual motifs from various periods of vernacular Irish art a re overlaid on top of each other\, blended with abstraction.\n\nRónán Ó Raghallaigh is an artist from Kildare working with painting\, writing and performance. His practice engages with pre-Christian Ireland as a means f or contemporary postcolonial action. Folklore\, history and archaeology ro oted in the Irish landscape form a foundation for research. He is re-learn ing Irish as an adult which greatly informs his work.\nRónán graduated f rom NCAD in 2021 with an MFA Art in the Contemporary World and has exhibit ed his work in Ireland and abroad. ‘Turais Taibhsí’ marks his second solo exhibition in Belfast\, having exhibited ‘Vae Victis’ in Platform Arts in 2022.

The series seeks to reconcile production in an abstract expressionist aest hetic with the desire to make work which contains and contributes to const ructive narratives regarding cultural diversity and society. The work conn ects the artist's definition of drawing as ‘to describe a path’ into t he verbal field.\nThe work is initiated from hand movements taken from pri mary school Principal Mary Harbinson\, describing ‘Different Journeys to the Same Place’\, as an educational objective in the multi-cultural sch ool. For other works the artist recorded his own hand movements as he desc ribed his consideration of the need to simultaneously respect and protect cultural diversity.\nMichael Doherty paints in oils\, in an expressive abs tract aesthetic grounded in his drawing practice. His works are rooted in narratives around cultural diversity\, society and the environment. While practicing as an architect he qualified from the Ulster University in 2023 with a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art. The boundaries of perceive d surfaces\, and places where line and surface meet\, are critical in his approach to the resolution of his drawings and paintings.\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-2-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Northern Ireland - Belfast LOCATION:The Engine Room Gallery\, 59 North St\, Belfast\, BT1 1NB\, Irelan d GEO:-5.9303075;54.6017632 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=59 North St\, Belfast\, BT1 1NB\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Engine Room Gallery:geo:-5.9 303075,54.6017632 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:181@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250807T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250920T170000 DTSTAMP:20261020T165232Z URL: SUMMARY:Frits de Ridder: Staring at the Sun DESCRIPTION:For the first time in over thirty years\, the powerful and deep ly personal work of Dutch photographer Frits de Ridder (1954–1994) will be showcased in an exhibition\, opening on August 7\, 2025\, at Belfast Ex posed.

Is é ‘Turais Taibhsí’ an dara t aispeántas aonair aige i mBéal Feirste\, i ndiaidh dó ‘Vae Victis’ a thaispeáint in Platform Arts in 2022. There are sacred places in the l and. They hold ghosts. We have disturbed them. Each painting in this exhib ition is the result of a personal pilgrimage to a sacred place in the Iris h landscape. I researched the folklore imbued in these places\, their loga inmneacha (Irish place names) and archaeology. I have a personal connectio n to many of the places visited. I performed meditations to ‘channel’ the places\, like the filí used to do. My research and meditation visions formed a spring for new paintings. Sacred places are sites of conflict. T heir folklore has been overlaid by Christianity. Their Irish names have be en translated. Archaeological finds have been removed. They are damaged na turally\, but some have been purposefully vandalised like at the Hill of T ara. Some are destroyed by state-approved industry such as quarrying of th e Hill of Allen by Roadstone Ltd. Most sites are on private land. They are often surrounded by Sitka spruce forests. They prompt ancestral memories at odds with my contemporary life such as my grandfather’s turf cutting on Church Mountain- I have never held a ‘sleán.’ My painting method m irrors these conflicts- some parts are deliberately unfinished and obscure d. Visual motifs from various periods of vernacular Irish art are overlaid on top of each other\, blended with abstraction. Rónán Ó Raghallaigh is an artist from Kildare working with painting\, writing and performance. His practice engages with pre-Christian Ireland as a means for contempora ry postcolonial action. Folklore\, history and archaeology rooted in the I rish landscape form a foundation for research. He is re-learning Irish as an adult which greatly informs his work. Rónán graduated from NCAD in 2 021 with an MFA Art in the Contemporary World and has exhibited his work i n Ireland and abroad. ‘Turais Taibhsí’ marks his second solo exhibiti on in Belfast\, having exhibited ‘Vae Victis’ in Platform Arts in 2022 .

This extraordinary celebration represents an art and music festival like no oth er\, bringing together the latest in live art practice with local and nati onal musicians\, complemented by workshops designed to foster creative exp loration and cultural dialogue.\n\nAt its heart\, CONVERGENCE embodies the concept of “A Borderless Romance” – a passionate love affair betwee n artistic disciplines\, cultures\, and creative voices that transcends ge ographical\, stylistic\, and conceptual boundaries. This romance speaks to the intimate connections formed when artists from different backgrounds c ome together to create something entirely new. The festival’s philosophy embraces the idea that art\, like love\, knows no borders. It celebrates the magnetic pull between diverse creative practices\, the seductive dialo gue between sound and movement\, between tradition and innovation\, betwee n the local and the global. This borderless romance manifests in collabora tive works that emerge from the intersections of different artistic langua ges\, creating hybrid forms that could only exist in such an open\, bounda ry-dissolving environment.\nJust as romance involves vulnerability\, trust \, and the willingness to be transformed by another\, CONVERGENCE invites artists and audiences to step beyond their comfort zones\, to engage with unfamiliar forms of expression\, and to allow themselves to be changed by the encounter. The festival becomes a space where creative intimacy flouri shes – where Irish traditional music might dance with experimental perfo rmance art\, where international voices blend with local stories\, and whe re the audience becomes part of the romantic embrace between art forms.\nC onvergence: A Borderless Romance\n\nWhen: 8th-10th of August\n\nWhere: Liv e Art Ireland\, Milford House\, Borrisokane\, Co.Tipperary.\n\nThe Lineup: \nLocal and national musicians will present original works and\ncollaborat ive performances\, creating unique sonic experiences that complement the v isual arts programming.\nThe festival will feature innovative live art pra ctices from both\nestablished and emerging artists\, pushing the boundarie s of contemporary performance art.\n\nFriday\n2pm Monstera Deliciosa\n3-5p m Maja Zeco\, 2 hour durational performance\n5.10pm Shirani Bolle\n6.15pm - 7.15 pm Laura Leuzzi Keynote Lecture\n7.15pm - 8.15pm intermission\n8.30 pm Andy Spearpoint\n9.30pm Nightwood\n10.30pm Ian Whitty and the exchange\ n11.30pm Ruari Santiago McBride\n\nSaturday\n11am Juliette Murphy\n12pm Fe rgus Byrne - 1 hour\n1.15 pm Katharine Meynell\n2-4 pm Workshop by Denys B lacker 1 hour\nPerformance Denys Blacker 1 hour\n4.30pm Nic an tSaoi\n6pm Sandra Johnston 1 hour\n7-8pm intermission\n8.30pm Yael - Film 1.20 minute s ‘ Letter to My Tribe’\n9.30pm Mary and the pigeons 1 hour\n10.30pm L iam O Maonlai 1 hour\n11.30pm VaticanJail 1 hour\n00:00 Paul and Marianne Midnight performance\n\nSunday\n12pm - 3pm Party Here and Now Workshop + G roup Performance\n3.15pm Marie Chantal Hamrock 15 minute performance\n3.45 pm Renn 1 hour\n5pm-6pm Cáit Ní Riain\n7pm Film by Annie Sprinkle and Be th Stephens\n8.30pm Ritual virtually by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens\, introduction by Lady Monster in person\n\nFilm Program:\nA special film s creening featuring work by Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens and\nb.h.Yael wi ll complement the live performances.

During their research phase\, artists conducted experiments with diverse materials and objects\, examin ing the often hidden processes and energies involved in their creation. Ma tters of Process highlights these processes and showcases how they influen ced the generation of new work and ideas.\n\nNiamh Fahy's approach examine s how disembodied forms might metamorphose into speculative bodies within the landscape. Working with the malleable and translucent qualities of wax \, the artist introduces the disobedient cow's tongue\, detached from noti ons of human ownership. Her series of 'roaming' sculpture works forms a pl ayful engagement with imagined worlds and unseen relationships in the land scape. Lucy Mulholland’s sculptural practice explores ecological precari ty\, interspecies entanglement\, and the ethics of care through labour-int ensive processes like mould-making\, slip-casting\, and metal casting. She works primarily with clay\, metal\, and paper\, investigating how these r aw materials are transformed through process. Humour and play are key stra tegies in her work — ways of navigating the emotional complexity of livi ng through ongoing crisis. Her recent work examines how small\, seemingly futile gestures can take on new meaning when viewed through the lens of cl imate anxiety and collective denial. Blaine O'Donnell has created new work investigating the sculptural potential of electro-mineral accretion proce sses\, where limestone deposits gradually build up on wire forming an Iris h word in a tank of mineral-enriched water. O'Donnell explores the art obj ect as a site for the meeting of disparate things - limestone dust\, metal \, electricity\, water\, solar energy\, and the Irish language - tracing p oints of separation and connection between the material and incorporeal\, presence and absence\, artwork and place. Kate Oram's large-scale welded s teel installation features fractal-inspired branching forms\, echoing the self-similar\, repeating patterns of tree growth. These sculptures are roo ted in an exploration of recursive geometry\, mirroring the natural logic of tree development and limb structures. The works aim to translate natura l growth systems into durable\, tactile forms that provide space for quiet observation and bodily resonance. Sonya Swarte's installation employs the mechanics and processes associated with the early stages of photography a nd animation to reconfigure images from mobile phones\, old photographs\, postcards\, drawings\, animation\, and diaries. Inspired by the persistenc e of images from the past\, as in the concept of 'hauntology'\, Sonya work s with print\, drawing and photo-reel manipulation to develop an experimen tal work-in-progress installation using a self-made mutoscope\, a praxinos cope and series of wall-mounted drawings.\n\nBio’s\n\nNiamh Fahy is a vi sual artist and researcher from Galway\, she has worked as a Research Asso ciate at the Centre for Print Research (CFPR) at the University of the Wes t of England. She completed her BA in Fine Art Printmaking at the Limerick School of Art and Design\, Ireland and holds her MA in Multidisciplinary Printmaking\, University of the West of England (2019) and she is currentl y studying towards completing her PhD. Through her practice\, Niamh invest igates the possibilities and capacity for the print artist to challenge an d expand modes of understanding anthropogenic changes within landscape. Be tween 2021 and 2023 she was awarded the UWE HAS-ACE connecting research pr oject grant for the project Slow Violence and River Abuse: The Hidden Effe ct of Land Use on Water Quality. Her work has been exhibited nationally an d internationally at shows including The Masters: Relief\, Bankside Galler y\, London. The RWA\, Bristol. The TYPA letterpress and Paper Arts Centre\ , Estonia. International Printmaking Conference Impact 9\, Hangzhou\, Chin a and Woolwich Contemporary Printmaking Fair\, London.\nhttp://www.niamhfa hy.com/\n\nLucy Mulholland (b. 1999) is an emerging artist based in Belfas t. Working across sculpture and installation\, her practice playfully inve stigates connections and exchanges between humans and the more-than-human world. She focuses on actions or gestures that may seem insignificant or e ven futile\, reimagining them as catalysts for potential future action. Lu cy holds a First-Class Honours degree in Sculpture from Edinburgh College of Art (2022) and was recently awarded the 2025 Gilbert Bayes Award by the Royal Society of Sculptors and the Meyer Oppenheim Prize at the 195th RSA Annual Exhibition. She has exhibited across Ireland and the UK\, includin g Hidden Door Arts Festival Edinburgh\, AWAKEN (Artlink\, Buncrana)\, Mate rials\, Messages and Meanings (R-Space\, Lisburn)\, and They Had Four Year s (GENERATOR projects\, Dundee).\n\nBlaine O'Donnell received the 2019 Eme rging Irish Artist Residency Award at the Burren College of Art\, followed by the exhibitions CAOL AIT\, BCA\, Clare (2019) and CAOL AIT Cuid a Do\, 126 Gallery\, Galway (2020). In 2021\, he created a permanent sculptural installation at VOID\, Derry\, for Office of the Rest\, a Forerunner proje ct commissioned by Mary Cremin. O'Donnell's essay Things to Do With Photog raphs was shortlisted for the Source Magazine Writers Prize 2021. Recent e xhibitions include hinder/further\, The Complex\, Dublin (2022)\, and TWO PHOTOGRAPHS AWAY\, Ardgillan Gallery\, Balbriggan (2024). Residencies incl ude the Temple Bar Gallery+Studios / HIAP Residency Exchange (2023)\, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico (2024)\, and Fire Station Artist s' Studios\, Dublin (2024/5). Awards include the EMERGENCE Award\, Wexford Arts Centre (2024) and the Paul Robinson Award\, TBG+S (2025).\n\nKate Or am was awarded a Bachelor’s degree in Wood\, Metal\, Ceramics and Plasti cs in Brighton in 1991. After thirty years in the studio producing finely crafted bronze and stone sculpture\, in 2021 she completed an MA in Creati ve Practice at IT Sligo during which she engaged with new processes\, expl oring the depths of her connection to the landscape. Her work has evolved towards a more conceptual\, ecologically-focused art practice\, allowing t he creative forces of nature to shape her work.

In 2007 she came to Ireland and has since been based in L eitrim where she lives with her three children. Swarte finished an Art and Design course (ETB) in 2017 and a Masters in Creative Arts (ATU Sligo) in 2022. During the Masters she started working in film photography and (sto p motion) animation and later made a collaborative work entitled Bridey\, with M. Blake\, which was shown at the Galway Film Festival that year. In 2023 Swarte took part in the Chervona Kalyna animation project for Creativ e Leitrim and is based at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre where she continues to explore various ways of printing\, developing photos and super 8 film. In 2025 Swarte joined the art collective ^ in Manorhamilton and is also a member of the Manorhamilton Print group where she facilitates print works hops with other artists.\n\nImage credit: Kate Oram\, Work in Progress.

Born in Wales\, this director\, actor\, musician\, and po et initially trained as a professional actress\, a future derailed by marr iage and children. Arden turned to writing\, and had some success with sta ge and television projects. With her work increasingly informed by her pol itics\, the beginning of a personal and professional relationship with dir ector Jack Bond facilitated the move to film\, and the small body of work for which she is here celebrated. Following her death\, Bond withdrew thes e often strongly autobiographical films from circulation\, only relenting decades later.

