This exhibition presents Sean Scully’s Doric paintings, a series of works he has produced since 2008. The title references one of the three orders of ancient Greek architecture, the least ornate Doric order, and the paintings were conceived as a celebration of the contribution of classic Greek culture to humanity. The Doric order impressed Sean Scully for its simplicity and force, “the spaces between the columns are space for thought, for light, for questioning and growth.” read more...

Vincent Sheridan studied at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and the Dublin Institute of Technology. He has been working as a full-time artist since 1981. Birds (especially crows and starlings) continue to feature largely in Sheridan's work. He is concerned with the social behaviour, flight dynamics and subliminal 'brushstroke' patterns of birds in flight. His images often mirror human group dynamics, modes of communication and social interactions. read more...

10th President examines and expands upon ideas of statehood and the formation of public and political will, addressing latent issues of consensus and collective representation. The project proposes that the office of the President be handed over for a nominal period, be it a minute, an hour, or a day, to a child who died whilst under the care of the State. The project will culminate in an exhibition, publication and an event to coincide with the anniversary of the publishing of the Ryan report and the proposed day of coronation. read more...

The showing of This Situation will mark the first occasion in which the British born German artist Tino Sehgal’s work will be seen in Ireland. Sehgal studied both Political Economics and Choreography, working in dance before focusing on his ‘constructed situations’ which are composed using the human voice, language, movement, and interaction. Revealed only as experiences in the time and space they occupy, his works exist for those who encounter them and in their memories, but not as physical objects. Seghal’s practice explores definitions of materiality, authenticity, owner, consumer, producer and value both in art making and in society in general. read more...

Aleana Egan's art is predominantly intuitive and subjective; she uses simple materials, assembled or barely transformed, to create enigmatic works that have a restrained tone and structure. She groups these pieces into installations that are oddly ambivalent; on the one hand she draws our attention to the way things look, how they settle, sag, curve, or hang; on the other, her forms and shapes act as traces or memories, and as a tentative articulation of shifting responses to remembered places or everyday moments. read more...
