There's still time to catch VISUAL Carlow's great springtime exhibits!
Andy Fitz - Now Now
Now now is Fitz’s largest exhibition to date, presenting new and existing sculptures alongside subtle architectural interventions made in VISUAL’s Main Gallery.
Intimate and domestic objects appear precarious and unstable, their scale, function and place misaligned. The sculptures unfold unresolved tensions, the personal in the political, the present in light of the past.
Anne Hardy - Interloper
The first project by Anne Hardy in Ireland.
For this exhibition of existing and newly commissioned works, Hardy has responded to the distinct architecture of VISUAL; the concrete and glass of the Link Gallery and its connection to the ornamental pond seen through the large windows, and the blank canvas of the Studio Gallery’s white cube design and its heavily patinated floor.
Naomi Sex DRILL
VISUAL is pleased to present DRILL, newly commissioned exhibition of moving image and sound installation by Naomi Sex. Working with both professional and non-actors, Sex has written and directed a series of scripted performances. These vignettes consider language, social interaction, absurdity and the limits of understanding. On the title, the artist writes:
...alongside their new interactive learning exhibition:
Some things are not what they seem!
