While each carries the distinctive marks and gestures of each of the five artists of S/TAC\, the whole work is unified through over printing using colour and stencilled motifs which reference a connecting theme of exposure and masking of internal body organs. The collaborative installation acts as a symbol of shelter\, connectedness and intersection which overtly plays with notions of ‘life on view’\, private versus public\, acts of display and exposure\, domesticity and ‘women’s work’…\nDeveloping this concept\, in The Ties that Bind\, the clothesline can signify a variety of feminist and feminised ideas and is a deep reaching metaphor for the ties that bind families\, communities and women together. Strung together it becomes a symbol of the chaos and intersection of lives and cultures within an imposed vertical grid. The lines can be seen to embody twin notions of shelter/ exposure; concealment/revelation; reality/fiction; conscious/unconscious.\nAccompanying these collaborative works are a selection of pieces by each of the artists which provide some hints and suggestion to the particular significance/resonance to each and how that feeds into and is nourished by the participation and collaboration of a collective.\nCurated by Jenna Whelan.\nAbout the CollectiveThe Shell/ter Artist Collective (S/TAC) evolved organically during the pandemic 2020 and was driven by a desire of the artists to talk about the effects\, both personal and professional\, of a shifting and unpredictable world. In this dynamic space the artists found ways to explore\, enrich and diversify their independent practice while supporting one another. The Collective explores the concept of shelter from emotional\, psychological\, and philosophical perspectives and previous exhibitions include ‘Shelter’ at the National Gallery of Ireland 2023 and ‘The ladder is always there’ in Draiocht in 2023/2024. Shared identity\, common purpose and egalitarian values underpin much of the desire to work as a group\, and the nature of this engagement continues to shift and develop.\nDiana Copperwhite (RHA) is a member of Aosdána and draws particular inspiration from early Irish modernism. Her paintings explore the relationship between colours\, gestures\, figuration\, and representation. She gives structure to the unseen world of atoms and molecules to examine the psychological and spatial interpretation of self. Layering fragmented sources that range from personal memory to science\, media and internet\, Copperwhite’s canvases become worlds in which the real is unreal and this unreality is in a constant state of reforming.\nhttp://www.dianacopperwhite.net\nAllyson Keehan is an Irish visual artist based between Ireland and Scotland. She was awarded PhD in Fine Art from Glasgow School of Art in 2021 titled ‘Painting and Materiality: Three Creative Strategies for Transformation’. Her research is in the expanded field of painting and the use of drapery in art. Looking closely at veiling and artifice\, her practice incorporates drapery and framing to create complex structural experiences of real and imaginary spaces. Drapery has a wealth of history relating to painting and these propositions amplify the experience of viewing and understanding.\nhttp://www.allysonkeehan.ie\n \nNiamh McGuinne‘s practice combines print\, sculpture\, textile\, film and installation. The immersive nature of her background in paper conservation working with historical collections informs this art practice. Conceptually she is interested in the body as the protector\, a shell in which to develop…and how time and growth are marked and interpreted. Her work has an element of the performative\, either as a space or as costume in which to interact\, which present an invitation to participate – physically or imaginatively.\nhttp://www.niamhmcguinne.com\nSharon Murphy is visual artist based between Dublin and Paris whose practice is lens-based incorporating photography\, video\, installation and drawing. Her work investigates the boundaries between the seen / unseen\, fictive / real\, conscious / (sub)liminal. Drawing on a background in theatre and informed by concepts in magic realism and psychoanalysis\, recurring motifs in her work include: theatre curtains; carousels; circus tents\, performative sites; embodied staged spaces. Her works address uncertainty\, the uncanny\, the ‘there / not there’\, linked to an investigation\, quintessential to both photography and performance of what it is the viewer is shown or is seeing.\nhttp://www.sharonmurphy.ie\nGeraldine O’Neill (RHA) is a member of Aosdána and has a particular respect for and understanding of the techniques and visual language used in the history of art. She has long responded to the increasing confrontation with human engagement and relationship with the ecosystem\, in particular the Anthropocene whose traces are now embedded within the geological layers of the Earth’s structure. Playing with incongruities of time and space\, she juxtaposes traditional references with scientific reasoning and contemporary perspective in large-scale and small scale compositions. Her works address protection and shelter from a domestic and environmental viewpoint to emphasise the fragility of life.