Exhibition Roundup – March and April
I never did a post about exhibitions in March so I’m doing one now that features a selection of exhibitions which took place during March and April.
Willie Doherty, The Visitor, 2008
Willie Doherty is showing a new video work at the Douglas Hyde Gallery. Also at DHG is a exhibition by Paul Mosse featuring various materials he has compiled for the publication Leaves and Papers I-VI. The project involves six artists who were ”asked to write about and illustrate, as openly as possible, their personal interests and values”. The exhibitions run from 18 April – 27 May.
Breaking Ground presented Art in the Life World (not sure what other world there is but there you go) in an old swimming pool in Ballymun from 28 February – 12 April 2008. It was an interesting site for an exhibition with work shown in the (empty) pool itself and in the changing rooms and showers. The show was a bit hit and miss but included some really good work. Of particular interest was Jesse Jones video of a marching band performing in the pool and Stephen Gunning’s Black and white video showing the legs and shadows of marchers in a parade.

Residency and Exhibition News
I will be travelling to Berlin in a few weeks to take up a 5 week residency at Ard Bia Berlin.
I have also been invited to participate in a group show at the Lewis Glucksman Gallery in Cork this summer.
My show at the Red Stables opened last night with an “in conversation” type discussion with Alan Phelan. The show runs until Sunday and I’ll be out at the gallery at lunch time on Sunday when the Visit Studios bus arrives. Then I’ll be rushing back into town to be in my studio (at Pallas Studios on Foley Street) for the remainder of Visit.

Events in April
Selected work from my first solo show at the Lab will be touring to the Red Stables in Raheny for a week.
I’ll also be including some pieces of work that were not in the Lab show.
To launch the show I will be discussing my work with Alan Phelan at the Red Stables at half 6 on Monday 14th March – all are welcome to attend.
The exhibition coincides with Visit Open Studios weekend. The Red Stables is one of the venues participating in Visit on Sunday 20th April. There will be a wine reception at the gallery at lunchtime on the Sunday during Visit.
My studio at Pallas Studios on Foley Street (up the road from the Lab) will also be open to the public on Sunday 20th April.
