Let's Re-Imagine Laika | Suzy O’ Mullane at Espace 10, Paris

Let's Re-Imagine Laika | Suzy O’ Mullane at Espace 10, Paris

20/11/2025 - 27/11/2025
12:00 am - 7:00 pm
Espace 10
10 Rue Des Ecouffes , Paris, 75004

Let’s Re-Imagine Laika + recent works invites us into Suzy O’ Mullane’s universe of empathy, mythology and imaginative rescue. Through her characteristic blend of tenderness and surrealism, O’ Mullane re-casts the tragic figure of Laika—the first dog sent into orbit—as a symbol of endurance and transcendence.
Here, the act of imagination becomes a form of healing: a way to repair what history has broken, to write gentler endings for stories of sacrifice and loss. The eponymous work extends beyond Laika’s narrative into a wider meditation on identity, vulnerability and power—human, animal, and cosmic.

12:00 am
Irish Arts Center
726 11th Ave, New York, NY 10019

OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST, CURATOR MEET-AND-GREET, FILM SCREENINGS, AND MORE

“It’s terrible to think [about] where I get my inspiration, but all these things are fodder to me as an artist. I love trees. I love mountains. But I don’t want to go out and paint them. I don’t paint to make money. I paint what I want, and I’ve always been political.”

— Patricia Hurl

For the past 40+ years, the painter Patricia Hurl has portrayed the lives of Irish women and their experiences as housewives, child-bearers, caretakers, providers and warriors navigating a male-dominated world, evoking the broad spectrum of emotions felt by her subjects through expressionistic, layered brushstrokes and blending the figurative and abstract.

As part of Irish Gothic, a retrospective of Hurl’s extraordinary career presented by IAC in partnership with the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), we will be offering special opportunities this September for audiences to engage with the artist and her work, including an opening night reception; a talk with curator Johanne Mullan of IMMA; a members-only private tour of the exhibition; screenings of the documentary Dawn to Dusk, which follows the artist collective Na Cailleacha, of which Hurl is a founding member; and gallery hours for an Irish Gothic theatre installation. Admission is free.
