Opening Reception as part of Culture Night 2010, Friday 24th September 6pm - 8pm Daniel Chester | Successful Flaws
Friday 24th September - Thursday 28th October | during centre opening hours.
Focusing on the Irish context, this show looks at how the concept of motivational speakers are becoming a massive factor within global business development, and how many people are now searching for direction and guidance during the current recessional period.
Daniel Chester’s practice investigates issues that look at contemporary Ireland within the framework of social, political and economic conditions. Through the use of drawings, painting, video and photography, Chester aims to question the abuse of the capitalist model within modern Ireland and how this has had a dramatic effect on the Irish psyche, confidence and economic future.
Opening Reception Friday 5th November 5.30pm - 7pm Paul Mosse | Two and a Half D
Friday 5th November - Thursday 16th December | during centre opening hours
Paul’s work focuses on space and scale and the tactile world of the senses. He works on many pieces at once and they sometimes join or divide and the processes involved, usually direct how the final image looks. A range of non-traditional low-tech craft and materials are used, including sawdust, nails, screws, paper, paint and wood. Paul uses complicated and senseless systems and processes to push the work into areas he couldn't reach with conscious decision-making and sometimes the end result can be sculpture-proper, but most times it is what the artist terms "2 1/2 D painting".
Paul Mosse was born and now lives in Co. Kilkenny. He studied at The Chelsea College of Arts in London and has exhibited throughout Ireland and Europe.