Beauty is at its heart.\n\nIn geolo gical terms a bedding plane is a surface representing contact between a de posit and a depositing medium such as water and atmosphere during a time o f change and this is reflected in a difference in texture or composition\, with a bedding plane representing the visible line of change. This beddin g plane however takes a more nuanced form and includes works made from lay ers of colour\, paper and clay. The pop up Gallery lies at the bottom of a long narrow ‘natural’ garden that is a haven for wildlife and biodive rsity. As the viewer navigates their way to the room along a winding path through birdsong and dappled light from the surrounding trees the journey itself becomes a contemplative experience and the boundary between art and nature disappears.\n\nThe Bedding Planes is curated by Helena Gorey and s hows her works on paper alongside forms and vessels in clay by Rob Pearson and Peter Scroope and introduces Roise O’Shea.\n\nOpen daily from 2.00p m to 6.00pm from the 10th to 17th August 2025.\nPop Up Gallery during Kilk enny Arts Festival\, Burnchurch R95 Y0C8 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/The-Bedding-Planes-final-copy.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Pop Up Gallery Burnchurch\, The Lodge\, Burnchurch\, Kilkenny\, Ki lkenny\, R95 Y0C8\, Ireland GEO:-7.293109;52.581452 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Lodge\, Burnchurch\, Ki lkenny\, Kilkenny\, R95 Y0C8\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Pop Up G allery Burnchurch:geo:-7.293109,52.581452 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:290@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250811 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250831 DTSTAMP:20250808T091410Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/as-one-leans-into-another-naomi-draper SUMMARY:As One Leans Into Another | Naomi Draper at Esker Arts DESCRIPTION:Exhibition continues 5 July - 30 August 2025.\n\nNaomi Draper's work references a diverse range of research sources that are centred arou nd botany and botanical activity throughout history. It investigates proce sses of collecting\, preserving\, and archiving natural particles\, fragme nts and found objects harvested from our landscape.\n\nNaomi is interested in the role process’ of production and making can play in the negotiati on of relationships between humans and other matter.

Working primarily with oil paints\, Fox brings these walls\, all eys and derelict structures to life on canvas\, transforming the often-ove rlooked art of graffiti into evocative pieces that resonate with a modern audience. His paintings are not merely visual explorations but rather prof ound dialogues with the culture\, identity and rebellion found within the modern landscape.\n\nThrough meticulous attention to detail and a nuanced understanding of colour and form\, Fox’s works serve as a testament to t he hidden beauty and enduring spirit of street art and graffiti \, weaving a tangible connection between the every day and the extraordinary. His co llection is a love letter to the streets\, a celebration of the unspoken\, and a compelling journey through contemporary Ireland’s visual voice.

Special music al performance by Rory Pierce\n\n\n\nThe Ballinglen Arts Foundation is pro ud to present Janet Pierce: Into the Light\, a solo exhibition by the dist inguished Scottish-born\, Dublin-based artist Janet Pierce. Running from A ugust 9 to\n\n\n\nOctober 20\, 2025\, this exhibition brings together new and recent works that explore luminosity\, inner vision\, and spiritual re sonance through richly layered abstraction.\n\n\n\nPierce’s work draws o n a lifetime of immersion in the landscapes of Co Fermanagh and Co Monagha n. Her paintings—ethereal yet grounded—serve as meditative spaces that invite reflection and stillness. Known for her use of gold leaf\, translu cent washes\, and sacred symbols\, Pierce's visual language bridges the ma terial and the mystical\, offering viewers a pathway “into the light.” \n\n\n\nOver more than a decade\, Pierce spent winters in India\, exhibiti ng widely in New Delhi and producing a book with acclaimed poet Sudeep Sen . Two significant works from that period—a painting and a tapestry—are permanently installed in Mageough Chapel in Rathmines\, Dublin. Now based in Rathmines after 15 years living in a house she built on the grounds of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre\, Pierce continues to create work that is at on ce deeply personal and universally resonant.\n\n\n\nA member of Aosdána\, she has exhibited extensively in Ireland\, the UK\, the United States\, a nd India. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections\, an d she has received international recognition\, including awards from the F undación Valparaíso in Spain and the Sanskriti Foundation in India.\n\n\ n\nThis exhibition marks a significant return to the west of Ireland for a n artist whose practice is rooted in silence\, spirit\, and landscape.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-2.jpg CATEGORIES:Connaught,Exhibition LOCATION:The Ballinglen Arts Foundation\, Main Street\, Ballycastle\, Co.

Supported by Wexford County Council’s Climate Action and Culture Teams.\n\nFriday 15th August – Friday 12th September\, 2025\nWexford Co unty Council\, Carricklawn Wexford\, Y35 WY93\n\nOpening Event: Thursday 1 4th August\, 6pm\nGuest Speaker: Arts Consultant\, Ruairí Ó Cuív\n\nCon tainer\, an exhibition by visual artist Nina McGowan opens in County Hall on Thursday 14th August at 6pm. This exhibition\, which explores our relat ionship to climate change\, uses familiar\, domestic objects transformed i nto a large-scale sculpture installation.\n\nOver the past two years\, Nin a worked with Trinity College Dublin as part of “House on the Beach”\, a Creative Ireland funded Creative Climate Action project. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of curated round-table talks at beaches throug hout Wexford\, on topics such as the circular economy\, materials\, nature -based solutions\, and water quality\; all very pertinent themes for the t imes that we live in.\n\nThe exhibition\, Container\, strives to make comp rehensible the urgency to act in the face of the threat of the climate cri sis. It comprises three sculptural pieces constructed from household objec ts on a monumental scale. The scale is intended to reflect the magnitude o f the challenge we face. The medium conveys the weight of materialism and its contribution to climate change. While the treatment—each piece is ch arred to reveal a beautiful but dissonant charcoal surface—evokes a sens e of what we stand to lose.\nThe thought-provoking sculptures lead us to q uestion what we have accumulated in our own homes. What is inside our own wardrobes and our houses that we perhaps don’t use or need? All of these accumulations can be a burden and put pressure on the earth's finite reso urces. In Ireland\, we discard around 110\,000 tonnes of textiles as waste every year\, of which around 64\,000 tonnes are discarded as household wa ste via kerbside collection\, the majority being clothing.\n\nA “House o n the Beach” represents an aspiration and an ideal: someone might say th ey ultimately want to retire to ‘a house by the beach’. But the issue of global warming and the impact of coastal erosion is questioning our val ue system and whether the way of life we have become accustomed to is sust ainable. How do we live\, and what might we need to change and leave behin d?\n\nThis is a work about loss and the prospect of losing not only the na tural world but also cultural artefacts and practices. The range of furnit ure used within the exhibition reflects the architecture and evokes the as pirations of past generations. Yet these old items are not valued in today ’s world.\n\nNina McGowan is a visual artist who has been working in the area of immersive sculptural installation for over 20 years. She is a cli mate activist and a world champion and world record holder in the growing sport of freediving. She is Ireland’s ambassador for the Captain Paul Wa tson Foundation\, whose mission is to end the destruction of habitats and illegal killing of marine wildlife in our seas.\n…………………… ……………………………………………\n\nTalks on the Tide\n Running parallel to the exhibition\, curated talks will examine different climate themes and explore the actions we can take together. Guest speaker s include local artists and community groups with researchers and staff fr om Trinity College Dublin. These talks will be held on the beach as the ti de approaches. All welcome to join the conversation with artist Nina McGow an\, guest speakers and staff from Wexford County Council Climate Action t eam.\n\nFor further information about this project\, email houseonthebeach wexford@gmail.com or visit https://www.tcd.ie/sustainability/events-listin g/.

Exhibiti on runs until Saturday\, September 27.\nEcho/Locate is a site-specific ins tallation of new and existing work by Sorcha McNamara.\nMcNamara’s pract ice engages with deconstructive methods of painting\, framing\, language a nd image-making. She repurposes found materials to create lyrical\, fragme nted compositions that frequently respond to the spaces they are placed in \, while questioning personal and conceptual tensions around craft\, manip ulation\, agency and value.\nAs a process\, echolocation is used by certai n animals\, as well as blind\, visually impaired and sighted people\, to m ap or assess their environment. A way of locating distant or invisible obj ects by making particular noises and paying attention to the sound waves\, or echoes\, reflected back to them. A way of reading a room\, processing spatial information\, determining the shape\, position and motion of objec ts. Adapting this notion to the sense of familiarity one might feel in any given space at any given time\, Echo/Locate acts as a kind of interlocuto r\, questioning the ways in which we gauge our surroundings through tangib le\, sensuous forms.\nNavigating this dynamic between space and feeling\, the exhibition design was developed in consultation with Aidan Conway of M ARMAR Architects. The installation focuses on disrupting and modifying the space using existing gallery structures\, as well as dismantling conventi onal notions of how an artwork is seen\, encountered and appreciated.\nEch o/Locate is jointly supported by Mayo County Council Arts Office and The G olden Fleece Award.\n\nAbout the Artist:\nSorcha McNamara is an artist\, o riginally from Co. Mayo\, currently based in Fire Station Artists’ Studi os\, Dublin. Her work was shortlisted for the 2025 Golden Fleece Award.

This will be followed by an i n-depth talk on the history of Monastic Ireland\, examining the visual for ms associated with sites such as the Abbey of Kells\, exploring how trade and conquest during the Viking raids produced patterns of visual exchange with areas such as Iona.

This saw a dramatic surge in the development of visual art and literature throughout Europe. This was equally true in I reland\; still a part of the British Empire\, Irish artists nonetheless dr ew on the prevailing Neoclassicism and Romanticism to create a distinctly Irish identity. We will discuss artists including John Hogan and Daniel Ma clise\, also exploring the impact that classical sculpture and broader Eur opean visual developments had through the development of the Cork School o f Art and the local collection.\n\n\n\nAfternoon Site Visit: St Finbarr’ s Cathedral\n\n\n\nDAY 3\, WEDNESDAY 20 AUGUST: IRISH MODERNISM:\n\n\n\nMo dernity brought about an increasingly integrated and globalised world thro ugh industrial and technological developments. Alongside these development s\, visual artists strove to develop new ways in which a radically shiftin g world could be visualised. With these new phenomena in mind\, we will ex plore how artists in Ireland developed a distinctly Irish modernism\, both through travel and cultural exchange with our ever-more accessible Europe an neighbours\, and in response to the specific issues that faced Irish id entity at the turn of the twentieth century.\n\n\n\nAfternoon Site Visit: The Honan Chapel\n\n\n\nDAY 4\, THURSDAY 21 AUGUST: CONTEMPORARY ART IN IR ELAND:\n\n\n\nWe finish our journey through the history of Irish art by tu rning our attention to the here and now. In the present day\, Irish artist s are beset with the question that faces artists the world over – what d oes it feel like to be alive today? In the twenty-first century\, this mea ns a melting pot of cultures\, media\, visual forms\, and meanings. Contem porary Irish art represents this diversity – in today’s lecture\, we s urvey some of the most prominent Irish contemporary artists\, exploring ho w their practice advances both visual culture and the most pressing issues that face us in the present climate.

See more on www.marycullenkelly.com\nThe e xhibition title references the TV series MadMen\; there the ‘carousel’ is a Kodak slide projector that ‘moves the viewer forwards and backward s’ in time.This series of paintings\, prints and objects seek to describ e a world that can feel familiar and strange all at the same time. Things are always changing. The artist draws on science fiction movies from the 5 0s and 60s. Colourful paintings of domestic and ‘small town’ settings draw us in with a whiff of nostalgia\, a sense of the familiar which is su bverted as things are not quite as expected. Photopolymer prints and made objects offer clues that the world we are in has been altered. Flora and o ther items have appeared nearby. Questions are posed but not answered. The world has changed and we are not quite sure where we are.\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/Website-Image-Template-600-x-400px-10.png CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Dunamaise Arts Centre\, Church Street\, Portlaoise\, Co.

Shane delv es into Irish upland traditions—particularly the historic burning of ait eann (furze/gorse)—and how fire was once both a tool and a symbol in rur al life. From folklore to flora\, he transforms aiteann and sitka spruce i nto drawing charcoal to tell a story of loss\, resilience\, and renewal.\n \n\n\nWildfire is a natural earth system process in close interactive rela tionship with human activity since prehistoric times\, that has shaped cul tural landscapes and defined ways of life. Humans use fire to modify their landscape\, clear land for agriculture and development and replenish soil nutrients.\n\n\n\nAt the same time\, fire's destructive power endangers l ivelihoods and landscapes. Anthropogenic climate change disrupts the fine balance between wildfire and humans\, directly through its influence on th e natural environment and indirectly by impacting on societal structures a nd behaviours\, threatening tangible and intangible cultural heritage. To this day\, there is little understanding on the role of wildfire in damagi ng or creating cultural heritage.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/15_aiteann100.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Roundwood Parish Hall\, Main Street Roundwood\, Co.

Who Cares? | Aaron Sunderland Carey at The LAB Gallery DESCRIPTION:\nThursday 21 August - Tuesday 30 September 2025\n\n\n\nCurated by Margarita Cappock \;\n\n\n\nNach Cuma? Who Cares? \;is an exhi bition that explores the politics of care and responsibility with a focus on class and race within working class communities in Dublin. Developed ou t of a series of collaborative workshops with youth and adult groups in Ri alto\, Bluebell and Ballymun the project responds to an alarming rise in h ate-driven rhetoric and division\, particularly within working-class space s. \;\n\n\n\nThis exhibition follows on from Carey’s earlier work&nb sp\;Stones\, which focused on the relationship between individuals and pla ce in Ballymun. Where \;Stones \;honed in on one community\, \ ;Nach Cuma? \;expands to hold space across multiple sites\, bringing p eople into slow\, honest conversations about difficult truths and lived re alities. Through a dialogical process and workshops within The LAB Gallery \, the exhibition becomes a platform for intergenerational dialogue and re flection. Rejecting tokenism and reactionary politics\, the work seeks ins tead to centre care and asks: who provides it\, who receives it\, and what happens when it is absent? Through visual\, social\, and dialogic forms\, Nach Cuma? offers not conclusions but a methodology: one of listening\, r eflection\, and accountability.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition will open on \;T hursday 21st August: 6pm - 8pm \;\n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be opened by Willa White.\n\n\n\nAaron Sunderland Carey is a Dublin-based socially engaged artist and youth worker working across community spaces\, youth cl ubs\, and both informal and formal educational settings. His work investig ates the intersections of land\, class\, masculinity\, community\, and sys temic oppression. Central to his practice is the use of long-term collabor ation\, often with marginalised groups\, to foster spaces for difficult\, necessary conversations. At the core of this long-term practice is over th ree years of collaboration with Rialto Youth Project and a life spent in B allymun making art and working with the community of Ballymun. Aaron’s w ork is grounded in ethics of care and accountability and is influenced by his hometown of Ballymun. He employs methods rooted in listening\, reflect ion\, and mutual learning—facilitating workshops that prioritise communi ty voice and agency. He has worked extensively in areas such as Ballymun a nd Rialto\, developing partnerships with youth projects\, community organi sations and local schools.\n\n\n\nAaron has participated in numerous socia lly engaged residencies and projects\, including Common Grounds Studio 468 \, and has collaborated with groups including Rialto Youth Project\, Poppi ntree youth project\, The Axis Ballymun and The LAB Gallery. His practice sits between visual art\, storytelling\, and social action—always aiming to make space for storytelling and transformation.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-2.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:The LAB\, 1 Foley St \, Dublin 1\, D01 WA07\, Ireland GEO:53.352794;-6.249293 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1 Foley St \, Dublin 1\, D0 1 WA07\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The LAB:geo:53.352794,-6.24929 3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:352@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250821T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250914T170000 DTSTAMP:20250815T095711Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/the-fresh-to-the-salt-angie-shanahan-b ridget-flannery-at-custom-house-studios-gallery SUMMARY:The Fresh to the Salt | Angie Shanahan &\; Bridget Flannery at C ustom House Studios + Gallery DESCRIPTION:The Fresh to the Salt is a two-person exhibition by visual arti sts Angie Shanahan &\; Bridget Flannery (posthumously 1959 – 2024) wh ich will be shown in the main gallery space.

