hay boy, gay boy | Maitiú Mac Cárthaigh at Cork Printmakers Studio Gallery

Event Details

Exhibition runs 10/09/26-12/11/26.

Cork Printmakers present hay boy, gay boy, a solo exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Maitiú Mac Cárthaigh.
Mac Cárthaigh’s work explores the rural sexual imaginary. Within this, Mac Cárthaigh’s practice focuses on rural gentrification, homonormativity, greenwashing, and the material economies of space and place. They approach work through a Country Boy’s Make-Do methodology, drawing on a Co-Op materiality. Mac Cárthaigh’s practice examines how we construct different kinds of rural space with a materiality not rooted in rurality but with things that come in off the back of a lorry to be bought off the shelf.
