SUMMARY:Banbha McCann: Domestic Bliss
DESCRIPTION:Continuing their Artist-Initiated Projects program at Pallas\, Domestic Bliss reflects on the desire for a home\, and how to make one. We are told the work in this exhibition\, “blurs the lines between the personal and universal\, image and object\, memory and desire. Paintings of domestic interiors are sourced from the collective memory and imagination; the aspirational homes of Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire. \n \nTextiles and sculptures juxtapose the canon of modern design with childhood memories of life in a bedsit\, where objects take on the role of an entire room; the tv\, the microwave\, and the bed\, the potted plant as a garden. These real and imagined places and objects describe the places we live\, and the home we carry around in our heads.” \nPallas Projects/Studios\, opens Thursday September 14 and runs to Saturday September 30. \nbanbhamccann.com

SUMMARY:Shahid شَـاهِد - Diaa Lagan and Basil Al-Rawi
DESCRIPTION:In Arabic\, Shahid means ‘witness’ – someone who observes\, but also someone who hears and encounters experiences in their unconscious. Through a variety of artforms and visual methodologies\, the artists use the gallery to organise their combined meditative observation\, which moves from significant cultural and mythical references\, as well as references from vernacular traditions\, to imaginary landscapes and personal reminiscences. The complex layering of legacies\, memories\, identities\, all fusing into a unique self\, augmented by the plurality of influences\, is presented here in a mosaic of deeply rooted forms. \nThe Lab\, Foley Street\, until December 4.

SUMMARY:James Hanly: Recast
DESCRIPTION:To some of us James Hanly is Mr RHA\, the artist we most associate with the space in terms of his presence there and continual association. Recast is a body of over 100 drawings of statues which he worked on during lockdown in his home studio on the North Strand. \n \nDrawn from photos\, thumbnails and notes of hundreds of statues he encountered over two decades of travel. He has taken this immutable monuments\, faithfully rendering their modest or majestic poses\, before  making gently comic or satirical interventions\, whatever the rhetoric of the figure suggests. \n \nIt’s all about the supporting cast in this instance\, new life and contemporary relevance being brought to bear on their imperiousness. \nRHA from Thursday August 24 until Sunday October 1.

SUMMARY:Shades of Life - An Exhibition By Polina Kozka
DESCRIPTION:Ukrainian artist\, Polina Kozka embarks on her debut solo exhibition at Gallery X in July with a collection of paintings that reflects her love of texture and design. \nPolina believes that our space creates our mood and that the true nature of her artworks is revealed in interaction with space. She often uses gold in her art – an echo of her studying gold embroidery – which is valuable for its play of light. As an interior designer\, she believes that the use of texture allows her to enrich different spaces with depth and shadows while leaving room for the imagination. \n \nPolina is from the center of Ukraine\, near Poltava. She studied Gold Art Embroidery at the Odessa Theological Seminary\, where she graduated with honors. March 2022 saw her arrive in Ireland. Surviving in the new rapidly changing realities of life\, Polina continued to paint. She has been volunteering at the Double Take Studios at Rua Red with Ukrainians with special needs. She is also involved in conducting Master Classes for Ukrainian refugees with members of the Array Collective from Belfast and has participated in group exhibitions at Gallery X and Bloom. \n \nExhibition: Fri 21st – Wed 26th July. 1.00pm – 5.30pm (Closed Sunday/Monday) \nCurated by Tony Strickland \nGalleryX\, 11 Hume Street\, Dublin 2 \nOpening Reception: Thursday 20th July\,  6pm. Guest Speaker: Katherine Geoghegan\, Artist \nLimited street parking. For more see their Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Joanne Hynes | What We Carry With Us
DESCRIPTION:What do we leave behind\, take forward\, carry with us? Through a selection of clothing\, objects and text\, Joanne Hynes explores fictional\, autobiographic and creative meaning in gesture\, process\, and materiality. Her first solo exhibition is formed around extracts from Hynes’s fictional essays\, prose\, poetry and short stories. Hynes carries ideas of loss and belonging into material questioning through collecting\, making and writing\, investigating the notion of staying present with discomfort through process. In so doing\, Hynes reflects on design thinking from 25 years in fashion\, marking a point of reconciliation in her creative practice.  \nKevin Kavanagh Gallery\, July 20-August 5 (Tues-Sat\, 11am-5pm) \n