\nhttp://www.geraldineoneill.ie\nGOMA Gallery of Modern Art\n6 Lombard Street\nWaterford\, Ireland\nT: +353 87 1961923 \nSharing & Printing\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://waterfordarts.com/event/the-ties-that-bind-shell-ter-artist-collective-s-tac/ CATEGORIES:Art.,Artist's Gallery,Goma Gallery of Modern Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240608T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240713T000000 DTSTAMP:20260619T152818 CREATED:20260514T103741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103741Z UID:41190-1717862400-1720828800@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:FOLLY / FACADE CIARA RODGERS DESCRIPTION:Official Launch at GOMA: Saturday 8th June\, 4pm\nFolly | Façade – Ciara Rodgers\n8th June – 13th July 2024\nGOMA presents Folly | Façade\, an exhibition by visual artist Ciara Rodgers.\nOfficial Opening on Saturday the 8th of June at 4pm.\nCities\, understood and experienced as spaces that are made and remade according to principles directed by capitalism\, leave behind debris and distortions\, literally and metaphorically\, which no longer fit the modus operandi.\nDriven by a feeling of potential and liberation whilst walking alone in the city\, Rodgers’ viewpoint of a female urban wanderer\, or flaneûse contemplates the urban spectacle in all its contradictions\, fluctuations and fragilities. Her reflective material responses are shaped by personal experiences and the self determination of Arte Povera and D.I.Y. Punk music movements.\nThis exhibition prompts the viewer to consider texture\, colour\, structure\, openings and accidents in the city. Precarious\, ephemeral pseudo-architectural structures and drawings exist in a state of flux; bundled\, propped\, and balanced\, whilst Polaroids act as witness to moments of discovery. Folly | Façadelays the foundation for a deeper academic research project that will create new knowledge in the embodied experience of public spaces and structures\, reimagining ordinary building blocks and rubble to construct alternative orders and meaning.\nCurated by Aideen Quirke. \nSharing & Printing\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://waterfordarts.com/event/folly-facade-ciara-rodgers/ CATEGORIES:Art.,Exhibition,Goma Gallery of Modern Art ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://waterfordarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/folly-facade-banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240522T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240530T000000 DTSTAMP:20260619T152818 CREATED:20260514T103740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103740Z UID:41189-1716336000-1717027200@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:JAPANESE BLACK INK PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS ONLNE PROGRAM: ENROLMENT WINDOW NOW OPEN DESCRIPTION:Online event.

Through painting and drawing I explore visual expressions of the beauty of enacted truth in gesture\, movement and temporality.\nPainting and drawing is an embodied practice for me and is informed by over twenty years of meditation and reflection in the Vietnamese Zen Tradition.”\nCaroline Bowles has a B.A. (Honors) in Fine Art from The Crawford College of Art and Design\, a Licentiate in Chinese medicine from Nanjing University\, China and is a trained musician. She has received purchase awards from PMI\, MTU\, Sample Studios Graduate Associate Member Award 2023\, Backwater Artists Network Award 2023 and Waterford City and County Council Bursary in 2023.

By combining paint with industrial materials\, it allows the surface of the work to be moved outside the four cornered canvas and blur the space between what is painting and what is a sculpture. His work is non-representational focusing more on composition\, form and colour and how they acquire the space that they hang in to be investigated by the viewer\nAbout the Artist: Ciaran Bowen (b. 1990) is an artist based in Wexford. He achieved his BA (Hons) in Fine Art from SETU Wexford in 2015.\nHis work predominantly focuses on the materiality of paint and how it can be manipulated and pushed through a variety of processes. By combining the paint with industrial materials\, it allows the surface of the work to be moved outside the constraints of traditional painting. By drying sheets of paint\, he manipulates them by cutting\, collaging\, printing and flooding the surface of the work. It is not only about the surface of the work but the interplay of materials/ forms and how they intersect.\nRecent shows include: (2023) The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition\, London\, (2023/2022) RHA Annual Exhibition\, Dublin\, (2023) Cape Sacred\, West Wales Art Center and (2022) A Slight Hiccup\, La Grange Gallery\, France. He was a recipient of the “Making and Momentum: In Conversation with Eileen Gray” Artist Prize (2022) awarded by Fashion designer Richard Malone as well as the Artlinks Bursary Award (2022).

