In the small library of the Info Lab in the CAC DeBuitlear presents The Found Bookmark Collection Vilnius. The piece consists of objects left between the pages of books in libraries in Vilnius. He visited libraries throughout the city collecting several hundred objects including receipts, 40-year-old envelopes, hair-pins and a love letter addressed to “my dear cabbage”. On view in the CAC is a selection from this collection, each item containing its own personal story.

An Exhibition in 5 Chapters / Flax Residency Article
I'm off to Vilnius on Monday to create an installation continuing my project "The Found Bookmark Archive". I'll be collecting objects from Library books around the city which will then be on show in the Contemporary Art Centre.
I've also just finished a year long residency at Flax Art Studios in Belfast. I've written an article about my time there which was published in the Visual Artist's Newsheet and which I have attached. I have moved back to Dublin and will be looking for studio here shortly.

One Way or Another is a two person exhibition by Niall de Buitlear and Leo Devlin at Queen Street Studios. The work was created while the artists were participants on the year long graduate residency at Flax Art Studios. The title of the show alludes to both artists' willingness to follow lines of enquiry across media boundaries. The show will feature photographs, performance residue, sculpture and works on paper.
Opening 6-9pm Thursday 13th September
Exhibition runs until 11th October
@ Queen Street Studios, Belfast