SUMMARY:Glass Biennale
DESCRIPTION:Seeking to “present and provoke international perspectives\, explorations and manifestations of glass as creative expression\,” the glass biennale should be on everyone’s exhibition list for the summer. Glass is formed when a molten material cools so quickly that a crystalline structure does not arrange itself. \nAs a result\, glass is found in the nature. There’s a diverse collection of objects  whether it’s stained glass\, fibre glass\, lamp work glass or neon glass with some of the exhibits for sale also. Some of note include Róisín de Buitléar and Alisa Shakor’s Breaking News\, Valerie Rey’s Respect\, Hilde de Rooij’s Memories and Krista Israel’s Without Title. It’s glass! \nCoach House Gallery at Dublin Castle until August 20

SUMMARY:Person Presence Perception
DESCRIPTION:Of course\, first and foremost\, the star attraction here will always be the Casino which was designed by Sir William Chambers in the late eighteenth-century as a neoclassical pleasure house for James Caulfeild\, 1st Earl of Charlemont. Ceres and Bacchus hold dominion from the roof above four Egyptian lions\, winged satyrs\, ox skulls and mysterious twin-tailed merfolk perched on the roof’s two urns. Take in one of their daily tours at 10am\, 12am\, 2pm and 4pm (until the end of October) and learn about the intricacies of the building such as the fasces moulding of a bundle of rods with an axe which we discovered is where the word fascism derives from. (thanks Robert) \n \nWithin the building you will find 41 works owned by either the OPW or Department of Finance which are themed around people within the deceptively large number of rooms. There’s Becks Butler’s ‘Loopies Field’ series which we featured In the Frame in 2020. Christopher Banahan’s ‘Lizzie in Interior’ sits atop a walnut cabinet in the China Closet framed by hand-painted Chinese wallpaper (lead photo). Amanda Doran’s ‘Beast Mode’\, Garry Loughlin’s ‘Evdokia’ and Mónika Bögyös ‘Untitled’ caught our attention whether seen beside gold painted Ionic fluted (grooved) columns or with Apollo’s head emerging from a sunburst in the ceiling. As you do.

SUMMARY:Nuala O’Donovan: Process - a living thing
DESCRIPTION:Nuala O’Donovan makes sculptural work using porcelain clay. Her pieces are built from thousands of individual handmade components based on patterns from living forms\, “My starting points are detailed drawings of plants\, shells and seeds. In order that the form of the finished work is consistent with the qualities of the source material\, I use a set of constraints based on a combination of regular and irregular geometric principles which are found in nature.” Intricately beautiful.  \nDean Arts Studio\, June 17-26\, 12pm – 6pm

SUMMARY:Mario Sughi: Give me a ring tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:We’ve known Mario for a long time now. The Italian painter and illustrator moved here in the late ‘80s having previously worked as a cartoonist in Italian satirical magazines. His father Alberto was hailed as one of the finest painters of his generation. Besides rocking a pair of shades\, Mario is also gifted. \nHis colour-popping work accentuates femininity – lips protrude\, eyes lock focus and legs are limber. Give me a ring tomorrow has Mario pair his work with an accompanying essay of sensual intrigue as a cleaner called Maria inserts herself into the lives of a couple. \nUnited Arts Club\, Thursday June 8 – Sunday July 2.

DESCRIPTION:Peter Gordon has been visiting Glendalough at night for the past 10 years wandering around in the darkness with his camera and a video light. This new exhibition of still photography also includes a timelapse piece accompanied by Moderat’s Reminder. There’s an anchoring of nature in the other-worldliness of its setting as light and shade dance their dance. \nMart Gallery\, Rathmines\, Wednesday May 17 until Saturday May 27. \n

SUMMARY:193rd RHA Annual Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The annual blockbuster enters its home run. Akin to Culture Night for art\, it’s a one-stop chance to see what is being created right now and what is deemed worthy of notice and reflective of disciplines by the selection committee. The RHA is also celebrating its bicentenary which adds a little more heft. Everyone can weigh in with their opinion but the most valuable input one can have is by going to see the works\, appreciating the craft\, broadening your visual art horizons and  forming an opinion or simply experiencing. \nRHA until Sunday July 30

SUMMARY:Lavinia Fontana: Trailblazer\, Rule Breaker
DESCRIPTION:It’s funny to observe how the naming of exhibitions are pivoting towards contemporary appeal. We happened to be in Antwerp last month and spotted a poster for ‘Baroque Influencers’. Now we have Lavinia Fontana who is a ‘trailblazer’. The late sixteenth-century Bolognese artist is best known for her successful portraiture\, but also worked in the genres of mythology and religious painting. \n \nThis tentpole summer exhibition in the National Gallery will explore Fontana’s extraordinary life through her paintings and drawings\, offering insight into the cultural climate that enabled the artist to flourish as a female artist of the period. This will be the first monographic exhibition to examine Fontana’s work in almost three decades\, and the first to focus on her portraits. \n \nNational Gallery until Sunday August 27\, €8-€18. \nWednesday Mornings: 9.15am – 11.30am all tickets free. \nThursday Evenings: 5pm – 7.15pm all tickets €5.

