Vertices
Anne Tallentire and Olga Balema
Curated by Mark O'Gorman
Venue: The Mill, Ballyin, Lismore, Co. Waterford, P51 E93A
Opening Reception, 6pm, Friday 14 June, 2024
Vertices brings together two very different artists in discussion over several months in consideration of the unique space at The Mill, with curator Mark O’Gorman. Open Saturdays and Sundays 12pm - 5pm, from 15 June – 18 August.
Anne Tallentire, born in Ireland, now lives and works in London. Her practice seeks to reveal systems that shape the built environment and conditions of daily life. Working with industrial and everyday materials, performative assemblage is key to how she reflects upon dislocation and demarcation in relation to infrastructure.
Olga Balema, is an artist currently based in New York. One of the major concerns of her work is form, which is viewed as another material. Another concern is paying attention to where and how things go into a space. Sometimes the work can be called site respondent, other time it responds only to itself.
Mark O’Gorman is the inaugural curator and producer of visual art at The Complex, a multi-disciplinary arts centre in Dublin’s north inner city, since 2018. The Complex brings a diverse range of arts practitioners and audiences together in a dynamic urban environment. The exhibition programme focuses on commissioning site-specific work with a prolonged developmental process and conversational approach with artists, with an emphasis on hospitality and community building, encouraging experimentation and risk.
Join us for a tour beginning at 5pm at St Carthage Hall to see Veedon Fleece by Lee Mary Manning, with a walk to see Vertices curated by Mark O’Gorman and featuring work by Anne Tallentire and Olga Balema departing at 6pm