The exhib ition will run in the lower and upper galleries from Tuesday\, 26th August \, to Wednesday\, 1st October\, 2025.\n\nMarianne Keating is a London-base d Irish artist and researcher whose practice examines intersecting and ove rlooked narratives of Irish emigration to the Caribbean\, particularly Jam aica\, where the Irish were recruited as a new labour force after the abol ition of enslavement. Keating’s multidisciplinary film installations com bine a range of archival materials\, found footage\, newly shot footage\, text\, and sound.\n\nAn Ciúnas / The Silence traces multiple trajectories of migration from Ireland to both Jamaica and Britain from the period pre ceding the Great Famine of 1845–52 to the present day. It identifies cat alytic moments in the history of the British Empire through the lenses of Ireland and Jamaica to illuminate how events from the past inform current politics and society. The work establishes a radical account of Ireland’ s and Jamaica’s fights for self-determination\, the social conditions of Ireland in the nineteenth century and today\, the evolution of the Jamaic an political system\, and the power structures at play in both countries b efore and after independence.\n\nAn Ciúnas / The Silence is presented as a multichannel film installation and collages a myriad of moving and still images (often manipulated)\, either drawn from or referencing public reco rds\, online videos and photographs\, and newspaper articles. The montage of fragmentary episodes moves back and forth in time and incorporates vari ous creative modes\, including textual graphics and audio effects. The ove rlaying of information\, visuals\, and sonic outputs amplifies the depicte d perspectives\, and the work’s presentation as a continuous loop underm ines typical storytelling and the notion of a single official\, dominant n arrative.\n\nAn Ciúnas / The Silence was initially presented by The Showr oom\, London\, in 2023-24. The Irish tour of the work is initiated and org anised by Sirius Arts Centre\, Cobh\, County Cork\, and includes The Model in Sligo\, Rua Red in Dublin\, Limerick City Gallery of Art\, and Wexford Arts Centre. The production of An Ciúnas / The Silence and its Irish tou r are supported by The Arts Council.\n\nThe presentation of An Ciúnas / T he Silence is curated by Miguel Amado\, Director of Sirius Arts Centre\, a nd the tour is managed by producer Rayne Booth.

She aims to create cycles of taking \, giving and sharing through her work. Her graduate work\, “did you kno w gold comes from the stars” emerges from research on the socio-politica l conditions of extraction and land. Speaking to the heavy contrasts prese nt between the timescales of the landscape and human productivity\, harsh and soft materials\, and fast and slow processes\, are used.\nAcidity of t he soil\, field recordings\, casts of her Dad’s fingers and reclaimed me tal are some of the things implemented-drawing out a conversation around r upture\, time\, wealth distribution and social impact.\nNina Fitzgerald Gr aham is a multi-disciplinary artist recently graduated from Sculpture and Expanded Practice in NCAD. Her practice is firmly rooted in Dublin's North Inner City\, exploring community formation and alienation\, and our sensi tivities to the stranger - human and non-human.\nShe employs a multisensor y approach in art-making\, to create embodied experience of these seemingl y intangible issues. She has an experimental approach to material and medi um\, working across sculpture\, interactive installation and performance a rt\, as well as food-art as a form of interactive sculpture and socially e ngaged practice. Her work has been presented at a variety of interdiscipli nary showcases\, such as Alternating Currents at the Complex\, EVA Interna tional Biennial and OpenEar Festival. Her work is socially and environment ally engaged\, produced in tandem with her activities as a community organ iser\, and DIY/grassroots collaborator.\nMica Moroney is an artist from Du blin and a recent graduate of Sculpture at NCAD. Working across photograph y\, video\, sculpture\, and installation\, her practice explores the inter section of the poetic and the political. She is interested in the physical traces left by time\, neglect\, and regeneration\, and how these processe s mirror broader social and environmental tensions. Drawing from nature\, urban environments and the urgency of our political moment\, she feels a r esponsibility as an artist to reflect these concerns in her work.\nMuine B heag Arts is pleased to present COMMUNE from 15th - 25th August 2025.

Higgins\, “Padraic Reaney ’s work recalls the promise and the threat of the paradox that forms the root of all culture. We are as physical beings finite but gifted or curse d with infinite imagination. The attempt at resolution of the paradox has given us art and artists.\n\n\n\nPadraic Reaney is a prolific practitioner and has been since the start of his artistic career. His back catalogue i s immense and An Gailearaí is both happy and honoured to show a selection of his oeuvre. Padriac’s practice encompasses painting\, printing and s culpture and is a truly adept draughtsman.\n\n\n\nBorn in Cheathrú Rua\, Co Galway in 1952\, Padraic studied Fine Art at the Galway Regional Techni cal College\, where he was taught by sculptor Oisín Kelly\, and has exhib ited continuously since the 1970’s. He has exhibited extensively in Irel and\, Scotland and Wales and his work is in numerous public and private co llections. In 2020 Padraic was invited to represent Ireland at the Interco ntinental Art Exhibitions “United Nations-symbol of life\, freedom and h appiness”\, a celebratory exhibition to mark 75 th Anniversary of the UN .\n\n\n\nPadraic Reaney has been an active participant within the artistic activities around county Galway\; he sat on the board on the Galway Arts Centre 1996 – 99\, he was a founder member of Western Artists Island Con nection and the Drimcong Press\, he was awarded the Pádraic Mac Con Midhe Prize at the Oireachtas 1979\, The Galway Arts Centre presented a mid-car eer retrospective 1973 – 1993 that toured to six counties\, he exhibited a series of photographs based on this work of the ruined cottages in Ros an Mhíl (1979-1983) at the Galway City Museum\, July-October 2008.\n\n\n\ nPadraic Reaney’s sculptures exist equally as strong along side his pain tings and graphics and are held in many public and private collections. He has completed numerous public commissions\, notably the Liam Ó Flaherty Commemorative Garden on Inis Mór which he designed as well as the bronze sculpture therein. In 2007 he completed the ‘Diarmaid and Grainne’ bro nze piece for Lawrencetown commissioned by Galway County Council and also in 2007 he designed the Paddy Ryan Memorial Medal.

Kennedy’s family roots. A year later\, he moved to Ireland with his own family and stayed until his sudden passing in 1985. During that ti me\, he captured everyday life with his family and the conflict in Norther n Ireland\, known as the Troubles.\n\n\n\nOkamura’s photographs have rar ely been seen before\, and show a unique artistic view of Ireland at this time. What makes his work stand out is that he chose to make Ireland his h ome. Among all the international photographers working at that time\, Okam ura stood out for his commitment to the history of Ireland and Northern Ir eland.\n\n\n\nSince he became so closely connected to what he was photogra phing\, Okamura created innovative images in both his own style and how th e Troubles were shown through photography. His profound\, personal relatio nship with Ireland allowed him to develop a new method of documenting conf lict: poetic and ethereal moments of peace in a time of war.\n\n\n\nAkihik o Okamura: The Memories of Others is now open in Art Gallery 4\, Ulster Mu seum.

It serves to amplify the physicality of hi s feat\, the ability to hold sinew and bone in time and freeze imperceptib ly. But this is only noticeable in the wings\, from where she draws him. B eyond the stage\, the interruption of energy\, of flow\, appears to change nothing but\, in fact\, changes everything about the energy field. With t he muscular elegance of the gymnast or the pervasive creep of a musical sc ore\, the slight shift in mood silently alters the parameters of what’s performatively possible.’\n\n\n\n‘Interconnectedness\, at the molecula r level\, is the driver of Cotter’s sculptural enquiry\; manifesting mom ents of “imperfect geometry” at the core of where things\, beings\, id eas and environments meet. Whether daring to ‘draw’ this massively in metal\, manufacture it through the placement of pre-existing materials\, o r orchestrate the essential bits in between\, any sense of artistic coerci on is only ever\, and oh so lightly\, custodial\, however hands-on the pro cess. Each fixing\, inscribed section\, loop of archi-graphic script\, is allowed to speak with its own energy as part of a quietly insistent ensemb le cast\, leading us beyond the need for meaning and on towards a collecti ve sense of being in the thick of it – soaring\, spiralling\, feeling th at all things seem to touch so they are.'\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Highlanes Gallery\, St Laurence St\, Drogheda\, Drogheda\, Co.

The exhibition will open with remarks by artist and musician Ca th Taylor and music by singer songwriter Mick Brown. The gallery will be o pen daily from 11am until 5pm through Sunday\, September 7th.\nIn this new work\, artist Darryl Vance continues his exploration of the transformativ e qualities of paint. Developing his process over the past eight years\, V ance has arrived at works of increasing complexity\, bold colour and uneas y coherence. Juxtaposing the classic modernism of Mondrian\, Paul Klee and Frank Lloyd Wright with the aesthetics of funk and the handmade\, his geo metry is surprisingly warm\, inviting and sensual. His work appears initia lly comforting\, yet on closer viewing subtle tensions emerge.\n\n“I’v e been using this method of painting – slicing up cardboard moving boxes into rectangles and then painting and arranging them – as a way to imag ine the notion of dramatic change and to channel it into something unexpec ted\,” Vance explains. “`It became a way of using painting without mak ing a picture of something\, which is kind of funny considering the new se ries I’m doing.”\n\nOver the past few years\, as he became settled in the village of Kinvara\, Vance began to look at his place in it. “So man y things came to mind. The land and the things on it – livestock\, boats \, buildings in all states of ruin\, walls\, hedges – compelled me to pa int a sort of 'thank you’ note to it all.” he says.\n\nLast year he ca me upon an idea for a different tool to paint with: rushes. "I’d learned to make Brigid’s crosses with them\, and it got me thinking that they w ere an apt tool to use in painting about this place.” Vance would later find out they’re quite versatile\, and depending on how many you use\, t he strokes can be broad as a broom or needle thin. He continues\, “I use them to add paint and also add texture\, making a subtle surface of marks and patterns that recall the ancient and the prehistoric.”\n\nCombining those wild Irish weeds with the usual brushes and palette knives lets Van ce continue the nervous energy of his geometric paintings. His new series depicts more familiar aspects of the world through the artist's idiosyncra tic vision. A cow stands in a boat\, a Flake bar in its back. A sunken boa t creates a small bowl of calm water. A herd of painted rocks. A broken ne cklace.\n\n“The subjects all seem to have a peculiar narrative in common : that something has happened to them.”\n\nTogether with his painted car dboard sculptures - “house-shaped paintings” as Vance calls them - the exhibition's trio of simultaneous series embodies the work of an endlessl y inquisitive creativity.\n\nDarryl Vance (American-Irish\, b.1954) is a v isual artist living in Kinvara\, County Galway. His work is shown and coll ected internationally\, most recently selected for Ballinglen Art Museum ’s Biennial. Other juried shows include Linenhall Arts Centre in Castleb ar (2023)\, Art Fair in Waterford (2021)\, The Courthouse in Ennistymon (2 019)\, and The Westport Music + Arts Festival (2018 and 2019). Recent solo exhibitions include The Galway Fringe Festival (2020)\, A Space Gallery ( 2020) and KAVA (2017\, 2019 and 2023). He was awarded a BFA from The Atlan ta College of Art and has worked in photography\, video\, public media\, p erformance\, conceptual art and painting.\n\nCath Taylor is a multidiscipl inary artist and musician.\n\nMick Brown is a Galway-based singer\, songwr iter\, folk musician and community music facilitator.

