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:20240613T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240613T190000 DTSTAMP:20260604T014525 CREATED:20260514T103741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103741Z UID:41192-1718305200-1718305200@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:AUTHOR COLM TÓIBÍN IN CONVERSATION DESCRIPTION:Dungarvan Library.

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:20240528T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240528T183000 DTSTAMP:20260604T014525 CREATED:20260514T103741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103741Z UID:41191-1716921000-1716921000@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:TUESDAY NIGHT TALKS WITH OLLIE BRESLIN AND KEITH CURRAMS DESCRIPTION:CAPTURING WATERFORD’S STORIES\nArdkeen Library.

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.

She has performed and studied contemporary dance under Naoko Ito in Tokyo and has trained in improvisation under Adam Benjamin.

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… URL:https://waterfordarts.com/event/new-horizon-ciaran-bowen-official-launch/ CATEGORIES:Art.,Exhibition,Goma Gallery of Modern Art ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://waterfordarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/NEW-HORISON-CIARAN-BOWEN-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231222T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240118T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T014525 CREATED:20260514T103811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T103811Z UID:41199-1703232000-1705597200@waterfordarts.com SUMMARY:OPEN CALL | EXHIBITION PROGRAMME 2025/26 DESCRIPTION:GOMA GALLERY OF MODERN ART. DEADLINE – 18TH of January 2024 AT 5PM\nGOMA Gallery is currently welcoming submissions for available dates in its 2025/2026 programme.

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.

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.

Adapted for the stage from Donal Ryan’s Booker Prize nominated novel\, the drama comes to Waterford as part of a major 18-venue tour crisscrossing Ireland in May and June.\nThe world premiere production in the 2022 Galway International Arts Festival garnered critical praise with The Irish Independent saying\, “Not a moment\, a nuance\, a gesture is less than perfect throughout\, as each of the characters in turn drag the heart from your body… This play will haunt you.”\nFrom a Low and Quiet Sea is a carefully crafted portrait of the intersecting lives of four characters\, each searching for a version of home. From war–torn Syria to small–town Ireland\, they are scarred by all they have loved and lost and are drawn towards a powerful reckoning that will bring them together in the most unexpected of ways.\nFor Farouk\, family is all. He has protected his wife and daughter from the war. If they stay\, they will lose their freedom. If they flee\, they will lose all they have known of home\, for a faraway land across the merciless sea.\nLampy is distracted. He’s with Eleanor\, but she’s not Chloe. His granddad’s sniping jokes are getting on his wick. And on top of all that\, he has a bus to drive; those old folks from the home can’t wait all day.\nFor John\, the game was always the lifeblood coursing through his veins. Manipulating people for enrichment\, for enjoyment\, for spite. But it was never enough. As the lifeblood is slowing down\, will God listen?\nFlorence’s son is acting differently which forces her to look for answers\, but she is afraid of the truth that lies within herself.\nThe adaptation of Ryan’s acclaimed novel is a collaboration between the author\, the original cast\, and Decadent Theatre Company’s Artistic Director\, Andrew Flynn\, who also directs.  Aosaf Afzal [Farouk] and Darragh O’Toole [Lampy] will reprise their roles from last year’s production. Denis Conway\, recently seen in Hangmen\, has joined the cast as John and Eva Bartley will play Florence.\nBoth natives of Nenagh\, Co. Tipperary\, Andrew Flynn and Donal Ryan have form as creative collaborators. Flynn\, along with Jarlath Tivnan\, adapted Ryan’s novel\, The Thing About December\, for the stage in 2019.\nRyan is the author of six best-selling novels\, most recently The Queen of Dirt Island [2022]\, and a short story collection. His debut novel\, The Spinning Heart [2013]\, was also nominated for the Booker Prize and was voted Irish Book of the Decade in 2016 in a nationwide poll run by Dublin Book Festival. His many awards include the European Union Prize for Literature\, the Guardian First Book Award\, and three Irish Book Awards.\nHis books have been translated into more than twenty languages. He lectures in Creative Writing at the University of Limerick.\nAndrew Flynn has been Artistic Director of Decadent Theatre Company since 2000. One of Ireland’s busiest directors\, he is currently preparing for the Irish premiere of Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen\, which is a co-production between Decadent and Gaiety Productions running in Dublin and Galway from 11 March to 15 April.  Andrew’s most recent directorial work for Decadent includes the Autumn 2022 tour of Jimmy Murphy’s The Chief and the Spring 2022 tour of David Harrower’s Blackbird.\nFlynn’s other work includes Eden; A Love Like That; The Thing About December; Pumpgirl; Port Authority; The Mai; A Skull in Connemara; Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me; Wit; and for Gaiety Productions\, Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan\, The Lieutenant of Inishmore and The Lonesome West.\nAndrew Flynn and Donal Ryan were recipients of a 2021 Elevate bursary grant to adapt and workshop the script of From a Low and Quiet Sea.\nDecadent Theatre Company gratefully acknowledges the support of the Arts Council of Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon and Galway County Council.\nGarter Lane Arts Centre 22 O’Connell Street Waterford.