SUMMARY:Irish Gothic - Patricia Hurl
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to catch this major retrospective on the work of Patricia Hurl. Spanning over 40 years and featuring over 70 of the artist’s expressionist paintings and drawings. Hurl’s oeuvre is by nature political  and\, since the 1980s\, her work has explored loss\, pain\, frustration and loneliness. Hurl is part of the Na Cailleacha collective who explore being female\, older and attendant stereotypes. “There is a certain haunting simplicity in the gesture of each stoke and an understanding of the gestural power which fills each canvas\,” says museum director Annie Fletcher about Hurl’s work. \nIMMA until May 21.

SUMMARY:Robert Armstrong -  After mountains\, more mountains
DESCRIPTION:“For a certain kind of painter\, painting is a process. Of course\, making a painting is necessarily a process\, usually one that delivers a finished work. But for some\, perhaps many painters\, the finished work is less a conclusion than a question. Robert Armstrong tends to see all paintings\, not just his own\, in terms of the questions they pose. \nHence\, his work has consistently incorporated a kind of running commentary on painting. Most obviously\, perhaps\, he has made works that explicitly address works made in the past\, notably during the Renaissance\, though not at all because they are historically distanced. Rather he is drawn to the way the painters in any era set about making the pictures they make. And he gravitates towards the residual questions lurking in apparent pictorial coherence: the gaps\, the oddities\, the tacit assumptions.” – Aidan Dunne.

DESCRIPTION:While Clarke has pivoted to being an award-winning sculptor\, he revisits his original grá for illustration with this new body of work\, the first show in over a decade.

SUMMARY:Dreams of Childhood 
DESCRIPTION:GalleryX’s first curated group show of 2023 is dedicated to the idea of childhood\, “that magical time of our lives in which the boundary between the real\, the possible\, and the imaginary cross and are blurred; in which we can believe anything\, and in which we can make things real just by believing them.

SUMMARY:From Georgia with Love
DESCRIPTION:Elena Tsomaia is a Stockholm-based\, Georgian curator of From Georgia With Love\, an exhibition of the work of Tbilisi-based artist Keti Davlianidze. Elena got in touch back on January 2 asking for our support in assisting her ambition to host these love themed works.  \nThere’s something wonderful about the lengths Tsomaia is going to in order to promote “Georgian art and the country at large.” And as the Rose Revolution\, which ushered in a nonviolent change of power there 20 years ago\, shows signs of wilting midst a weakened civil society and democracy recently culminating in a contentious Russian-inspired foreign agent law\, this is a timely reminder of the bigger picture we all need to see. \nIrish Georgian Society\, April 20-22.

SUMMARY:Venus Patel - Monsters of the Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:Monsters of the Apocalypse acts as a queer reimagining of the end of the world\, as well as a proposal for what a new one might look like. Using the language and presentation of radical preachers as well as her own experience living as a transfemme of color within a Eurocentric heteronormative society\, Patel investigates how the monstrous body (the “other”) can be used to create fear and revulsion\, but also as a site of exploration and societal growth. In us\, we all have a monster waiting to get out\, but to find them\, we must die\, and we must be reborn. Patel scooped the top prize at the 2022 RDS Visual Arts Award and this show forms part of Pallas’s artist-initiated project series. \nPallas Projects/Studios until Thursday April 28\, closing event performance The Preacher’s Sermon that night at 6pm. \nRead more:\nRDS Visual Art winners announced

SUMMARY:Carl Hickey - Everything and Nothing 
DESCRIPTION:There’s a vibrant bounce to Carl Hickey’s body of work. The young Clondalkinite pops a green on a gable end\, puts pink and blue wigs into a scene which could be either neighbourhood pleasantries or Funny Games\, there’s the brilliant Garda caught on his phone and transferred to canvas. It’s the well recognised\, slightly pathetic\, mid run of a pointless pursuit. Hickey’s observations live and breath the city\, someone glaringly Dublin\, some more intimate and isolated. \n Atelier Now\, March 16-April 1.