The exhibition will run from 29 August to 26 October. Bíodh Orm Anocht\, roughly translating to 'be with me tonight'\, is a gro up exhibition featuring new and existing artworks by four artists – Seá n Hannan\, Laura Ní Fhlaibhín\, Ciarán Ó Dochartaigh\, and Kiera O'Too le – presented at Ormston House and off-site locations. While the contri butors work across media and processes\, they are unified by a preoccupati on with customs and practices that can broadly be described as folk knowle dge. These methods and intuitive systems challenge technorational systems of thought.\n\n\n\nThese four artists convey knowledge that transcends lan guage and which is all the more potent because it remains unwritten and un spoken. Each artist is concerned with the metaphorical qualities of materi als. They draw from disciplines outside the visual arts (including mytholo gy\, zoology\, and cartography)\, infusing them with personal meaning. Inh erent in these works is the possibility that atavistic wisdom may be sourc ed from the natural world.\n\n\n\nSeán Hannan's work explores how forgott en voices and rituals can echo into the future\, both through unstable tec hnologies and systems of collaboration. Using archival fragments from auto biographical memories referring to Irish traditions\, Hannan's artworks re flect obsolescence and poetic instability. Received at the Graveyard is a sonic installation revolving around an evolving voice AI (artificial intel ligence). At its core lies a handful of field recordings made in Ireland i n the 1950s that captured the final traces of a near-extinct tradition\, k eening (caoineadh). Another work featured in this exhibition is LUCK (2022 )\, a sculpture in the form of a piseóg (pish-ohg): folk witchcraft. Main ly a phenomenon of rural Ireland\, piseógs were cast as an act of malice\ , often using a chicken egg onto which a curse had been placed.\n\n\n\nIn contrast\, Laura Ní Fhlaibhín employs materials which have traditionally been connected with healing and nourishment. Sifting stories and traces a ssociated with site\, memory\, and the casting of spells\, Ní Fhlaibhín creates complex but delicate sculptural scenarios. She frequently introduc es living beings into white cube environments that are typically purposed for the display of inanimate objects. While previous artworks have involve d earthworms\, leopard slugs\, and willow trees\, the family of sculptural assemblages presented here are made from chunks of mineral salt and ash w ood. The creation of these sculptures has involved the co-authorship of ho rses\, who have licked the salt crystals into biomorphic forms. The ash tr ee is sacred in Irish mythology and is seen as possessing talismanic power .\n\n\n\nThe equine kingdom is also referred to in the cosmological work o f Ciarán Ó Dochartaigh. His Speculative massage tools for a family of Do nkeys (2022) incorporates massage tools for these domesticated creatures. Other works by Ó Dochartaigh presented at Ormston House include a renderi ng in glazed ceramics of the artist's late father's stomach. A stacked edi tion of printed drawings link the ecological decline of fish species with medical modifications of the human body\, Irish history\, and the legacies of British colonialism.\n\n\n\nPreparation for this project has entailed site visits and open-ended fieldwork across graveyards\, the River Shannon \, fish shops\, and city streets. This is best exemplified in the work of Kiera O'Toole\, whose practice involves derivés of everyday public spaces \, in this case Limerick city centre. Through drawing in-situ\, O'Toole re cords the subtle energies of these locations (which she describes as spati alised emotions) and translates her pre-reflective\, sensory encounters in to topographical maps and charts that she describes as 'affective cartogra phies'.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition takes its name from a traditional Irish song first transcribed by the Irish Folklore Commission in 1936. The song is e ssentially a piece of mouth music or lilting in which melody and rhythm ta ke precedence over lyrical content. Before being preserved via the written word\, 'Bíodh Orm Anocht' was conveyed orally down through generations a nd was therefore altered over time. In the few recordings that are availab le (such as Mick Hanly and Micheál O Domhnaill's 1974 album Celtic Folkwe ave)\, the singer's words hover between possibilities of lyrical meaning\, pitch\, and rhythm. In this way\, the song is a vehicle for forms of expr ession that transcend time and language and which are an outcome of commun al rather than individual authorship.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is accompanie d by a programme of events:\n\n\n\n-On Saturday\, 30 August from 12–1pm\ , Seán Hannan will join us for an artist talk and a wireless broadcast of Received at the Graveyeard. Meet at Ormston House\, followed by a five-mi nute walk to St. Michael's Graveyard.

All are welcome!\n\nThe Earth\, locus of growth and renewal\, is the in spiration behind this new body of oil paintings on canvas and on wood by D eirdre Frost.\n\nThe works consider rootedness and displacement\, alongsid e the innate instinct in all living things to grow\, to thrive\, to flouri sh\, to reach upward. The paintings attempt to capture the experience of l iving in this world – a fragmented\, complicated place of growth and col lapse\, influenced by a multitude of opaque and complex human agendas. Bui ldings\, split open under construction or under dereliction\, reverberate of our time of great need for safe homes globally. A space to thrive\; a w orld where the plants and soil itself is under pressure due to excess huma n activity.\n\nVignettes depict scenes of captured beauty and simplicity\, much like an endeavour to simplify and structure our lives and desires\, while the box like structures that contain these snapshots split and crack . Oil painting on canvas rooted on the floor draws the viewer in to its da rk vortex as prickly plants reach from the depths\, a visceral reminder of what is beneath our feet. Sea thrift drifting through a triptych give a s ense a floating free\, uprooted\, adrift and floating like seeds through t he air while soft bog cotton blows above collapsed slabs on a shore.\n\nIn line with works such as Samantha Harvey’s novel Orbital\, which present s our blue world spinning serenely through black space as we live out our small and larger dramas\, this body of work flips our perspective. Created from the ground\, and drawing on local imagery of the natural and built e nvironments\, these paintings unfold against the constant bombardment and diversion of news and social media. Within them are traces of global fract uring and collapse\, through which plants continue to reach toward the air .\n\nDeirdre Frost is a Cork-based visual artist\, working from Backwater Artist Studios\, and is represented by Kevin Kavanagh\, Dublin.\n\nHer sol o exhibitions include Tumbling Earth (2025) at Kevin Kavanagh\, Dublin\; B ig Crush (2023) at Kilkenny Arts Festival\; In Habitat\, In Transition (20 21) at Studio 12\, Backwater Artists Group\, and St Luke’s Crypt\, Sampl e Studios\; Claochló (2021) at Joan Clancy Gallery\, Waterford\; and Biop hilia (2021)\, part of the Lavit Gallery Student of the Year Exhibition\, Cork.

It takes place at the Casino Marino\, Cherrymount Cresc ent\, Marino\, Dublin 3\, D03 HH70.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is open everyday from 10.00am to 5.00pm and admission to the exhibition is free.\n\n\n\nAb out the ArtistEithne Jordan is one of Ireland’s pre-eminent painters. In this exhibition\, Jordan has turned her artistic gaze to the interiors of public and private spaces\, such as museums and institutional buildings\, which she has visited on her travels in Ireland\, France\, Italy\, Switze rland and the United States. Jordan explores the way paintings\, sculpture s and artefacts are displayed in these spaces. She creates paintings that are\, in her words\, ‘emotional landscapes’. Jordan is drawn to exhibi ting in unusual spaces where her work can interact with their surroundings as in this exhibition at the Casino Marino. Her paintings reflect her end uring interest in architecture and the interplay that can happen between h er paintings and their environment\, whether a modernist space or a histor ic building.\n\n\n\nThe resonance of this new body of work – most from t he last five years – displayed in the rooms of the Casino creates the ‘echo’ of an ongoing conversation with the eighteenth century\, which is why the artist chose this as the exhibition title. Eithne Jordan grew u p in Clontarf\, not far from the Casino. She states\, ‘The Casino has an air of grandeur but it also has that sense of intimacy in the beauty of i ts proportions. It is one of the things that I love about it.’\n\n\n\nFu nded by the OPW and Dublin City Arts Office with the support of the Arts C ouncil.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:433@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250901T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250914T170000 DTSTAMP:20250829T090052Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/moments-of-joy-heather-flynn-at-signal -arts-centre SUMMARY:Moments of Joy | Heather Flynn at Signal Arts Centre DESCRIPTION:Signal Arts Centre is thrilled to present Moments of Joy\, the debut solo exhibition of Wicklow-based painter Heather Flynn\, running fro m September 1 to 14\, 2025.\nThe exhibition will officially open with a re ception on Friday\, September 5\, from 7–9pm\, and all are warmly invite d to join this special celebration of art\, colour\, and community.\nAlrea dy well-known to the Signal Arts Centre family as Communications Officer\, Heather has long championed the creativity of others. Now\, stepping into the spotlight herself\, she shares her own artistic voice in this much-an ticipated first solo show.\nHeather’s oil paintings are inspired by the wild beauty of Wicklow’s landscapes\, where sea\, sky\, and earth merge in endless transformation. Her expressive brushwork\, bold use of colour\, and layered textures capture the fleeting rhythms of nature — from the hush of dawn to the glow of evening. Striking a vibrant balance between ab straction and landscape\, her work invites viewers to lose themselves in c olour\, memory\, and atmosphere.\nMoments of Joy is more than a collection of paintings\; it is an invitation to pause\, to reflect\, and to celebra te the radiance of everyday beauty. Heather’s art is filled with movemen t\, emotion\, and a sense of wonder — a vivid reminder of how nature and creativity connect us all.

Tomasko’s vital\, gesturally abstra ct works unfold as painterly topographies of the unconscious\, reflecting on inner states and spatial experience.

Her work includes an invaluable chronicle of Northe rn Ireland’s recent political history.\n\nAfter graduating in Fine Art f rom the Ulster College of Art and Design in 1974\, Harkin worked as an art teacher and community worker in socially deprived areas of Derry. She joi ned Field Day Theatre Company in 1980 as an Assistant Stage Manager on Bri an Friel’s Translations\, before going on to work as a stage designer fo r the company.\n\nIn 1984\, Harkin co-founded Derry Film &\; Video Work shop with Anne Crilly and Trisha Ziff delivering critical perspectives tha t ran counter to the censored narratives then broadcast by British and Iri sh television. The signal works of this period were Mother Ireland (1988)\ , Anne Crilly’s controversial documentary about feminism and Irish repub licanism\, and Harkin’s own Hush-A-Bye Baby (1990)\, a feature drama abo ut teenage pregnancy following the 1983 abortion referendum in Ireland.\n\ nHarkin established Besom Productions in 1992 making educational films for Channel 4 but her reputation as an astute\, local documentarian of injust ices was soon forged through a series of highly regarded television docume ntaries. Her cinema films\, the surf documentary Waveriders (2003)\, by Jo el Conroy (which she produced)\, and Stolen (2023)\, about the plight of u nmarried mothers in Ireland in the 20th century\, provided thoroughly rese arched\, compelling accounts of their subjects.\n\nMargo Harkin is a membe r of Aosdána. Her work has won countless awards and is widely taught to t hird-level film and media students.\n\nSpanning over four decades\, Harkin ’s work has consistently challenged societal narratives\, giving voice t o the silenced and bearing witness to the social and political upheavals t hat have shaped the contemporary Irish landscape. This retrospective will span across the IFI’s cinema screens\, as well as online via IFI@Home\, IFI International and the IFI Archive Player.\n\nIFI DIGITAL PLATFORMS\n\n A selection of Margo Harkin’s films are available to rent for Irish audi ences on IFI@Home and for international audiences on IFI International.

Art is often considered a luxury and is one of th e first things cast aside when times are tough. We\, however\, believe tha t a world without art is one not worth living in and so we will continue t o promote and encourage young talent – indeed\, all talent - where and w hen we can.\n\nWe hope that you too will join us in giving a helping hand to these new fledgling artists and\, who knows\, in years to come\, you ma y have a valuable masterpiece that will fetch a fortune at auction! But ev en if it has no future monetary value\, think of the years of pleasure you will derive from a unique\, original artwork.\n\nDr Ann McVeigh\, co-owne r of ArtisAnn\, says:\n\n‘The ArtisAnn Gallery believes in offering enco uragement to young and emerging artists and is confident that these are st ars of the future. The artwork produced by these newcomers is remarkable b oth for its technical ability and breadth of new ideas. This is a very var ied show\, with two common linkages: all are recent graduates and all are of the highest quality\, with every indication that they will be ‘names ’ of the future.’\n\nAll Welcome and No Booking Necessary\nAdmission i s free.\nAll artworks are available to buy.\nYou can also buy art from thi s exhibition through the Own Art scheme which gives you an interest-free l oan over 10 months (and you still get to take the art home immediately the exhibition ends).

I nspired by Michael Clark\, whose practice fused ballet\, punk\, fashion\, queer nightlife\, Sassanelli reflects on how early encounters with skill\, collaboration\, and friendship shaped their approach to dance and curator ial work.\n\n\n\nThey situate their beginnings in resourceful\, collective experimentation\, working closely with artists on commissions\, workshops \, and live performances. At the ICA (2019–2024)\, Sassanelli re-establi shed the experimental dance programme\, developing hybrid formats that blu rred boundaries between performance\, exhibition\, rave\, and live music. Projects included commissions with choreographer Eve Stainton (Dykegeist\, IMPACT DRIVER) and large-scale all-night events that expanded conventiona l performance frameworks.\n\n\n\nLast year Sara founded Alice Agency with Jared Davis\, producing international projects that support experimental d ancers and musicians. As a producer and curator they work with artists inc luding Eve Stainton\, Billy Bultheel\, Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome\, Jack Hoga n and Florence Sinclair.\n\n\n\nThrough their work\, Sassanelli examines h ow curating and producing can create conditions for liveness and experimen tation\, even amid diminishing institutional support.

It’s a nuanced space where values\, habits\, and systems intersect.\n\nThis cross-disciplinary panel explores how artists\, galleries and art institutions communicate their efforts in ways that are honest\, hopeful\, and engaging. A view of the behind-the-sc enes decisions that institutions employ\, with the aim of supporting susta inable exhibition-making\, artistic practices and choices\, and leading-by -example strategies. Whether the art is transdisciplinary\, embedded in so cial action and deeply rooted in natural ecology\, or sustainability is an underlying concern in an artist's practice (or in an art programme)\, the re’s value in making the invisible work visible.\n\nHow do we give space to small actions and highlight the relevance of what often goes unseen? H ow do we communicate this work in ways that resonate with others? And how can we do all of this without leaning on narratives of doom while remainin g factual? Beyond Words: Communicating sustainability is about language an d strategies that are hopeful and grounded. It’s about exploring approac hes to communicating the quiet labour of care\, the strength of collective effort\, and the possibility of change toward a sustainable art ecosystem .\n\nWe invite the wider community and communities of interest to join us in this open conversation\, and share their insights and perspectives. Tim e is set before and after the talk to gather informally. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts and experience in a relaxed exchange\, blurring the usual roles of panellist and audience.\ n\nBiographies\n\nLisa Fitzsimons is the Strategy and Sustainability Lead at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA)\, where she leads the implementat ion of IMMA’s five-year strategy and produces Earth Rising\, an annual f estival exploring the intersection of contemporary art\, ecological innova tion\, and community resilience.\nWith a background in brand and communica tions leadership across cultural\, corporate\, and non-profit sectors\, sh e is passionate about using storytelling to deepen understanding\, shift m indsets\, and inspire action.

Nestled in exercise copies\, between thousands of stories detailed in meticulous handwriting\, lie tales of metamorphosis a nd binary-blurring. Hares become milk-hungry witches\, needy children are turned to stone\, gooseberries transform sore eyes\, tadpoles swirl in bog gy bellies.\n\nSiúnta\, taking its name from the Irish for a seam or join t\, uses these instances of metamorphosis as departure points to wriggle f urther into absurd and imaginary realms. These archives show that in an ea rlier Irish imaginary world\, the boundaries that separate us from nature and other entities were not so separate and fixed\, but porous and blurred .\n\nEveryone is welcome to join us at the launch of Siúnta on Saturday 1 3th September at 2pm!

I n Blake's paintings\, colour is deployed to follow a given order and yet t hese are paintings of nature ….. not the rigid order of an urban moderni sm\, but the texture and rhythms\, and immediacy of life unfolding".As wel l four solo exhibitions at the Molesworth Gallery\, Blake has shown at the RHA in FUTURES (2014)\, FUTURES Anthology (2015) and as part of 'In and o f itself - Abstraction in the age of images' (2022).

