SUMMARY:Audio-Described Tour: Joseph Heffernan | ‘where oxlips and the nodding violet grows’
DESCRIPTION:Join us at GOMA Waterford on Thursday 28 May from 11.00am–12.30pm for a special audio descriptive tour of ‘where oxlips and the nodding violet grows’\, a solo exhibition of work by Joseph Heffernan at GOMA Waterford\, led by the exhibition’s curator Aideen Quirke. This tour takes place as part of the 2026 Bealtaine Festival\, Ireland’s national festival celebrating the arts and ageing. \n  \nAudio descriptive tours are designed to make art accessible to everyone. In this tour\, Aideen will guide visitors through the exhibition with rich\, detailed verbal descriptions of the works\, bringing the visual world of the show into vivid focus for visitors who are blind\, have low vision\, or are experiencing difficulties with their vision. \n  \nAs well as describing the works themselves\, the tour will offer insight into their artistic and thematic significance\, providing a deeper understanding of Heffernan’s layered and symbol-rich practice. \n  \nAideen Quirke is independent curator and artist from Co Tipperary\, based in Cork City. \n  \nAll welcome | Free admission \n‘𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘅𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀’ 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗢𝗠𝗔 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟵 𝗠𝗮𝘆 – 𝟲 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 \nAbout Joseph Heffernan: \n  \nJoseph Heffernan is an Irish artist based in Backwater Artist Studios\, Cork. Working across painting\, drawing\, text and assemblage/installation his practice is concerned with identity\, rituals\, performance and how memory is constructed. \n  \nHeffernan’s sculptural work uses found\, antique and reclaimed materials to examine how objects can carry meaning. They are often devotional in nature and question how we chose to assign significance to things in order to construct and poeticise personal narratives. These assemblages and installations provide a theatrical setting for his paintings\, drawings and texts. \n  \nHis current body of work and upcoming exhibition ‘where oxlips and the nodding violet grows’ imagines a speculative narrative dominated by a game referred to as ‘The Ceremony of the Flowers’. While the rules of this game are only alluded to they seem to be an abstract synthesis of poetry\, mathematics and esoteric knowledge that envisage the world as an abstruse place full of elaborate rituals involving obscure signs and symbols. It functions as an intercessor of sorts between the mundanity of the world and the quasi divine. In the process the work asks questions about belief and the things that we chose to put our faith in. \nGOMA website: ‘where oxlips and the nodding violet grows’ | Joseph Heffernan \nJoseph Heffernan website \nJoseph Heffernan Instagram \n  \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…

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…

SUMMARY:NEW HORIZON | CIARAN BOWEN. OFFICIAL LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:Goma Gallery of Modern Art. 13th January 2024\n10TH JANUARY – 4TH FEBRUARY 2024\nOfficial opening: Saturday 13th January at 4pm\, GOMA 6 Lombard Street Waterford Ciaran Bowen’s current body of work focuses on the process of materiality of paint; he manipulates and pushes the paint through a variety of processes. 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). His work is also held in public and private collections including Carlow IT (2015)\, Wexford County Council (2019) and Wexford Arts Centre (2018 & 2021). As well as private collections in Ireland\, United Kingdom and USA.\nCiaran Bowen is the Winner of the Solo Show 2022/2023 GOMA Gallery of Modern Art Award selected by Artforms Annual Exhibition selection panel judges: Eamon Colman\, Maurice Quillinan and Gabhann Dunne. \nCONTACT\n6 Lombard St\, Waterford\nt: 087 196 1923\ne: gomawaterford@gmail.com \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…

SUMMARY:ALL FLESH
DESCRIPTION:Venue: GOMA Gallery Waterford\nDates:14 October – 25 November 2023\nAll Flesh is a new exhibition by artist Gillian O’Shea. 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.

SUMMARY:SPIDER TREE BY BEN REILLY
DESCRIPTION:Spider Tree\nSpider Tree refers to a particular gnarly old yew tree that to me\, particularly in winter\, looks like a long legged circular Black spider. 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…

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. She is a member of Sample Studios\, Backwater Artists Group and Cork Printmakers\nGOMA\, 6/7 LOMBARD STREET\, WATERFORD\nContact\n6 Lombard St\, Waterford\nt:087 196 1923\ne:gomawaterford@gmail.com \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…