SUMMARY:Declan Clarke: The Museum of Broadcasting and Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Comprising of two elements – Saturn and Beyond is a film tracing the history of transcontinental communication and broadcasting using slide film\, video footage and analogue photography. Pondering the development of how telecommunications and air travel led to the exploration of the solar system\, Clarke’s gaze stretches to the furthest reaches of Saturn as well as the exponential growth of Alzheimer’s disease and the rapid growth of dementia (10m each year).  \nThe second aspect are transmission and receiver objects from the Museum which was founded by his father in 1981\, running for 15 years before going into storage until Clarke unearthed them in 2017. His father ended up developing dementia to which Clarke says\, “For me there was a metaphorical and tragic irony to the fact the founder of a museum of broadcasting and communications would develop a disease which would mean he could no longer communicate.” \nRHA until March 26

SUMMARY:'Why be an artist?' (after Leigh Hobba and Noel Sheridan)
DESCRIPTION:It is utterly apt to have this all consuming question planted before the next generation of aspiring artists whilst paying homage to the late director of NCAD\, Noel Sheridan. His performance work filmed by Hobba in ’94 explored the reasons to pursue this path\, stating “if you do art as a second choice it will show in the work” and “you must be oppositional to any manifestations of the superstructure” and while you must do bargains with all of these\, meeting their agendas will never benefit your work. \nHere Oísín Byrne and Vaari Claffey revisit the framework with practising visual artists invited to respond to Sheridan’s provocations. We have the likes of Isadora Epstein using magic as her prism of exploration and Gary Farrelly stating that\, “problems are the bread and butter of an artist to cultivate and not resolve” and that they must use their “radical egocentric disposition to believe whatever they want to believe is true.” Essential pondering. \nNCAD Gallery until February 15. \nTalks series \nTuesday 31st January 2023\, 1.15PM\nA Walk-Through the Archive with Valerie Connor \nTuesday 7th February 2023\, 1.15PM\nWhy Be A Curator\nVaari Claffey\, Why be a curator? response to the ‘Why be an artist?

SUMMARY:Maser - Lost Time\, Found Again
DESCRIPTION:‘Lost time\, found again’ is an ambitious collection of original paintings by Maser. With this new collection\, comes a new chapter. A fusion of techniques and ideas\, honed over the last 25 years. The push and pull of time is a key narrative in this collection. With family and work at the heart of Maser’s life\, these paintings illustrate the search for equal balance across each day. The movement of energies\, the rearranging of priorities and the creation of harmony. \n  \nMaser’s paintings are a balancing act of colour\, layers and form. With each element representing a different construct of life – time\, balance\, expectations. The ambitious endeavour to keep everything afloat. Maser’s graphic eye leads the creative process with captivating compositions. While his expertise in street art\, and fine art\, bring looser forms to the canvas. Each canvas pinpoints a fleeting moment of energy and focus in daily life. \n“These paintings illustrate the search for equal balance across each day. The movement of energies\, the rearranging of priorities and the creation of harmony.” \nThe paintings display a graphic balance of forms and colour\, with clusters of busy lines creating a focal point to draw the viewer in. These clusters pinpoint fleeting moments of energy. In some paintings they feel somewhat chaotic\, and in others they bring harmony and ease to the composition. Eluding to the ebb and flow of life. Maser’s signature use of black forms\, usually painted as the final layer\, fuses the segments of the painting together. They unify the artwork within the boundaries of the canvas\, to create a visual snapshot of time. \nRuns until November 14.

SUMMARY:Arthur Jafa - Love is the Message\, the Message Is Death
DESCRIPTION:“A head-spinning seven-minute compilation of joy\, pain and harsh fact” is how the New York Times described Arthur Jafa’s Love Is the Message\, the Message Is Death\, a video work by artist\, director\, and award-winning cinematographer Arthur Jafa which first premiered in 2017 and receives its Irish debut in partnership with the Form Foundation. \nSet to the searing highs and lows of Kanye West’s gospel-inspired hip-hop track\, Ultralight Beam\, it is a masterful convergence of found footage that traces African-American identity through a vast spectrum of contemporary imagery. \nFrom photographs of civil rights leaders watermarked with “Getty Images” to helicopter views of the LA Riots to a wave of bodies dancing to ‘The Dougie\,’ it suspends viewers in a swelling\, emotional montage. \nWed – Sun\, Gallery closed Monday and Tuesday. See their website for further details. \nDouglas Hyde Gallery until November 6.