Though their subject matter diverge\, Gannon focusing on threatened sea and land fores ts\, and Gunning on abandoned rural buildings\, both artists present space s deeply rooted in history\, memory\, and transformation.\n\nGannon’s mi xed media works offer a contemplative response to the vulnerable ecosystem s of Irish oak woodlands and oceanic seaweed forests. Her work highlights the quiet beauty of these habitats while underscoring their fragility in t he face of human impact and climate change. In parallel\, Gunning’s pain tings of derelict structures evoke the echoes of lives once lived\, shaped by waves of emigration\, economic hardship\, and rural decline. His work captures not only the starkness of abandonment but also the enduring beaut y and significance of these spaces.\n\nTogether\, their practices undersco re a shared concern for the erosion of place\, whether ecological or cultu ral\, and reflect on how such environments\, though worn and weathered\, c ontinue to act as living repositories of memory\, identity\, and resilienc e.\n\n“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself\, ‘What if I had n ever seen this before?

Isabel’s work utilises the mediums of photography\, textile and sculpture\, to exte nd from the literary genre of autofiction\, which combines autobiographica l truths with fictionalised renderings\, to create contextually sensitive installations. \nIn 'first-person'\, Isabel uses images of b odily anatomy\, taken from A Manual of Artistic Anatomy by John C.L. Spark es (London: Bailliere\, Tindall and Cox\, 1888) as a source for the work. These images have been spliced and rendered beyond recognition and present ed to the viewer as enlarged scans on assorted sheets of acetate. These ac tions are reflected in a number of wall based sculptural pieces made from disposable patterned aluminium plating\, replicating the composition of ho neycomb cardboard\, generally used as protective packaging in the shipment and transportation of goods. These processes of repetition\, which underl ine much of English’s practice\, refers to the psychological concept of Repetition Compulsion\, as underlined by Freud in his essay ‘Beyond the Pleasure Principle’ first published in German in 1920\, as an unconsciou s tendency to repeat patterns of behaviour. \n\nThe exhibition will be acc ompanied by a publication produced by Isabel in which Cork based arts writ er Sarah Long\, and poet Julie Morrisey have written about Isabel’s work .\nIsabel was awarded the inaugural Emerging Visual Artist Award from Cork County Council in 2024.

It considers the idea of Utopia and exami nes the pursuit of this imagined\, impossible and aspirational state from a range of perspectives. The artworks in the exhibition oscillate between escapism and activism\, fantasy and instruction for creating an alternativ e\, better world.\n\nSighle Bhreathnach-Cashell and Bassam Issa al-Sabah h ave each made a new series of prints directing us into dense\, imagined wo rlds\, created from a personal lexicon of symbols drawn from the artists ’ history\, experience and critical response to the humanitarian\, socia l and ecological issues pervading contemporary life.\n\nAl-Sabah’s monoc hromatic prints\, made during his Process Residency at Black Church Studio s\, evoke imagery from his moving image works and installations\, where su blime\, seductive digital landscapes offer speculative worlds in which dys topian and utopian scenarios meet and intersect. Bhreathnach-Cashell\, kno wn for her immersive installations and activist work has created a new ser ies of aquatint etchings\, ‘Ulster Cycles’. The work translates years of the artist’s unseen drawings and depict mimetic figures using Celtic\ , biological and architectural imagery\, conjuring contemporary fables and cautionary tales.\n\nFor Grace Ryan and Chloe Brenan\, two studio members at Black Church Print Studio\, the invitation to think about Utopian idea ls led them to a close examination of the natural world. Ryan will create a sculptural composition in the gallery based on Ikebana—the ancient Jap anese art of flower arrangement rooted in balance\, asymmetry\, and the ha rmony between humans and nature.\n\nChloe Brenan’s current work is focus ed on the microcosm of an orchard in Carlow that is located beside her fam ily home. Originally created as a colonial project to order and control th e land\, the orchard is now overgrown\, the traces of colonial past are mu ted by the unabetted growth of weeds and shrubs over decades. The artist h as used Super 8 photography to mark the process of observing the orchard a nd acknowledging the small changes and diversity of plant life as dictated by time\, climate and chance. Brenan’s work in this exhibition represen ts the first and last frames of a roll of film on which she photographed t he orchard\, the edges of which are singed\, capturing the moment that an image is simultaneously created and extinguished.\n\nBlack Church Print St udio member Aisling Conroy continues her exploration of sound and cymatics \, the study of vibrational phenomena. This new work comprises a grid of 4 0 prints representing the 40 Chladni plates\, a methodology developed by E rnst Chladni in 1787 as a visual manifestation of sound vibrations\, looki ng at the patterns produced by sounds on flat plates made by a bow. The wo rk offers an invitation to think about the invisible forces that shape our reality and consider the possibilities of new languages and systems for u nderstanding and grappling with the unknown.\n\nSoft Fiction Projects (Ale ssia Cargnelli and Emily McFarland) are an initiative that produce printed and digital matter to explore archives of underrepresented voices\, oppos itional histories and geopolitical narratives. For the exhibition they hav e produced a free print that can be taken by visitors. The print is based on Women’s News\, a Belfast collective-run publication active between 19 84 and 2011\, who used the medium of print matter as a method for generati ng common ground\, sharing experiences and encouraging community building. This leaflet uses DIY approaches to archival material\, collected from Ma yDay Rooms\, as a way to reimagine and revisit this history.\n\nExhibition continues until Saturday 27 September 2025.\nOpening hours: Mon – Fri 1 1 am – 6 pm\, Sat 12 – 6 pm.\nLate Opening for Culture Night: Fri 20 S ept. 2025.

One of the three exhibiting artists will be invit ed to present their first international solo exhibition at SPG Lake Galler y in Spring 2026.\n\n\n\nKathy Tynan’s paintings of familiar cityscapes and domestic scenes illuminate moments of affection\, intimacy and curiosi ty. Rather than focussing her gaze on monumental landmarks\, Tynan instead attributes value to that which is otherwise overlooked. Her semi-autobiog raphical subjects include her own family and friends but speak more broadl y to shared enthusiasms\, experiences of care\, community\, and relationsh ips. Kathy Tynan was born and works in Dublin.

Halsall and Quirke hav e curated a selection of work that explores the different numerical\, geom etrical and methodical systems that can be used to make art. They have fou nd artists who both explore the potential of the infinite and unbounded (A perion) whilst acknowledging they will always be bound by limits (Peras). The resulting work reveals approaches that are mathematical and rational\, fictional and personal whilst exploring the deep creativity of systems ma de by humans and other agents.\n\n\n\nGerard Caris (Nederlands) devoted hi s arts practice to endless applications of what he termed pentagonism in d rawing\, print and sculpture.\n\n\n\nChanna Horwitz’s (US) extraordinary system of notation\, Sonakinatography embeds colour\, sound and motion in to unparalleled logic scores. Working methodically on common US graph pape r with eight squares to the inch\, Horwitz’s Sonakinatography allows the artist to “see time visually”\, and create a universal notational lan guage for creative interpretation.\n\n\n\nRoy Johnston’s (NI) work of th e late sixties to early eighties\, employs rigorous Pythagorean rationalis m and colour permutation both in sculptural form and 2D relief. Neil Cleme nts (NI/Scotland) sets the year 1968 as a control method in deference to J ohnston’s “Systems”. Facsimiles of abstract paintings characterised as peripheral to central art historical narratives are recreated by the ar tist in tread plate. Ronnie Hughes (IRE) memetic paintings thwart mathemat ical exactitudes through symmetrical slippages that optically and somatica lly perplex the viewer.\n\n\n\nThe grid is often referenced in Grace McMur ray’s (NI) practice as both a tool\, and framing device to the quiet\, h idden fabrication of gendered labour. McMurray uses drawing\, patchwork\, knitting\, and weaving within their work\, seeking succor in memetic\, geo metric construction of handcrafted textiles.\n\n\n\nPossible Utopian futur es are explored in both Dannielle Tegeder’s (US) and Suzanne Treister’ s (UK) practice. Tegeder summons the cosmological and the spiritual by mea ns of invented sigils within fabricated urban schematics\, whilst Treister ’s multi-planetary\, fictional persona\, and tech futurism frequently al lude to the Kabbalistic gematria and mystic systems.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Solstice Arts Centre\, Railway street\, Navan\, Meath\, Ireland GEO:53.6501997;-6.6864205 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Railway street\, Navan\, Me ath\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Solstice Arts Centre:geo:53.65019 97,-6.6864205 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:419@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250906T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20251025T170000 DTSTAMP:20251003T090303Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/family-trees-hang-over-property-lines- fiyin-oluokun-at-the-riverbank-arts-centre SUMMARY:Family Trees hang over Property Lines | Fiyin Oluokun at the Riverb ank Arts Centre DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening: Friday 5th September at 6pm\, all welcome\n \nA bent knee at a vaguely familiar stranger\nAnother known face driving a taxi\,\nAn accent switch when new friends appear\n– only to be switched once more when they leave\,\nOri on forehead\n\nThis series of collages e xplores how class and race affect how people move through the world\, the jobs taken\, spaces occupied.

The se natural forces generate a continuous stream of signals that often go un noticed\, yet they are deeply connected to our environment and health. The artworks in Signals translate these subtle oceanic rhythms into visual fo rm. From the pulse of waves to the patterns of wind\, the exhibition revea ls how the Atlantic communicates. By making the invisible visible\, Signal s invites us to reflect on how closely our lives are intertwined with the ocean's rhythms—and how tuning into these signals can deepen our underst anding of both nature and ourselves. Rather than viewing the ocean as empt y space\, Signals encourages us to see it as a living presence with storie s to tell.The exhibition also features thoughtful reflections on the ocean by Ms. Moreland’s 3rd Class at Scoil Ursula.All are welcome!\nLinda Fä hrlin is a visual artist and illustrator based in Sligo.

O’Malley\, (b. 1975\, Mayo\, Ireland) currently lives and works in Dublin and has had numerous solo exhibitions internationally\, including the Irish Pavilion at the 59t h Venice Art Biennale in 2022. Her sculptures make tangible the act of try ing: trying to grasp a certain slant of light\, to contemplate the enormit y of a landscape\, to hold moments still. This exhibition features sculptu res made of steel\, wood\, and glass\, as well as a film. In the gallery ’s Salon\, the artist presents a separate series of works made of graphi te and watercolour on panel\, which serve as a complement to (and sometime s studies for) her sculptures and their forms.\n\n\n\nO’Malley’s glass sculptures are composed of shards of glass that are cut\, wrapped in copp er foil\, and soldered together into configurations that protrude gently f rom the wall\, both casting and holding light. Glass\, with its implicit t ranslucence and fragility\, also embodies a state of solidity: a material with its own depth and colour\, it can be looked at\, as well as looked th rough. While there is a lack of surface absorption in the glass\, the pane ls stand in contrast: dark\, opaque surfaces that retain marks and memory. Each of them is embedded with the artist’s hand: scribbling\, sanding\, and moulding the edges with her fingers.\n\n\n\nA number of Shelf works a re included\, which gather many of the sculptural materials O’Malley emp loys: wood\, glass\, and metal. The shelf becomes the ground and support o f her compositions\, facilitating the careful - yet simultaneously barely tethered - arrangement of components\, eliciting both a strength and a del icate tension. Other sculptures in the exhibition include Leafs\, where lo ng\, slender steel rods protrude from hammered steel shapes\, part foliage \, part strange\, elegant weights. In Eye\, two thin sheets of raw steel a re folded into overhangs – each with cutouts that resemble soft fingers or lashes\, and each sheltering a sun of amber glass. The stark solidity o f the grey steel contrasts\, yet complements\, the fragile glow of the gla ss. The film offers viewers another kind of touch – its material enquiry bringing us back into a kinetic reality where the hand and the eye scan a nd search and seek form and solidity.\n\n\n\nWhile her practice may seem v isually diverse\, O’Malley uses a small repertoire of materials whose na ture and limitations have\, over time\, become a formative part of her art istic process. She is interested in what attracts our attention and why\; in how we move our bodies towards particular views or situations\; in how we look at\, frame\, and touch the chaos of the world. As Lizzie Lloyd not ed in her text for the Venice Biennale: “O’Malley’s objects are repl ete with edges that outline\, overlap\, and neighbour other edges. Their m eeting points accentuate buffed\, pitted\, powdered and polished surfaces over which our eye catches and slips…Hers is a material inquiry but with social and political implications built on necessary contingencies in whi ch one part depends on another.”\n\n\n\nWith many thanks to Culture Irel and for its support of this exhibition.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-3_edited-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,International LOCATION:Brigitte Mulholland\, 81 rue de Turenne \, Paris\, 75003\, Irelan d GEO:48.860177;2.364459 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=81 rue de Turenne \, Paris \, 75003\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Brigitte Mulholland:geo:48.8 60177,2.364459 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:511@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250909T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250930T170000 DTSTAMP:20250905T144756Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/ink-earth-alison-mcevoy-at-the-abbeyle ix-library SUMMARY:Ink + Earth | Alison McEvoy at the Abbeyleix Library DESCRIPTION:\nExhibition continues from the 5th of September to the 30th of September 2025Discover 'Ink + Earth\,' a month long exhibition by pen and watercolour artist\, Alison McEvoy.After a sell-out show in 2024\, Abbeyl eix Library will once again host this exhibition for September 2025.Alison uses pen\, watercolour\, chalk and oil pastel to create artwork that capt ures the natural beauty of the bog.This collection\, which marks her secon d solo exhibition\, features her favourite trees and scenic locations arou nd Abbeyleix Bog.Each piece in the collection provides an intimate glimpse into the landscapes that inspire her\, showcasing the weird and wonderful trees on the bog.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /09/thumbnail_Untitled-design-10.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:Abbeyleix Library Gallery Space\, Market Square\, Abbeyleix\, Irel and GEO:52.914952;-7.348202 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Market Square\, Abbeyleix\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Abbeyleix Library Gallery Space:geo:52 .914952,-7.348202 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:468@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250909T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20251101T180000 DTSTAMP:20251003T090610Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/formwork-mandy-oneill-at-ballina-arts- centre SUMMARY:Formwork | Mandy O'Neill at Ballina Arts Centre DESCRIPTION:Exhibition continues from the 6th of September to the 1st of No vember 2025The point of departure for this exhibition was Mandy O’Neill ’s recent practice-based PhD\, where she examined the social and materia l implications of housing development and dereliction in the Dublin inner suburb of Cabra.

