Reflecting her experiences growing up in Barcelona and living in Ireland for over twenty years, Vanessa Donoso López’s practice explores identity, migration, and cultural behaviours shaped by relocation.

Her research on ‘transitional phenomena’ refers to the developmental space between internal and external reality, where creativity and culture take form, and identities and relationships are negotiated through objects, gestures, and shared practices. She uses primordial and attainable materials like clay, soil and stones to examine how traditions, language and values adapt across cultures over time.

Opening reception: Thursday 23 July 6–8pm.

The exhibition Ar an Imeall – On the Edge is a bilingual project which explores and documents a large selection of Ireland’s offshore islands.

Having researched the history, landscape, demographics, and topography of the islands over the last few years, the artist has painted them, as seen from the mainland, trying to capture their essence. Almost 60 islands are investigated, mainly those that are or were once inhabited and, except for Achill, are not connected to the mainland by a bridge. The project seeks to record, celebrate, respect and remember the individual world that each island is and was to those that lived and still live on it.

The semi-abstract paintings in this exhibition draw inspiration from significant moments from O’Flynn’s everyday life.

Exhibition continues from 02/06/26.

The slowness and precision Paul McKinley evokes in his exquisite paintings belies the anger at the injustice that motivated their production. For the last 15 years he has depicted landscapes in his meticulous, figurative style that are suffused with trauma and human suffering.

For ‘Ag Tochailt’ (digging) he moves his focus away from previous places including Afghanistan, Rwanda, Sri Lanka and Greece to The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The title is an allusion to the Casement Report (1904) written by Irish nationalist and activist Roger Casement to describe abuses in the Congo Free State, then privately owned by King Leopold II of Belgium.

Accompanying Text written by Francis Halsall.

You may believe that candy is sweet and lovely, reminiscent of childhood, of innocence,
multicoloured and benign. But candy could also be considered evil, a corrupting force, an
addictive substance that causes manic energy, obesity, tooth loss, etc.
There is another world out there, spoken of in the pages of the dreaded Candinomicon, a
chaotic and colourful dimension, filled with untold candy nightmares, hideous sickly-sweet
creatures and endless sugar saturated madness.

Opening Reception Thursday the 23th of July.

IMMA Collection: Art as Agency is a major three-year display celebrating IMMA’s Permanent Collection as a source of agency and knowledge. Featuring over 100 artists, from the 1960s to the present, it highlights key works, including many recent acquisitions. This ambitious exhibition invites engagement and research over time, allowing for a rich durational experience of Ireland’s Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.

Through thematic, chronological, geographical, and media-based approaches, the exhibition examines how artworks connect across time and contexts, fostering new interpretations and relevance. Works from the 1960s to the 1980s evoke the foundational story of the Irish art world. While acknowledging the context of the modernist, predominantly male dominance of that era, the exhibition also spotlights the material innovation and socially engaged practices of others who persisted despite the relatively conservative status quo.

The exhibition also presents more recent practice that explores urgent global themes such as gender, hybridity, cultural histories, de-colonialism, diaspora, migration, food injustice, climate, and ecological change. Memory, imagination, and storytelling play pivotal roles in these works, offering generative ways to process fragmentation, dislocation, and survival in unfamiliar spaces. New and existing works in the IMMA grounds will extend these themes.

The exhibition includes a specially created ‘white cube’ gallery space inspired by Brian O’Doherty’s renowned series of essays Inside the White Cube – The Ideology of the Gallery Space (1976), that critiques the auratic, market-driven effects of the white cube gallery format. Likewise the choice of works curated for this space pushes back by highlighting works by Post-War American women, pioneering conceptualist artworks by Marcel Duchamp and Brian O’Doherty as well as a contemporary feminist response by Andrea Geyer.

By interweaving historical and contemporary narratives, Art as Agency invites audiences to reflect on the evolving meanings and possibilities of art in shaping our understanding of and action in the world.

Pallas Projects/Studios are delighted to announce the participating artists in our Arts Council funded programme of Artist-Initiated Projects 2026.

Crawford Art Gallery and Highlanes Gallery proudly present To Land: Living Roots Awaken, in collaboration with the Artist-Teacher-Researcher Curatorial Group. Drawing from the rich collection of Crawford’s contemporary works, the exhibition explores how identity is shaped by our relationship with land, history, and memory. We are an island formed by rupture and renewal, rooted in ancient cultures yet continually re-forming in the wake of colonisation. The exhibition conveys the persistence of history in the present, while themes of displacement and the urge to put down roots resonate quietly in the selected artworks.

Everyone is welcome in Our Place. Experience an immersive sound and light exhibition that playfully explores themes of human rights, happiness and belonging.

The exhibition will open on Saturday, 13th June, from 2pm to 4pm

Wexford Arts Centre and Wexford County Council Arts Department, in partnership with South East Technological University, are pleased to present idir, a solo exhibition by Blaine O’Donnell, recipient of the 2024 EMERGENCE Visual Art Award. .

For idir, O’Donnell has drawn upon geological sites in County Wexford and the architecture of the Wexford Arts Centre building. He has developed a new body of sculptural work incorporating moving image elements to explore questions of temporality, repetition, and translation.

Liz Johnson’s art practice is project-based. Her recent work explores themes of transience and impermanence, and presence and memory. 

In this series of landscape paintings, she approaches presence and memory from the periphery, as a space of fragility and quiet tension. Where boundaries soften and shift, and form is suggested rather than fixed. She revisits familiar landscapes to reflect on the subtle unease of being tethered to places that are continually in flux – echoing Seamus Heaney’s ‘Postscript’, where the landscape leaves one being “neither here nor there”.  

This sense of being suspended in a moment that can’t be held reflects the Buddhist concept of impermanence, and of how all things arise and pass away. In these moments, the landscape becomes both presence and disappearance. Within these settings, memory exists as something both hidden and tangible — traces of what has been, are held quietly within.  

A Sense of Place invites a moment of stillness and contemplation, to consider how places continue to shape us even as they change or disappear. Rather than resisting transformation, this work reflects on what it means to live alongside it; to accept change and the passing of time as fundamental parts of human experience. 

‘Urban Landscapes’ is a body of work created without boundaries or fixed rules, embracing creative freedom and open interpretation. Fluid, expressive, and imaginative, it explores colour, texture, and design as a means of navigating and escaping the realities and challenges of the contemporary world. The exhibition reflects Fiona O’Brien’s experience as a long-time Ballymun resident, documenting and responding to the constant construction, transformation, and evolution of the environment around her. Influenced by urban living, music, nature, weather, culture, diversity, architecture, developing spaces, and punk aesthetics.

Open Wed-Sun 12-5pm, Thurs 12-6pm.