The official launch will take place at GOMA Waterford on Saturday 14th October from 4–6pm. All are welcome!\nAll Flesh is a new site specific multi-sensory textile installation and video work by Irish artist Gillian O’Shea. Through multi-layered installations sculpture\, colour\, film and sound merge\, transporting us to an uneasy confluence of opposing realities. These created environments invite visitors to experience\, consider and reflect on our ambivalent attitudes to the natural environment.\nThis work is inspired by the artist’s investigations of the often forgotten and unseen intrinsic importance of fungi and lichens in stabilising networks of living relationships. These humble organisms are intrinsically connected to vast networks of life on earth\, including our own. Yet\, to most of us they are inconsequential.\nCoarse\, fleshy organisms intertwine and penetrate the troposphere\, swaddling each vascular network\, protecting the almighty mycelial network. This is the living subterranean seam by which our world is connected\, regardless of and despite our interventions.\n‘Pulse’ is a 4-minute-long video piece\, central to the exhibition. This multi-projection of film immerses the visitor in a dystopian representation of the future. Drawing on the ombre chinois’s tradition of shadow play paper mechanical links create a pulley system\, using the greenhouse as a motif of human intervention. They are inevitably devoured by the very operating system that created them.\nAll Flesh will be exhibited in the Gallery of Modern Art Waterford (GOMA) from 14th October to 25th November 2023. This work will also form the gallery’s submission for the Imagine Festival Waterford which will take place in October 2023.\nFor more details see: www.gomawaterford.ie / 051 582633\nGOMA Gallery of Modern Art\, 6 Lombard Street\, Waterford.

In the summer\, it fills out into a sort of glowing circle that has the look of a very hairy dogs head. This Tree became my start point for drawings during that period of restricted walking. At first\, I used these Drawings and photos in photo etching but for the last year and a half\, I have been working on them through Sculpture and they have now developed into this small forest.\nCast wax\, and Bronze\, carved\, wood\, welded mild steel\, Pasted Gold leaf. Glued screwed and bolted bits and pieces form the basis of most of the Sculpture pieces. The prints are Photo Etching and Spit Bite\, on Hahnemuhle Natural White.\nSat 23rd Sep – Sat 18th Nov 2023. 11am-5.30pm\nGarter Lane Arts Centre\, 22a O’Connell Street Waterford.\ntel :0035351855038 E.Mail: ticket@garterlane.ie \nSpider Tree by Ben Reilly \n \nSharing & Printing\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://waterfordarts.com/event/spider-tree-by-ben-reilly/ CATEGORIES:Art.,Exhibition,Garter Lane ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://waterfordarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ben-Reilly-tile-451x650-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230902T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231008T000000 DTSTAMP:20260619T152818 CREATED:20260514T103842Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103842Z UID:41213-1693641600-1696723200@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:WITHOUT BORDERS ANGELA GILMORE DESCRIPTION:GOMA 2ND SEPTEMBER – 8TH OCTOBER 2023\nWithout Borders encompasses many aspects of the research carried out by artist Angela Gilmour during a residency sailing the Arctic waters around Svalbard’s archipelago in 2019.\nCoastlines are at the root of many conflicts\, international crises\, and wars. The strategic role of coastlines\, their value as economic commodities\, and disagreements over fishing rights\, often cause rifts between neighbouring countries.\nOccupation of seemingly insignificant land masses (tiny islands\, flood plains\, marshland) can potentially lead to war. Refugees risk their lives to reach coastlines across the world. Some coastlines are more politically complex than others\, strategically important or more scientifically significant. Svalbard is one such land mass\, which lies at the nexus of politics\, science\, and Earth’s climatic changes\, even though it’s located in one of the most inaccessible areas on the planet\, high in the Arctic\, a mere 10 degrees latitude from the North Pole.\nIn theory\, Svalbard has no borders. No visa is required to live there\, though there are laws prohibiting giving birth or dying on the archipelago. Also known as the world’s thermostat\, Svalbard is home to the most northerly science research centre on Earth. Scientists recently recorded the highest Arctic temperatures on record at a Svalbard outpost. Svalbard is also rich in oil and minerals\, and it is one of only a few places in the world where whale hunting is still legal.\nSvalbard’s delicate environment is vulnerable to commercial development and an explosive increase in tourism has led to a growing environmental crisis. Having no indigenous people\, the inhabitants come from all corners of the earth\, many of whom made their home there to escape persecution and poverty in their homelands.\nWithout Borders encompasses many aspects of research carried out by the artist during a residency sailing the coast of Svalbard’s archipelago in 2019. The exhibition brings together etchings\, paintings\, photography and installation to highlight the complex interweaving of political and environmental issues in the Arctic\, and serving as a basis for discussion on broader worldwide issues encompassing climate change\, land possession and border politics.\nAbout the Artist\nOriginally from Scotland and formerly a physicist\,  Angela Gilmour now lives and works as a visual artist in Cork. Gilmour’s interests and artistic practice surround the urgency of climate change\, land consumption\, sustainability and the political and environmental impact of land and sea borders. She explores landscapes that have suffered trauma in recent or deep geological time.\nGilmour has exhibited nationally and internationally with shows across Europe\, America and Australia. Recent exhibitions include: Points of Return\, The Umbrella Arts Centre\, Massachusetts\, America:  Shadow Forests\, Lord Mayor’s Pavilion\, Ireland; Woman Artists in the Arctic\, Espace des Femmes Gallery\, Paris; Weather the Weather\, New York Hall of Science\, America\, Postcards from the edges\, Gaffa Gallery\, Sydney\, Australia\, Environmental Crisis\, Gerald Moore Gallery\, London\, (RE)Thinking the Earth\, Lisbon National Library\, Portugal and Arctica: the last fragments\, Studio 12 Gallery\, Cork\, Ireland.\nHer work is represented in private and public collections  including: the Office of Public Works for the Irish State Collection; University College Cork; Manly Art Gallery and Museum\, Australia; New York Hall of Science (Sciart Initiative); European Research Centre Tyndall National Institute and Irish Photonics Integration Centre.