At the base of these drawings the artist has placed small piles of highly polished\, irregular objects—amorphous forms that resemble great globs of mercury.\n\n\n\nThe title of the series\, The Siby ls\, references the oracular women of archaic times\, seers who lived apar t from society and were believed to channel the prophesies of the divine. In Renaissance art these figures were transformed into biblical prophetess es\, pictured holding scrolls or books\, as in Michelangelo’s majestic t urban-clad sibyls in the Sistine chapel. Maher’s Sibyls are different - rather than resting serenely in the architecture of institutional belief o r patriarchal systems of meaning\, these Sibyls are altogether more dynami c and equivocal. Their scrolls have morphed into chaotic skeins of hair\; their turbans twisted into massive living organisms that envelop\, extend from\, and consume their heads\, while their powerful bodies struggle and strain to impart their portentous message…\n\n\n\n…Culturally coded as either dangerous or shameful depending on its context\, hair becomes here a visual agent of instability. Are the Sibyls coming into being through t his dense matrix of bodily material\, or are they caught in the web of the ir own weaving? Are they rising or falling\, emerging or succumbing? The s igns are deliberately destabilising\; their meanings are as slippery and s hifting as the mysterious sculptural shapes tumbled below.'\n\n\n\nExtract from an Accompanying Text written by Dr Sarah Kelleher.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-2-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:Kevin Kavanagh\, Dublin\, Chancery Lane\, Dublin 8\, Dublin\, Dubl in\, D08 K021\, Ireland GEO:53.3412366;-6.2688024 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Chancery Lane\, Dublin 8\, Dublin\, Dublin\, D08 K021\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Kevin Kava nagh\, Dublin:geo:53.3412366,-6.2688024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:453@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250911T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250921T173000 DTSTAMP:20250905T094406Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/a-cage-called-family-andrej-getman-at- ranelagh-arts-centre SUMMARY:A Cage Called Family | Andrej Getman at Ranelagh Arts Centre DESCRIPTION:A Cage Called Family\nA Solo Exhibition by Andrej Getman\nCurat ed by Dino Notaro\n\nA raw and unflinching look at growing up queer in a h ome that doesn’t always accept you.

This substance\, Ochre\, a ferrous rock\, when ground into a powder and mixed with water\, saliva\, or urine\, creates an impre ssive substance for use on the body or other surfaces. The relationship wi th minerals began possibly 300\,000 years ago. Some of the ochres shimmere d as mica or pyrite may have been present. People travelled far and wide\, trading the potent minerals for ritual\, magic\, and storytelling purpose s. The material had meaning and was valued. ‘Ochre altered our relations hip with the earth. The dead rock underfoot yielded something miraculous\, something striking and powerful\, something that with conscious intervent ion could be transformed\, and then used itself for transformative effect. ’\n\n‘Material Acts’ condenses some of Maguire’s research into min erals\, mapping and mining and the relationship to rocks over the centurie s. In 1824\, Ireland was the first country in the world to be mapped by th e British Ordnance Survey\; the mapping of Ireland was developed to facili tate taxation and evaluate the 'Underground Potential' of geological and m aterial reserves. Mapping was done by triangulation\, by creating a series of primary triangles. Sightings were taken between stations using theodol ites and light (often moonlight) on specific Mountains. Maguire has used r eal artefacts from the field\, such as surveyors’ tripods\, Gunter's Cha ins and geological drill core boxes that once housed drill cores of riveri ne deep strata.

An avid gardener and obsessive weeder\, Gillian tended to her garden in North Leitrim by making decisions about which plants belong and deserve to self-seed and which be come a nuisance. Her approach to gardening was naturalistic and looked eff ortless\, but she was extremely dedicated to her craft.\n\n\n\nOut in the garden\, in all weather until dusk\, it became a form of therapy for her a s she suffered with a chronic and fatal illness. The garden became a sanct uary for Gillian and a source of inspiration for Laura who began researchi ng and making work about gardens in her studio practice. Poet and gardener Ross Gay describes time spent gardening as “an exercise in supreme atte ntiveness”\, a trait it shares with painting.\n\n\n\nA stop motion anima tion created using a paint on glass technique is exhibited alongside the p aintings. Each frame is hand painted\, giving it a painterly and expressiv e aesthetic. The animation illustrates a quote by the filmmaker Derek Jarm an in the book Modern Nature\, a journal of his time spent gardening in Du ngeness shortly after he discovered he was HIV positive.\n\n\n\nThe garden er digs in another time\, without past or future\, beginning or end. A tim e that does not cleave the day with rush hours\, lunch breaks\, the last b us home. As you walk in the garden you pass into this time — the moment of entering can never be remembered. Around you the landscape lies transfi gured. Here is the Amen beyond the prayer. Derek Jarman.\n\n\n\nMcMorrow i s interested in a personal exploration of the garden as a sanctuary and a space of refuge. However\, she is also questioning the complexity of garde ning in a time of climate emergency and the futile act of attempting to co ntrol and tame nature. The transition to a more ecologically friendly appr oach to gardening\, for example\, growing a wildflower meadow instead of a lawn. McMorrow embraces this duality of gardening as a form of therapy an d its disposition in the greater context of our time.\n\n\n\nLaura McMorro w is a visual artist from Leitrim. She holds a Masters in Fine art from th e University of Ulster in Belfast (2012) and she graduated with a degree i n painting from Limerick School of Art and Design (2008). Her practice inc orporates video installation\, animation\, sculpture\, collage\, and paint ing.Recent solo exhibitions include The Gardener Digs at The Dock and The Lost Acre at Leitrim Sculpture Centre. Recent community art projects inclu de a collaborative animation project with teenagers funded by Creative Ire land and a sensory mapping project with Leitrim Cycling Festival.McMorrow is part of the collective\, who run an artist-led studio and experimental space in Manorhamilton\, Leitrim. Her studio is currently based in the col lective space. In 2023\, the collective worked together on a collaborative project called Waking the Land that considered environmental grief\, supp orted by the Irish Hospice Foundation.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-2-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:RHA Gallery\, Royal Hibernian Academy\, 15 Ely Place\, Dublin 2\, Ireland GEO:53.337076;-6.254702 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royal Hibernian Academy\, 1 5 Ely Place\, Dublin 2\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=RHA Gallery:ge o:53.337076,-6.254702 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:504@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20250912 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20251027 DTSTAMP:20251003T090640Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/archipelago-group-exhibition-at-the-rh a-gallery SUMMARY:ARCHIPELAGO | Group Exhibition at the RHA Gallery DESCRIPTION:\nThe form of photographic practice has expanded in recent time s and the RHA invited artists to respond to the spatial magnitude of the l argest gallery in Ireland\, with many responding to the open spaces with i n-the-round works to create something beyond the typical photo show.

Cad Leis a Bhfuilimíd Ailíni the / To What Do We Align (2025) is a multi-channel film that reflects on Éamon de Valera’s idealised vision of Ireland\, its economic stagnation and mass emigration\, and the country’s subsequent reorientation under Seán Lemass\, as Ireland chose to align itself with Western hegemony rath er than the newly formed Non-Aligned Movement.\n\n\n\nNo Irish Need Apply (2025) examines the experience of the Irish in Britain during the 1970s an d 80s\, a period when political violence in Northern Ireland fuelled syste mic discrimination\, surveillance\, and social prejudice against Irish com munities. Together\, these works explore how Ireland has been both the sub ject of\, and complicit in\, wider histories of colonialism\, migration\, and exclusion\, revealing the contradictions at the heart of national iden tity\n\n\n\nMarianne Keating is an Irish artist and researcher based in Lo ndon.

He studi ed at the National College of Art and Design in (1978-1983) specializing i n abstract art and in 1985 he became the first Artist in Residence\, at Th e Butler Gallery\, Co. Kilkenny\, where his brightly coloured geometric ac rylic painting’s caused great interest.\n\n\n\nTansey’s unique distill ation and interpretation of Colourism gained him immediate recognition wor ldwide and particularly in Ireland. He first rose to prominence with his i nclusion in R.O.S.C. in 1988 as the youngest artist ever to have exhibited in this prestigious International Exhibition. Tansey employs a hard-edged geometric style\, using acrylic paint in a glazing technique reminiscent of a renaissance master with many layers of glazes to create vibrant colou r field paintings in a modern abstract geometric colour language\, that is his own.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Munster LOCATION:The Source Arts Centre\, The Source Arts Centre\, Cathedral Street \, Thurles\, County Tipperary\, E41 A4E8\, Ireland GEO:52.679233;-7.809519 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Source Arts Centre\, Ca thedral Street\, Thurles\, County Tipperary\, E41 A4E8\, Ireland;X-APPLE-R ADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Source Arts Centre:geo:52.679233,-7.809519 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:363@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250913T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20251031T170000 DTSTAMP:20251003T090429Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/tend-er-lorna-watkins-at-roe-valley-ar ts-and-cultural-centre SUMMARY:TEND/ER | Lorna Watkins at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Launch: Saturday 13th September at 12 noon\nBased in Sligo\, Lorna Watkins is a multi-disciplinary visual artist.

Vivienne Dick\, Adrian O’Carroll and Jill Quigley were all born in Donegal\, but this sh ow is not about Donegal – well not directly.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition featu res new and existing work that explores the residue of life in the places the artists were born and since\, through practices that eschew the touris ty imagery of this part of Ireland. These artists may be considered lens-b ased\, but this is not a photography exhibition. It is a journey through i mage making from different perspectives and using individual outputs that are playful and poignant. Each record time in a unique way.\n\n\n\nVivienn e Dick makes single and multi-screen works which combine elements of docum entary\, performance\, and fiction. A Skinny Little Man Attacked Daddy was filmed on a Betacam camera in Donegal in 1994\, documenting the daily liv es of her siblings and wider family circle. This is the first time this wo rk has been exhibited in the county. The photographs in the exhibition wer e made in recent months using a medium format camera as part of her ongoin g research into the landscape of Northwest Ireland.\n\n\n\nFor Another Tim e Undone\, Adrian O’Carroll has made a new body of work that develops hi s ongoing investigations into a world that is quiet\, dark\, isolated and fragile. He is looking at our relationship with nature and ourselves throu gh photographs that depict urban and rural landscapes\, as well as subject s close to him yet unidentifiable to the viewer. Maghera\, his largest wor k to date\, shows the view from within the cave as we gaze towards an empt y beach and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.\n\n\n\nPlayful subversion lies at t he heart of Jill Quigley’s practice\, exploring the consequences of maki ng simple creative gestures in architectural space. Working with installat ion and photography she aims to form an awkward relationship with the prac tical aspects of a site. In this exhibition she has created a new work Fra mes\, frames\, frames (wreck tangle) that references an abandoned rural co ttage on the Inishowen Peninsula through photographic and sculptural eleme nts\, as well as a section of wall reclaimed from the hallway of the prope rty.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is accompanied by a commissioned essay by Clare Gallagher.\n\n\n\nThe Regional Cultural Centre’s exhibition programme i s supported by Donegal County Council and The Arts Council of Ireland.\n\n \n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-3_edited-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Ulster – Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan LOCATION:Regional Cultural Centre\, Cove Hill\, Port Road\, \, Letterkenny \, Co.

Famously ref erred to as the Pre-Raphaelites\, a name which these artists coined for th emselves\, the group looked back to the art of the Middle Ages as an act o f resistance again the Royal Academy\, whose control over artistic product ion and education was increasingly being perceived to be unjust. Pre-Rapha elite art draws inspiration from literature and nature\, focusing on creat ing emotionally and spiritually evocative work. In this lecture\, we exami ne the innovation of artists such as John Everett Millais\, Dante Gabriel Rosetti\, and William Holman Hunt\, also exploring the impact their thinki ng had in the 19th-century Arts &\; Craft Movement and the Gothic Reviv al. Meanwhile\, in France\, another group of artists looked to the here an d now to drive change through their art. The Realists sought an innovative solution that would shed light on the social inequalities that defined mo dern life by doing something never done before: depicting working class li fe as it really was. In this way\, Gustave Courbet\, Jean François Millet \, and others became artist-activists driving change through painting ordi nary working people for the first time in the history of art.\n\n1.

His bold use of colour an d sharp\, angular figures became synonymous with the boom years of the Cel tic Tiger\, portraying shady characters\, gangsters\, and sultry women in a way that exposed the undercurrents of greed and power beneath the surfac e.\n\nKnown internationally\, Knuttel’s work attracted collectors such a s Sylvester Stallone\, Robert De Niro and Frank Sinatra\, in addition to a ttracting numerous portrait commissions for renowned figures such as Chris ty Moore and John B. Keane\, cementing his place as a unique observer of c ontemporary society.\n\nThe exhibition will showcase a lifetime of work fr om his illustrious career\, including iconic paintings\, sculptures crafte d from bronze\, silver and wood\, the Knuttel Linley collaborative chess s et and tapestries that earned him international recognition. This must-see event offers art enthusiasts a unique opportunity to witness the evolutio n of Knuttel’s artistic vision and immerse themselves with Knuttel's unm istakable blend of vivid colour\, storytelling\, and intricate character s tudies. In addition\, the show will feature two of his very last works - a sculpture and painting he had just completed before his unexpected death on a trip to Spain.\n\nOne of Knuttel’s most striking creations was the elaborate chess set that he made in collaboration with the renowned furnit ure designer and manufacturer David Linley\, which will take centre piece of the Retrospective Exhibition.

