Welcome to Temple Bar Gallery + Studios’ 2018 Programme. In this publication we outline five exhibitions for the year, along with information on studio membership and opportunities for artists at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.

Our 2018 Exhibition Programme is representative of diverse practices in five solo exhibitions of new work by three Irish artists and two international artists gaining wide acclaim. We are delighted to be working with Katrina Palmer (UK) on an ambitious new installation, ‘The Time-Travelling Circus: The Recent Return of Pablo Fanque and the Electrolier’, involving an elaborate audio environment and storytelling to evoke an alternative reality; Lola Gonzàlez (FR) will exhibit for the first time in Ireland, following her residency in TBG+S in 2016. Irish artists exhibiting are Stephen Loughman, Hannah Fitz and Ailbhe Ní Bhriain.

The Exhibition Programme is underpinned by compelling performative dimensions where artists draw inspiration from forms including storytelling to the genre of science-fiction. Some of their work has involved them in collaborations with actors, singers, composers and choreographers. Here an interplay between reality and fiction is evident across ambitious and expanded forms of art-making.

Alongside these five exhibitions, we will feature the 8th edition of the annual Dublin Art Book Fair in November, platforming international and Irish publishers, limited editions and more unusual and difficult-to-find artists’ books.

Our exhibition and studio programmes are augmented by TBG+S’ commitment to engaging audiences and connecting them to the work of contemporary artists through an extensive programme of talks, tours, events, performances and screenings. In 2018, our learning and public engagement programmes are greatly enriched with new strands of audience programmes. ‘Making Connections’, for example, aims to offer city dwellers and workers quality encounters with art and arts practice. We are delighted with the generous support of Central Bank of Ireland to continue to develop ‘Creative Generations’ and a new education programme, ‘Five Ways to Make a Sculpture’.

Doireann Ní Ghríofa – a bilingual writer living and working in Cork – will be TBG+S’ fourth commissioned writer. She is invited to write on each of the exhibitions to offer an alternative form of writing on art.

TBG+S would like to acknowledge all our audiences, supporters and funders, and all the artists who we will work with in 2018. We look forward to seeing you many times throughout the year and hope you will enjoy the 2018 Programme.

Katrina Palmer The Time-Travelling Circus: The Recent Return of Pablo Fanque and the Electrolier

Katrina Palmer works with storytelling and audio environments as a form of sculpture. Foregrounding words, as opposed to objects, she refers to absences, often inviting the audience to imagine items indicated, but not fully present.

New work for Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, ‘The Time-Travelling Circus: The Recent Return of Pablo Fanque and the Electrolier’, extends a multi-site project that currently exists as a short story in ‘Essays on Sculpture’ (Henry Moore Institute, 2017) and an intervention at the University of Leeds, Brotherton Library. The cast of characters includes circus proprietor William Darby aka Pablo Fanque and his wife Susannah Darby, who returns as the spectacularly adorned but doomed tight-rope walker, the Electrolier. Working with audio recording, text and architectural floor plans, Palmer invites the audience to experience narrative as a process of reading and entering imagined spaces.

Katrina Palmer’s recent exhibitions include ‘In a dream you saw a way to survive and you were full of joy’ (group show: Hayward Touring, 2017); ‘Stories In Your Mind’ (group: Villa Merkel, Germany, 2017); ‘The three stories are flattened’ (solo: Void Gallery, Derry, 2016); ‘The Necropolitan Line’ (solo: Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, 2015); and ‘Reality Flickers’ (MOT International, London, 2014). Her solo commission for Artangel, ‘End Matter’, combines an audio installation on Portland, Dorset, with a book published by Book Works (2015), and a simultaneous broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Publications include Essays on Sculpture Journal, no.78 (Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, 2017); ‘The Fabricator’s Tale’ (Book Works: London, 2014) and ‘The Dark Object’ (Book Works: London, 2010). Palmer received the Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists, 2014.

Stephen Loughman will present a new exhibition of painting, sculpture and video titled ‘Proven Answers’. The show takes its title from the opening lines to the 1969 film version of Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Illustrated Man’ and uses narrative strands from this film as a basis for the show.

Stephen Loughman’s paintings use imagery mainly sourced from commercial media, paused on his TV screen and meticulously copied and distilled into paintings. Images from science fiction and horror films are “re-edited“ to create a new meaning. This approach lends his works an uncanny and unsettling atmosphere. The images he paints are charged with a strange energy; the feeling that something is about to happen or has already happened and, as Hugo Hamilton has noted, exist in a medium “fictionalised somewhere in the past by culture and commerce”.

Selected solo exhibitions include ‘WI’, Kevin Kavanagh Gallery (2016); Volta NY solo presentation (2012) and 26th São Paulo Biennale (2004). Selected group exhibitions include ‘Hold to the Now’, SLAG Gallery NYC (2015); ‘Last’, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2012) and ‘what happens next is a secret’, IMMA (2010). Stephen Loughman is a three year studio member at TBG+S.

Lola Gonzàlez works in moving image and performance. Her films manifest and unfold like reoccurring dreams, exercising an unsettling hold on the viewer. Using simple visual forms and tropes to question the power and limits of the collective, her narratives are influenced by legends, dreams and popular culture. Gonzàlez often uses sections of performed vocal harmonies, working directly with the performers to compose haunting melodic soundtracks to her films. For Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Lola Gonzalez will show existing work alongside elements from a major new work involving her first feature film. The story of a young man who can no longer believe in the future and who will have to cross different countries, landscapes and meet many people in order to find a way not to despair. Love, language and sight will disappear in order to be reborn stronger.

