Closing Event + Artist Talk: Condition, Matter, Effect: ATMOSPHERES II
Closing event of the exhibition and Artist Talk with Felicity Clear, Kiera O’Toole and Mary-Ruth Walsh
We cordially invite you to the finissage and artist talk of the exhibition Condition, Matter, Effect: ATMOSPHERES II!
As a part of the closing event there will be an Artist Talk with the involved artists about the exhibition and their work.
Addressing the ‘conditions’, ‘matters’ and ‘affects’ of atmospheres the artists Felicity Clear, Kiera O’Toole and Mary-Ruth Walsh variously employ the drawn or diagrammatic line to trace the force and movement of materials in the formation of atmospheric environments, landscape and spaces.
Taking us on a journey through matter, movement, weather, atmosphere and surface the artists within Atmospheres II present a philosophical and ecological series of works that interweave bodies, minds, landscapes, topologies and design in a correspondence and movement of lines towards the future. Each artist demonstrates differently that atmosphere, is not ‘set over against perceivers but co-mingles with, and saturates their consciousness, wherein it is generative of their own capacity to perceive’… and revision, the potential of drawing.

The exhibition is a curatorial collaboration with Drawing deCentered, Ireland and part of Zeitgeist Ireland 24, which celebrates the richness and diversity of contemporary Irish culture in 2024.
