03 Sep - 02 Oct, 2022
St Carthage Hall, Lismore Co. Waterford
Saturdays & Sundays, 12-5pm.
Curated by Pádraig Spillane, Contradictory Senses explores artistic approaches to modernist legacies with Aideen Barry, Maud Cotter, Robert Dunne, Roseanne Lynch, Orla McKeever, Emma Wolf-Haugh. The exhibition will be accompanied by a text by Sarah Hayden.
The exhibition's vantage point considers the intersections such responses hold toward what shapes the contemporary world. Through tactics of revisiting and reinterpreting, the artworks gathered bring attention to what affects and constructs lived experience.
The exhibition title - Contradictory Senses - is taken from Raymond Williams' examination of the word 'improve' in his 1976 text Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society.
Join us for a tour beginning at 3pm at St. Carthage Hall to see Contradictory Senses, followed by a short walk to see Origins at The Mill, departing St Carthage Hall at 4pm.