Mark and Debi have been working closely on the exhibition since t hey proposed the collaboration in 2022\, whereupon the artists became boun d through their instinctive conversations. As it progressed\, the contrast in scale between the artist’s work\, along with a shared sensitivity an d a refined sculptural language\, through the use of industrial materials such as steel\, wood\, and concrete\, made the connection apparent.\n\nA c entral point of dialogue that emerged between the artists in relation to T he Complex site and its surrounding environment gravitated towards a focal point that was the Garden of Eden – not only the biblical paradise desc ribed in the Book of Genesis\, but also the (later inspired) formal walled gardens of aristocratic estates. The Garden of Eden has acted as a centra l node from which other enquiries branched out\, among them the Victorian Fruit and Vegetable Market\, currently under renovation and adjacent to Th e Complex in Smithfield\, with its richly ornate terracotta castings of lo bsters\, turnips\, and other produce\, sequenced uniformly across its exte rior. It also embraced the materials and packaging methods used daily by t he vendors with their cardboard boxes filled with vegetables\, arranged on the roadside\, stacked on pallets and wrapped in plastic\, displaying an unintentional harmony of form\, colour\, and gesture.\n\nAs conversations between the artists and curators developed\, the concept of the wall in re lation to the garden became foundational\, raising the notion of designed boundaries that interrogate tensions between inside and outside\, wild and tamed\, safety and danger\, class structures\, and the demarcation of lan d and communities. The artist's research led them to another local site of discovery\, St. Mary's Abbey\, founded in 1139 and once one of the larges t and most significant medieval monasteries in Ireland. Ben came across a map illustrating the historic parish boundary of St. Mary’s and revealed that whilst the Abbey ceased to function as such after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1541\, the area north of the Liffey continued to be se rved by St. Michan’s. It was not until 1698 that St. Mary’s parish was formally established\, separating it from St. Michan’s\, the boundary o f which appears to cut diagonally through the exhibition space at The Comp lex\, creating yet another layer of spatial and historical division which will inform Ben’s installation.\n\nAccording to Joanne’s research\, it was rumoured that an Abbot once covered the leaf mouldings on the ceiling of the Abbey’s Chapter House to prevent the monks working there from be coming distracted\, or ultimately seduced by the beauty of nature. This de tail resonates with discussions around walled gardens\, the Garden of Eden \, and the idea of temptation. Joanne references Albrecht Dürer’s Adam and Eve as a key image in her research\, in which the biblical figures are shown with fig leaves covering their genitals\, symbolising their poignan t shame\; and at the same time\, the branch depicted possesses a certain d elicacy. From the fig leaf to the reverent cauliflower leaf\, and how it i s trimmed for wholesale distribution\, to the leaf patterns found on recen tly unearthed medieval tiles from St Mary’s Abbey\, the leaf continues t o be a unifying motif in Joanne’s work for the exhibition.\n\nAs the exh ibition approaches\, playful conversations and formative site visits have taken place at locations such as The Wonderful Barn\, Fire Station Artists ’ Studios\, the Leixlip Spa\, St. Mary’s Abbey\, Chapter House and var ious construction/archaeological sites surrounding The Complex. Boundary w alls were scaled or peeked over as they encouraged each other to discover. Residues from different periods of the Gallery site’s history prolifera te through their conversations\, calling to attention other sites of inter est and moments in art history. These outings have informed a flourishing dialogue and a relationship between the artists and curators\, laying line s between and marking out in increments their thoughts and speculations.

These pain tings and their loose style have become almost universally familiar. What drove these artists to paint like this? What does this new style seek to d o? This lecture begins with the artist Édouard Manet\, credited as one of the first artists to turn resolutely from the past and paint modern life. Following the advice of writer Charles Baudelaire\, Manet resolved to mak e his art relevant by painting the present rather than the past. His focus on the fast and fleeting nature of French modernity spurred on the Impres sionists to develop a new approach to capturing movement and atmosphere\, the effects of modernity that would prove elusive to the new technology of photography.\n\n1.

It simultaneously serves as a recovery of voice for the kinds of trauma that the city has carried through successive gener ations\, be it slavery\, famine\, war\, asylum\, or exile. The book is a s eries of walks through Liverpool made on a return journey from a feeling o f long exile. It is a recovery of voice through which the author situates parts of her own life into a collective solidarity that she sought out in conversations\, chance encounters and in the stories that she uncovered in the city’s local and international multimedia archives.\n\n\n\nCATHERIN E MORRIS is a writer\, academic\, and curator based in Dublin. Her first b ook Alice Milligan and the Irish Cultural Revival (Dublin: Four Courts Pre ss\, 2012) uncovered the forgotten cultural feminist arts practice of one of the founders of modern Ireland. In 2023\, Spring published The Art of A ftermath: Words and Pictures Exchanged between 07/2020 – 03/2023\,base d on an image/writing exchange between Morris and the American photographe r TIM MAUL around a set of 35 mm slides Maul had gifted her from his 1994 commission with the National Library of Ireland. Morris is Assistant Profe ssor of Literature at the National University of Ireland\, Maynooth. Previ ously\, she was Associate Professor in Creative Writing &\; Literature in Liverpool where she was elected the Central Library’s first Writer-in -Residence.\n\n\n\nEVE PATTEN is Professor of English at Trinity College D ublin\, where she lectures in modern Irish and British literature\, and a former director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Her recent books include a study of Irish representations in En glish modernist literature\, Ireland\, Revolution\, and the English Modern ist Imagination (Oxford UP\, 2022) and an edited volume\, Irish Literature in Transition\, 1940-1980 (Cambridge UP\, 2020). She is also co-editor of Dublin Tales\, published in the Oxford UP City Tales series in 2023.\n\n\ n\nKLAUS OTTMANN is the publisher and editor of SPRING PUBLICATIONS and Ch ief Curator Emeritus of The Phillips Collection in Washington\, D.C.

Most recently\, he translated the complete corres pondence of Nicolas Poussin: Your Very Humble and Very Affectionate Servan t: The Letters of Nicolas Poussin\, 1630–1665.\n\n\n\nABOUT SPRINGSPRING began under the auspices of the Analytical Psychology Club of New York as Spring Journal during the Second World War\, bringing the ideas of C.G. J ung into American translations. Its logo (the ram and the goat) symbolizes the focus of the press. The ram's forward push and the goat's backward lo ok recall a Renaissance idea: that one best moves forward by looking back to history and tradition. The animals are poised over a watery\, reed-rimm ed pool\, emblems of reflection and the soul—a major theme in many SPRIN G books. SPRING has been publishing books about soul-making since 1970\, b lurring the lines between art\, philosophy\, the history of ideas\, psychi atry\, mythology\, literature\, and religion.\n\n\n\nFor more information please contact: events@hodgesfiggis.ie\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/liverpool2025_cover2-9903cf079e01453c.png CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:Hodges Figgis\, 56-58 Dawson St\, Dublin 2\, D02 XE81\, Ireland GEO:53.342244;-6.25817 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= 56-58 Dawson St\, Dublin 2 \, D02 XE81\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Hodges Figgis:geo:53.3422 44,-6.25817 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:600@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250925T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250927T170000 DTSTAMP:20250926T132040Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/work-in-progress-exhibition-maitiu-mac -carthaigh-at-triskel-sample-project-space SUMMARY:Work in Progress Exhibition | Maitiú Mac Cárthaigh at TRISKEL SAM PLE Project Space DESCRIPTION:As a conclusion to their residency in the TRISKEL SAMPLE Projec t Space\, Maitiú Mac Cárthaigh will present their work in progress\, "wh en faggots scream".

The exhibition will be preceded by a guided tour with the artist at 4pm\, offering visito rs a rare opportunity to gain insight into Stroude’s creative process an d the inspirations behind her work. Attendance for the tour is free but bo oking is essential through Eventbrite.Slow Heat emerges from a collaborati on between Stroude and three actors\, who explored themes of women’s pot entiality\, endurance\, and the necessity of moving beyond inherited preco nceptions. Their embodied performances became the catalyst for Stroude’s striking new works\, which weave together performance\, archetypes\, and art historical references.Virginia Woolf’s writings were a persistent in fluence during the making of Slow Heat. Woolf’s metaphors of fire and he at—as forces of transformation and resistance—resonate deeply within S troude’s paintings\, which reflect a simmering intensity rather than sud den revolution. The works explore archetypes embedded in our cultural DNA\ , reinterpreting figures from Incy Wincy Spider to Mary Magdalene\, while engaging in dialogue with feminist artists such as Paula Rego\, Rebecca Ho rn\, and Ana Mendieta.In these works\, Stroude paints the performed experi ences of women through a female lens. The figures undergo transformation\, endure hardship\, and support one another\, embodying resilience\, tender ness\, and determination. Slow Heat is an invitation to witness women’s collective potential and the enduring flame of change.\n\n\n\nAbout the Ar tistEmma Stroude is a Berlin-born\, UK-raised\, and Sligo-based painter an d draughtswoman. She studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design and the Slade School of Art in London before moving to Ireland in 1996. Her work o ften draws inspiration from Ireland’s dramatic light and landscapes whil e engaging with themes of women’s roles in history and society.Her paint ings and drawings are held in numerous collections\, including the Office of Public Works\, Sligo and Kildare County Councils\, Pierce Brosnan\, and Luciano Benetton’s Imago Mundi. In 2021\, her portrait Fifteen won the Ireland-U.S. Council Award for Portraiture at the Royal Hibernian Academy ’s Annual Exhibition.

This landmark touring exhibition has been conceived by Hett ie Judah in collaboration with Hayward Gallery Touring. Following a succes sful tour of the UK\, \;Acts of Creation \;comes to VISUAL augment ed by the inclusion of works from Irish artists and collections.Spanning a ll of VISUAL's galleries\, Acts of Creation presents work in painting\, dr awing\, sculpture\, film\, photography and sound that speaks to the experi ence of motherhood in all its complexity. At VISUAL\, an accompanying in-d epth learning programme will respond to the exhibition's themes and works. A reading area\, a reflection space and specialist workshops and tours wi ll further provide visitors with ways to engage with the ideas and experie nces reflected in this powerful exhibition.\n\n\n\nActs of Creation: On Ar t and Motherhood plunges into the joys and heartaches\, mess\, myths and m ishaps of motherhood through over 100 artworks\, from the Women’s Moveme nt of the 1960s and 70s to the present day.While the Madonna and Child is one of the great subjects of European art\, we rarely see art about real m otherhood\, in all its complexity. Acts of Creation addresses this blind s pot in art history\, asserting the artist mother as an important cultural figure.How does the image of motherhood change when the artist is drawing on lived experience? What is made visible? What challenges are levelled at motherhood as an institution through which the mother is idealised as sel f-sacrificing\, wholesome\, tireless and uncomplaining?Diverse experiences are explored across four thematic displays. Creation looks at conception\ , pregnancy\, birth and nursing. It imagines motherhood as a creative act\ , albeit one in which joy might be tempered with anxiety\, pain and exhaus tion.Maintenance is dedicated to the ongoing work of motherhood and caregi ving in the day-to-day. Here we find artists engaged in domestic chores\, keeping children safe\, and navigating a balance between art and parenting .In Loss artists reflect on experiences of miscarriage\, adoption and invo luntary childlessness. Works in this section also protest the loss of wome n’s reproductive rights.The Temple is a series of self-portraits in whic h artists explore their own identity in relation to motherhood. For decade s women were told they could not be both an artist and a mother. These por traits stand in defiance of that idea.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition features art works that include nudity and explore childbirth\, (in)fertility\, miscarr iage\, abortion\, loss and domestic abuse.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-2-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:VISUAL Carlow\, Old Dublin Road\, Carlow\, Carlow\, Ireland GEO:52.839084;-6.9293689 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Old Dublin Road\, Carlow\, Carlow\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=VISUAL Carlow:geo:52.839084,-6 .9293689 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:491@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250927T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20250927T130000 DTSTAMP:20250919T093713Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/edible-bray-walking-tour-with-elida-ma iques-in-bray SUMMARY:Edible Bray Walking Tour | With Elida Maiques in Bray DESCRIPTION:Join artist and Composting Colonialism: Towards the Radical Gar den co-curator Elida Maiques for a walking tour of some of Edible Bray’s growing sites\, where members of Common Ground Bray nurture tiny gardens in often forgotten ‘common areas’ around the town.

Following the birth of Mode rnity and the innovations of the Impressionists\, artist continued to seek new ways to best capture and express the character of modern life. It was not long before the inventions of the Impressionists were subject to revi sion. In this lecture\, we encounter artists such as Paul Cézanne\, who a ttempted to tackle a problem that arose from the Impressionist focus on th e fleeting: how could this art become like that of the museums if its subj ect was inherently impermanent? We also turn our attention to sculpture wh ich\, until Auguste Rodin\, was still gripped by the Classical Tradition a nd had not yet met with the avant garde inventions seen in painting. Rodin ’s sculpture is as novel as it is beautiful\, proposing a fascinating so lution to capturing the fleeting forms of Impressionism in the solid media of bronze and marble.

This week we explore this question by examining artistic movements which sought to address our relationship with a rapidly transfo rming world. In Italy\, shortly after the turn of the 20th century\, Futur ism developed through an urge to turn away from the past and embrace the p ower of industry. Soon after\, World War I would demonstrate the repercuss ions that industrial progress could have for humanity\, driving artists to embrace concepts of futility and absurdity in creating new artforms. Fina lly\, stepping into the post-war period of the 1950s\, the emergence of Po p Art provides a fascinating insight into the transformation of culture in the age of commodity culture.

Working on large scale canvas\, Hayes produces abst ract\, performative paintings which arise from an exploration of intense b odily feeling\; the physical tension that arises when language and verbal expression fails. Her painting strategies play with the intimacy of memory and soundscapes to create a bodily charge that transfers onto the canvas. As this builds\, she utilises this anxious energy\, creating fervent mark s that leave traces of this happening in their wake. Hayes is interested i n the moment when internalised experience breaks to the surface.

With Trans &\; Genderqueer bodies being weaponised politically by right wing movements w orldwide\, the discussion around trans identity in media\, which largely s eems to ignore or underrepresent trans voices\, has reduced the issue to ‘us’ and ‘them’. This dehumanises and alienates trans people\, who instead become a scapegoat to be feared\, rather than individuals to be u nderstood.\n\nAbjection as termed by Julie Kristeva in her book Powers of Horror refers to that which does not “respect borders\, positions\, rule s\,” instead “disturbs identity\, system\, order”. Conor’s work lo oks to utilise this concept of Abjection as a liberatory field to explore ways of being that challenges paternal law.\n\nThe bodies that appear in t hese paintings\, referred to as Visitors\, are fluid\, porous &\; perme able. They pull on forms of life native to earth such as fungi or marine l ife\, informing the viewer that they are more like us than we might initia lly think. Confronted with bodies set apart from our understanding of sent ience\, viewers are asked to reckon with their own relationship to bodily autonomy &\; self-determination.

An out-of-date present is rearranged in minute detail as t hough the process might reveal something. Time remains static – the food never grows mouldy. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced across the gallery in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings. “Now n ow” is also a phrase whose function and meaning is dependent on tone\; i t can be understood as a warning\, or a consolation. The sculptures build on these unresolved tensions\; the personal in the political\, the present in light of the past.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /02/Andy-Fitz-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:VISUAL Carlow\, Old Dublin Road\, Carlow\, Carlow\, Ireland GEO:52.839084;-6.9293689 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Old Dublin Road\, Carlow\, Carlow\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=VISUAL Carlow:geo:52.839084,-6 .9293689 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3183@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260131T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260131T150000 DTSTAMP:20260123T101100Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/mart-awards-show-2026-group-exhibition -at-mart-gallery SUMMARY:MART Awards Show 2026 | Group Exhibition at MART Gallery DESCRIPTION:Artists: Vicky Ochala\, Nicole Manning\, Lily Mannion\,\n\nOpen ing Reception: Saturday\, 31 January\, 1–3pm.\n\nExhibition Runs: 31 Jan uary – 14 February 2026.\nVenue: The MART Gallery\, 190a Rathmines Road Lower\, Dublin 6\nOpening Hours: Wednesday – Saturday\, 1–6pm.