Lola Gonzàlez was born in 1988 in Angoulême, France and lives in Paris. She is a graduate of the Fine Arts School of Lyon (2012). She is recipient of France’s prestigious Meurice Price 2016 and nominated for Prix Ricard 2017. Her work has been exhibited in several French and international institutions including a solo exhibition at MAC Lyon, Le Crédac, Ivry-sur-Seine, FR (2017); Centre d’art contemporain, Brest, FR (2016); Basis, Frankfurt, DE (2017) and in two-person exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, The Festival Do Disturb, Paris (2016). She has participated in group exhibitions at Centre Pompidou, 2014 and the Biennale de Lyon, 2015. In 2016, she had a residency at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, supported by the French Embassy in Ireland and L’Institut Francais.

Dublin Art Book Fair is Ireland’s only book fair dedicated to visual art. It platforms books related to art, including artists’ books, exhibition catalogues, art theory texts, and books with connected themes such as design and architecture. Each year, TBG+S invites over forty leading Irish and international art book publishers and selects their most recent publications to sell at the Fair. The Fair also features artists’ books and limited edition works. A carefully curated programme of events take place over the weekend. Each year TBG+S commissions a studio artist to make a new work for the Fair.

Dublin Art Book Fair has become an important touch point between Irish audiences and international book makers and publishers.

Ailbhe Ní Bhriain’s new film installation brings together a number of unlikely locations in a meditation on themes of heritage, loss and imperial legacy. Drawing on early museological texts and defined by the extensive use of CGI, the work considers the constructs and absences underpinning cultural and historical representation.

Ailbhe Ní Bhriain is an Irish artist known for her use of video montage. She creates immersive multi-screen installations that combine film, computer generated imagery and sound. The work has been exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and involves collaboration with musicians and composers, with screenings and installations incorporating recorded sound, live performance and improvisation. Ailbhe is represented by Domobaal Gallery, London and lectures at the Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork.

Ailbhe Ní Bhriain is supported by a Visual Arts Project Award from the Arts Council of Ireland, 2017.

The TBG+S Writing Commission aims to expand ideas around writing about art by inviting Irish authors to create a series of pieces inspired by the exhibitions at TBG+S. In 2018, TBG+S has commissioned Doireann Ní Ghríofa to write a piece of short fiction or a poem inspired by each of the exhibitions in the gallery programme. Each written piece will be available to download via the website and printed copies of the essays will be available in the gallery. Previous TBG+S writers have included Sara Baume (2015), Claire-Louise Bennett (2016) and Gavin Corbett (2017).

Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a bilingual writer living and working in Cork. Her fifth book is ’Oighear’ (Coiscéim, 2017) and a collaborative book of poetry and art with artist Alice Maher will soon be published by The Salvage Press. Among her awards are the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Ireland Chair of Poetry Bursary, and the Michael Hartnett Award. Doireann frequently participates in cross-disciplinary collaborations, fusing poetry with film, dance, music, and visual art.

Creative Generations + Five Ways to Make a Sculpture

‘Creative Generations’ and ‘Five Ways to Make a Sculpture’ will bring quality visual arts education to children in Dublin inner city schools in 2018.

‘Creative Generations’ is centred around an artist residency in a school. A TBG+S studio artist will work collaboratively with the children to create a new artwork for their school. The artist will introduce the children to their practice and contemporary art, through artist-in-school workshop sessions and visits to the gallery and the artist’s studio at TBG+S.

‘Five Ways to Make a Sculpture’ is a new programme which will engage some of Ireland’s most exciting artists working in sculpture today. It will give the children an understanding of the various ways that contemporary artists create sculptures, from working with physical materials to using sound as sculpture.

‘Creative Generations’ and ‘Five Ways to Make a Sculpture’ are generously funded by Central Bank of Ireland.

Commissioning CircleSu

ppor

The Commissioning Circle is a fundraising initiative to support Irish and international artists reach their full ambition for exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. It supports the production of new work, artists’ practices and experimentation. A €1,000 donation to the Commissioning Circle goes directly into production budgets of exhibiting artists.

TBG+S presents five innovative contemporary art exhibitions each year. Irish artists of immense promise and highly-acclaimed international artists are invited to exhibit. The exhibitions give talented artists a platform at pivotal points for experimentation and development of new work. Exhibiting at TBG+S often marks a cornerstone in the career path of Irish visual artists and the work of international artists of acclaim is regularly introduced to audiences for the first time.

Exhibiting artists at TBG+S are selected through comprehensive research and studio visits undertaken by the Programme Curator in conjunction with the Director. A Curatorial Panel of artists and Board members, alongside the Director and Programme Curator, input into the Exhibition Policy through discursive quarterly meetings.

Commissioning Circle supporters will be individually named and invited to previews of the exhibitions they have helped to fund.

If you would like to become a member of the Commissioning Circle please contact Muriel Foxton at muriel@templebargallery.com or call 01 6710073.

By purchasing an artist edition you support the artist and TBG+S in its mission to make great art happen.

Gavin Murphy’s black and white archival photograph, ‘On a flimsy framework of reality, imagination spins out and weaves new patterns (Pitch Pine)’, 2017, was produced for his solo exhibition ‘Double Movement’ at TBG+S.

Caoimhe Kilfeather’s layered woodcut ‘Rub’ was commissioned for Dublin Art Book Fair 2017: Art and Architecture Interwoven as part of a larger sculptural work ‘in set’.

Barbara Knezevic’s series of ten photograms titled ‘Monstera deliciosa’, 2016, was created as part of her exhibition ‘Exquisite tempo sector’ at TBG+S. Her practice concerns itself with how things function materially, ontologically and economically in the world.
