Director’s Welcome
Welcome to Temple Bar Gallery + Studios 2017 Programme. In this publication
we outline our five exhibitions for the year, along with information on our studio
membership and opportunities for artists at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.
The 2017 exhibition programme continues to reflect on expanded forms of exhibition
making and artistic practice. With a focus on solo exhibitions, two Irish and three
international artists have been invited to participate. We are delighted to be working
with Hilary Lloyd (UK) in collaboration with PLASTIK Festival of Artists’ Moving Image;
Camille Norment (USA), whose work includes sound installation, light sculpture
and performance, and, guest curator Caroline Hancock who will curate a new work
by Nigerian artist, Otobong Nkanga. Dublin based Gavin Murphy’s solo exhibition
presents a new film work – the culmination of his research into the now defunct
Eblana Theatre, located in the basement of Michael Scott’s Busáras. Mark Swords
(IRL) will create a large-scale site-specific painting installation for the gallery. Across
this diverse programme there are sometimes political undercurrents present in the
work and, always, an ambition for experimentation with varying media and forms
of artmaking.
Alongside these five exhibitions, we will feature the 7th edition of the annual Dublin
Art Book Fair in November, work in partnership with artist Mark Orange on his
collaborative site-specific project in September 2017 and the PLASTIK Festival of
Artists’ Moving Image which takes place in March 2017.
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 2017, our learning and public engagement programmes are greatly
e strengthened by the Arts Council’s investment in a new pilot partnership with the RHA
Gallery, Dublin, to appoint a shared Learning and Public Engagement Curator to work
m across our institutions. We are delighted for the generous support of the Central Bank
us of Ireland which allows us to initiate Creative Generations, an education programme
oviči that will see TBG+S artists in residence in two inner city schools, led by education
mal o curator, Jean Mann.
Tu
as TBG+S will continue to work with a literary writer to offer an alternative form of
m
To c writing on art. We are delighted to announce Gavin Corbett as our commissioned
by
age l writer for 2017.

BG+ funders, and all the artists who we will work with in 2017. We look forward to seeing