Smith's work ex plores the lived experience of womanhood responding to themes around mothe rhood\, ageing and the invisibility of the ordinary woman. Her process enc ourages the subject to present themselves in an authentic and truthful way so that we may see something of their inner experience. In essence this w ork is about removing the masks we wear and allowing ourselves to be truly seen. Smith believes that it is in seeing others that we can be helped to accept and value our own self.

The work explores perception\, memory and tim e. This is reflected in the different times attributed to each successive exhibition in a sequence of six that begins at QSS in Belfast. Each subseq uent exhibition features works that are assigned a different moment in tim e\, from 20.49pm through to 20.54pm\n\n\n\n‘My current body of work is b ased on a scene I witnessed where a large group of people sat by a riverba nk quietly watching a sunset. There was a huge crowd\, as though a concert was about to begin\, but it was just people coming together to enjoy the beauty of nature. \;\n\n\n\nI have spent the last two years making pai ntings\, drawings and sculptures that try to \;evoke this brief moment . \;The fact that I saw the people sitting watching for just an instan t means I have had to think really hard about what was there. And memory i s inconsistent and unreliable\; each image could be true\, \;but there is nothing to prove or disprove their veracity.’\n\n\n\nThe history of art is full of instances where artists have addressed our human need for f ellowship and beauty through interactions with the natural world. This wor k does so in a uniquely perilous time for the environment and in an era wh ere the role of the spectator is uniquely problematic. \;\n\n\n\nIn se tting up a situation in the gallery\, where the viewer’s gaze is returne d by the people watching a sunset in the artworks raise questions are rais ed about neutrality and the role of the spectator.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-2-1-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Northern Ireland - Belfast LOCATION:QSS Gallery 1 2nd Floor\, QSS Gallery 1 2nd Floor\, The Arches Cen tre\, 11-13 Bloomfield Ave\, Belfast\, BT5 5AA\, Ireland GEO:54.597619;-5.890014 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=QSS Gallery 1 2nd Floor\, T he Arches Centre\, 11-13 Bloomfield Ave\, Belfast\, BT5 5AA\, Ireland;X-AP PLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=QSS Gallery 1 2nd Floor:geo:54.597619,-5.890014 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3502@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20260312 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin;VALUE=DATE:20260417 DTSTAMP:20260306T143244Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/studio-35-group-exhibition-at-queen-st reet-studios SUMMARY:Studio 35 | Group Exhibition at Queen Street Studios DESCRIPTION:\nStudio 35 gathers five artists\; Kate O’Neill\, Reuben Brow n\, Mollie Browne\, Claire Ritchie and Síofra Minnis\, who have each been the recipient of the QSS Artist Studios &\; Gallery Graduate Bursary.

From the earliest\, now fi ve years into their career\, to the most recent\, who recently began their studio journey\, Studio 35 presents a spectrum of approaches and trajecto ries\, reflecting not only on individual practice\, but also on the role o f QSS Artist Studios &\; Gallery in supporting early-career artists in Belfast. Rather than advancing a single narrative\, the exhibition traces how this shared studio has acted as a grounding force\, anchoring and prop elling the distinct practices each artist continues to pursue today.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /08/listings-exhibition-2-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Northern Ireland - Belfast LOCATION:QSS Gallery 2 2nd Floor\, QSS Gallery 2 2nd Floor\, The Arches Cen tre\, 11-13 Bloomfield Ave\, Belfast\, BT5 5AA\, Ireland GEO:54.597619;-5.890014 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=QSS Gallery 2 2nd Floor\, T he Arches Centre\, 11-13 Bloomfield Ave\, Belfast\, BT5 5AA\, Ireland;X-AP PLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=QSS Gallery 2 2nd Floor:geo:54.597619,-5.890014 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3519@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260312T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260423T000000 DTSTAMP:20260306T143044Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/in-ainm-an-athar-maryann-curran-at-cul turlann-mcadam-o-fiaich SUMMARY:In Ainm an Athar | Maryann Curran at Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich DESCRIPTION:Rooted in personal experience\, this exhibition draws connectio ns between language\, culture and selfhood.

His artistic practice is centred around a personal and phenomenolo gical exploration of the complex relationship that exists between \;se lf \;and \;surroundings. His work has been characterised as a uniq ue blended form of contemporary engagement with both the genre of ‘lands cape’ painting and an intimate narrative painting tradition\; eschewing hierarchy and category in favour of equal focus on both landscapes and fig ures. He is a self-styled painter of the space between people_and_place.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /06/JamesHayes_Exhibition-Poster_VAI_BlasketCentre-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Munster LOCATION:Siamsa Tíre Theatre &\; Arts Centre\, Town Park\, Tralee\, Ker ry\, V92XW44\, Ireland GEO:52.266442;-9.703574 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Town Park\, Tralee\, Kerry\ , V92XW44\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Siamsa Tíre Theatre & Arts Centre:geo:52.266442,-9.703574 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4074@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260604T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260627T160000 DTSTAMP:20260619T143553Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/silent-earth-vernon-carter-at-engine-r oom-gallery SUMMARY:Silent Earth | Vernon Carter at Engine Room Gallery DESCRIPTION:\nExhibition continues from 04/06/26.\n\n\n\n'Silent Earth' is a solo show from environmental artist Vernon Carter at Engine Room Gallery .\n\n\n\nExhibition runs from the 4th of June to the 27th of June 2026.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /06/Press-release-dads-exhibition-until-27th-June.png CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Northern Ireland - Belfast LOCATION:The Engine Room Gallery\, 59 North St\, Belfast\, BT1 1NB\, Irelan d GEO:-5.9303075;54.6017632 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=59 North St\, Belfast\, BT1 1NB\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Engine Room Gallery:geo:-5.9 303075,54.6017632 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4070@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260604T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260627T160000 DTSTAMP:20260622T141736Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/females-are-gems-lise-mcgreevy-at-the- engine-room-gallery SUMMARY:Females Are Gems | Lise McGreevy at The Engine Room Gallery DESCRIPTION:Exhibition continues from 04/06/26.\n\nIn the light of the new NI laws and campaign supporting action against Violence Against Women and Girls.

The drawings are highly physical and e xpressive. He walks the surrounding roads and farms\, photographing in mon ochrome\, from which the artworks are developed.\n\n\n\nFarm animals\, alo ng with the ever-eroding trees and ditches – familiar yet often overlook ed\, intimate yet utilitarian – occupy a complex position within Irish c ulture. By isolating and enlarging these subjects\, the artist seeks to gr ant them a sense of directness and authority\, encouraging viewers to ackn owledge their presence. Charcoal is central to the process. Its immediacy and fragility mirror the subjects’ vulnerability.\n\n\n\nRather than pre senting an idealised rural image\, the work acknowledges the quiet realiti es of coexistence between humans\, animals\, and land. In a time of enviro nmental uncertainty and shifting relationships with agriculture\, these dr awings invite a pause – a moment to look closely at lives that are deepl y interwoven with our own.\n\n\n\nOpen 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday.12pm to 4pm Saturday or by appointment.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025 /07/listings-exhibition-2.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Ulster – Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan LOCATION:Townhall Arts Centre Gallery\, Townhall Street\, Cavan\, H12 WV82\ , Ireland GEO:53.991237;-7.36134 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Townhall Street\, Cavan\, H 12 WV82\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Townhall Arts Centre Gallery: geo:53.991237,-7.36134 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3948@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260608T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260608T210000 DTSTAMP:20260605T094046Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/talk-le-cheile-siobhan-moore-at-darog- wine-bar SUMMARY:Talk | Le Chéile - Siobhán Moore at Daróg Wine Bar DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk | Wine Tasting | Pop Up Art Shop\n\n‘Le Chéi le’ (‘together’ in Irish)\, are events open to anyone seeking inspir ation and connection.

Her recent wor k explores themes of transience and impermanence\, and presence and m emory. \n\nIn this series of landscape paintings\, she approaches presenc e and memory from the periphery\, as a space of fragility and quiet tensio n. Where boundaries soften and shift\, and form is suggested rather than f ixed. She revisits familiar landscapes to reflect on the subtle unease o f being tethered to places that are continually in flux – echoing Seam us Heaney’s ‘Postscript’\, where the landscape leaves one being “neither here nor there”.  \n\nThis sense of being suspended in a moment that can’t be held reflects the Buddhist concept of impermanen ce\, and of how all things arise and pass away. In these moments\, the landscape becomes both presence and disappearance. Within these setting s\, memory exists as something both hidden and tangible — traces of wha t has been\, are held quietly within.  \n\nA Sense of Place invites a moment of stillness and contemplation\, to consider how places continue t o shape us even as they change or disappear. Rather than resisting transfo rmation\, this work reflects on what it means to live alongside it\; to accept change and the passing of time as fundamental parts of human expe rience.  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /06/A-Sense-of-Place_Exhibition_1400x800px_3-3.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster - Dublin LOCATION:dlr Mill Theatre\, Dundrum Town Centre\, Dundrum\, Dublin 16 \, D 16 C5X6\, Ireland GEO:53.286982;-6.242252 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Dundrum Town Centre\, Dundr um\, Dublin 16 \, D16 C5X6\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=dlr Mill Theatre:geo:53.286982,-6.242252 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3915@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260617T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260627T170000 DTSTAMP:20260612T101223Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/king-billy-was-a-slave-trader-julie-co rcoran-at-the-kiosk SUMMARY:King Billy Was A Slave Trader | Julie Corcoran at The Kiosk DESCRIPTION:King Billy Was A Slave Trader is an exhibition of work by Julie Corcoran based on research begun during her two week artist residency at the Bristol Folkhouse Darkroom in January\, supported by Cavan Arts Office . \nThis groundbreaking exhibition will shed new light on recent evidence uncovered about King Billy’s role as governor of the Royal African Compa ny (RAC) following a transfer of shares from Edward Colston and asks that the OPW update visitor information at the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Cent re to reflect this. \n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /06/VAI-Event-Julie-Corcoran-150x150-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Leinster LOCATION:The Kiosk Project Art Space\, Barlow House\, West St\, Monaymore\, Drogheda\, Co.

Featuring artists Aibhainn Wheeler\, Andrew Murphy\, Gildas O Laoire and Mark Redden.\nThe title refers to the act of carrying a boat across land to reach new waters — an enduring image of migration\, resil ience\, and the search for new horizons. It echoes Werner Herzog’s film ‘Fitzcarraldo’\, where a steamship is hauled over a mountain in pursui t of an impossible dream. In PORTAGE\, that same gesture becomes a metapho r for movement\, risk\, and for the persistence required to cross from one world to another.

Each artist brings their own experiences\, perspectives and ways of making to a collective conversation .\nTogether\, they present the west not as a fixed destination\, but as a shared orientation — personal\, evolving and open to interpretation.\n&n bsp\; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visualartists.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026 /08/flyer-v4.jpg CATEGORIES:Connaught,Exhibition LOCATION:The Linenhall Arts Centre\, Linenhall Street\, Castlebar\, Castleb ar\, Ireland\, F23 AN24\, Ireland GEO:53.858157;-9.297811 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Linenhall Street\, Castleba r\, Castlebar\, Ireland\, F23 AN24\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Th e Linenhall Arts Centre:geo:53.858157,-9.297811 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4327@visualartists.ie DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260818T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20260818T120000 DTSTAMP:20260814T105906Z URL:https://visualartists.ie/events/event-coastal-connections-and-machair- habitat-at-milford-library SUMMARY:Event | Coastal Connections and Machair Habitat at Milford Library DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nEnjoy a pop-up exhibition of a coastal community archive of images and recordings of how life was\, not so long ago\, \;with a talk from Máire Nic Fhearraigh\, community engagement officer with the Ma chaire Beo / LIFE on Machair conservation project\, and Fidelma Maher\, co astal ecologist with National Parks and Wildlife Service.\n\n\n\nRaising a wareness of how special and unique our coastal areas are in the West and N orthWest of Ireland.

During the summer\, she is stru ck by the diversity of wildflowers she encounters.\n\n\n\nOn her travels\, Lewis wears a small field recorder. To distract herself from the effort o f cycling\, she tests her botanical knowledge by naming out-loud each spec ies that she passes. The breathless determination captured in her voice re cordings\, highlights the physical effort of climbing hills. The mental ef fort of recalling the names of flowers as she comes back downhill at speed is also clear.\n\n\n\nAs she listens back to her recordings\, what appear s in her mind’s eye are not intricate botanical forms\, but sequences of bright colours unfolding like a woven cloth. Lewis has experimented with ways of making textiles from plant fibres using traditional techniques suc h as twisting\, looping and weaving. These slow\, repetitive processes are comparable to the rhythms of the body moving through the landscape.\n\n\n \nOpening times:\n\n\n\nMonday - Thursday: 10am - 8pm\n\n\n\nFriday and Sa turday: 10am - 5pm\n\n\n\nSunday : 12 noon - 4pm \n\n\n\nGallery closed f rom Saturday to Monday on Bank Holidays. \n\n\n\nImage credit: Steps\, 20 25\, Róisín Lewis.

Made with ink a nd oil stick on canvas\, the series uses excess\, indulgence\, and collaps e as an allegory for what results from dogmatic thinking — when ideas ha rden and refuse to be questioned.\nThe inspiration for the work comes from a series of books by American sociologist Alvin Gouldner that addresses t he dangers of failing to confront and interrogate our\nideological biases. For Mogster\, Gouldner’s warning becomes visual. The work asks what ha ppens when we stop testing our beliefs against the world.

Haussmann’s redesign\, the rise of cafés and boulevards\, and the rhythms of urban leisure create a new world for artists to observe. Figures such as Édouard Manet\, Claude Monet and Edgar Degas shift attention toward contemporary life\, fleeting light and the psychology of seeing. Impressionism emerges not just as a s tyle but as a response to modern urban experience. Musical parallels in De bussy and Ravel reinforce this sense of atmosphere\, suggestion and fragme ntary perception.\n.