This year\, two artists have been chosen for the award: Maia De Faveri of SETU Waterford and Caroline Bowles of MTU Crawford College.\nAbout Caroline Bowles\nCaroline Bowles\, a recent graduate of MTU Crawford College of Art & Design\, is a recipient of the GOMA Exhibition Award and will showcase her work a GOMA Gallery in 2024. Caroline is a visual artist working in the areas of drawing and painting. She was born in Wicklow\, grew up in Kerry and now lives on the Cork/Waterford border area.\nShe studied animation in Ballyfermot Senior College\, Dublin and Drawing in St. John’s College in Cork\, and is a graduate of Crawford College of Art and Design\, Cork graduating with a B.A. (Honors) in Fine Art.  She has a background as a trained musician\, which is a vital inspiration and stimulus in her art making; Caroline is an All Ireland winning Irish harpist having performed and toured in Australia and played in the National Concert Hall\, Dublin. She has also trained as an acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese Medicine\, completing her studies in Dublin and Nanjing\, China.\nPainting and drawing is an embodied practice for the artist and is informed by over twenty years of meditation and reflection in the Vietnamese Zen Tradition. Her paintings are held in public and private collections in Ireland and Berlin. “My work is mainly figurative and embodied in nature with free-flowing abstracted elements. I use multiple layers of wet and dry drawing and painting media: inks\, acrylic paint washes\, charcoal and pastel on paper and large canvases\, sometimes with audio or video elements. Excavating my own past learnings of study and travel in Asia\, of meditation\, calligraphy\, Qi Gong\, acupuncture practice and music training\, I find myself reimaging figurative and abstract postures which express something of movement\, fluidity and power and how it is held emotionally in the human frame.\nThe embodied act of painting\, touching in just enough to capture the figure in movement\, allowing them to emerge on the canvas until they are barely visible keeps these images gestural\, active and authentic. Through painting and drawing I explore visual expressions of the beauty of enacted truth in gesture\, movement and the passage of time. The dramatic colours and emotional expression of Francis Bacon\, Sargy Mann and Paula Rego as well as the abstract movement of Judith Godwin and Zao Wou-Ki\, all inspire my work.”\n– Caroline Bowles\nAbout Maia De Faveri\nMaia De Faveri a recent graduate of SETU Waterford Visual Arts Department\, is a recipient of the GOMA Exhibition Award and will showcase her work a GOMA Gallery in 2024.\nMaia is originally from Italy\, where she trained in sculpture and mosaic art. She worked for several years as an artist and art teacher in Italy and Mexico. After moving to Ireland and attending the Visual Art course in SETU Waterford\, her art took a new direction\, focusing on creating spaces for people to explore\, interact with\, and find moments of meditation.\n“My installations are like a journey through life\, inspired by the simple wonders of existence\, creativity\, and growth. I find beauty in the mysteries of life’s beginnings and the beautiful chaos of creation. When I create\, I focus on playing\, being a bit random\, and finding a peaceful flow. I don’t limit myself to the usual tools; instead\, I enjoy the challenge of solving problems in my own playful way. Exploring new ways to express myself keeps things exciting. I especially love working with materials I’ve never used before\, especially everyday items designed for something else. It’s like giving these materials a new lease on life\, investing time and energy to transform them into something special.\nMy art is not just about what I see or feel; it’s meant to create a space for others to have their own unique experience. I don’t define that experience; it comes alive through the performances of those who come to see it – how they interact and take it in. Feel free to explore; don’t worry about breaking anything. You’re invited to interact and have fun with and through my works\, just like I do while I create my pieces. The magic happens when you make the space your own”.\n– Maia De Faveri\nhttps://scanner.topsec.com/?d=1500&r=show&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gomawaterford.ie%2Fexhibitions%2Fgrad-award-exhibition-fascia-working-title%2F&t=dbe92e05e32991ee9d0bb044ba6cb9ca3da86da2\nGoma Gallery of Modern Art. 6 Lombard St\, Waterford\, X91 F2XP.
