Helen O’Dea’s glittering detritus caught our eye at the NCAD Graduate Exhibition this year, and it seems she’s caught the eye of Monster Truck as well. This month, as part of Tangible Seconds, the emerging artist is exhibiting in the gallery alongside an equally talented fresh crop of new graduates from the cream of the country’s art colleges. O’Dea, Jake Bourke, Barbara H. Larkin, Rory Mullen, and Oisin Vink present an eclectic but cleverly curated mix of video, installation, sculpture and photography, pinned together by an undercurrent of spatial distortion and a yearning for bygone temporal instances. Highlights include Vink’s dissemination of pornography from the Victorian to the digital era, and Bourke’s frustrated exploration of the impossibility of recreating past performance in Hardest Job. Catch it in IRL at Monster Truck Gallery until December 12th, and memorise the names of sure-to-be-seen-again new art stars.
