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.
