Niamh O’Malley: Glasshouse
- Sat, 10 Oct 2015 - Sun, 10 Jan 2016
- 10.00 AM - 6.00 PM Free, entry
Bluecoat presents the first major solo show in a UK public gallery by Dublin based artist Niamh O’Malley. Working across video, drawing, painting, print & sculpture, O’Malley’s work is distinctive for her use of reflective surfaces such as mirror and glass through which images are constructed, revealed and obscured. At Bluecoat O’Malley has created new sculptural works that respond to the unique gallery architecture. Her sculptures and drawings chart and frame the marks made by gestures and processes, while the lens of her camera gives attention to the surfaces and nature of objects and places. In her videos O’Malley’s investigations into the construction of images has led her to working with sites, such as the hewn face of a quarry, rows of greenhouses, as well as a singular mountainscape and her own garden. O’Malley’s studies of anonymous yet evocative locations evoke the instant when fleeting moments coalesce as memory.

http://ruared.ie/event/deadeye/2015-09-18
18 SEPT – 23 OCT | GALLERIES 1 & 2 | PREVIEW THURS 17 SEPT 6PM
Curated by Paul McAree and featuring Lorraine Neeson, Martin Healy and Niamh O’Malley
Deadeye presents a diverse range of work including sculptural, photographic and film work from 3 of Ireland’s most important artists – Martin Healy, Lorraine Neeson and Niamh O’Malley – which touches on issues from the personal to the universal, and in the interplay of various works in the gallery suggests and teases out how the individual exists within the global.
Deadeye acts a metaphor for television and the moving image on screen – the un-emotive presence in our rooms and homes, compelling us to react and connect with the outside world. The exhibition plays with the Romanticism of the dark image, the unseen presence of the tv or computer screen, and its invisible umbilical cord to the greater world and universe. What are we doing here? Are we really doing anything at all, only looking, making, spinning, touching, waving, drowning? What’s out there? Do we imagine our connection with the greater whole? How can we channel these questions? What metaphors can we use to simplify these questions? Is any of this remotely possible? Deadeye seeks to look at 3 artists whose work teases out these questions in various and unique ways.
Deadeye Talk and Tour
FRI | 17 SEP | 5.30PM | FREE
As part of Deadeye join curator Paul McAree with the artists Martin Healy, Lorraine Neeson and Niamh O’Malley for an informal walk through the exhibition before the exhibition launch
