Curatorial Tour of Eilis O'Connell: HAPPENSTANCE
Join us on Sunday, January 18th for a curatorial tour of our current exhibition Eilis O'Connell: HAPPENSTANCE.
Internationally celebrated for her large-scale public works, HAPPENSTANCE offers a deeper insight into Eilis O’Connell’s transformative practice.
This solo exhibition thematically links across O’Connell’s distinguished career to her newly created works; tracing an on-going dialogue with material, form and making across steel, bronze, stone and wood. Her sculptures display a quiet emergence; etiolated shapes that stretch and search like living matter seeking light. Other works explore pattern and balance, reflecting a tension between interior and exterior worlds. Throughout the exhibition, there is an unfolding of organic and geometric form which produce a glimpse of something, an unusual way of seeing.
No specialist knowledge is required. This tour will last approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by time for discussion.
Sunday, January 18, 2 to 3pm.
