Black Church Print Studio Open & Invited Exhibition

Invisible

Curated by Oliver Dowling, John Graham, and Margaret O’Brien.

Exhibition Dates: 11 February – 4 March 2010

Concerned with the unseen, overlooked, or hidden, Invisible is an exhibition that takes what we can’t see as its starting point. Artists, invited and selected from open submission, present work that investigates or challenges the dominance of our visual sense. Hosting a wide variety of materials and approaches, Invisible is an exhibition that explores the desire to look for the truth beyond appearances.
Invisible is presented at various locations around Dublin city, including; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Project Arts Centre, Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, Original Print Gallery, Back Loft, and Digital Hub Development Agency. The individual artworks will create an ‘invisible’ network, existing alongside and in relation to the many places and events they engage with.
Participating invited artists are Gerard Byrne, Brian Duggan, Clodagh Emoe, Martin Healy, Mark Joyce, Seán Lynch, Susan MacWilliam, Isabel Nolan, Paul Nugent, Liam O’Callaghan and Sarah Pierce. The exhibition will also include artists selected from an open submission process. John Graham and Margaret O’Brien will also exhibit.

Pelleas and Melisande


December 1st, 8pm
€8/€5, reception to follow.


Written by Maurice Maeterlinck
Directed by Katie O'Kelly and Claire Hughes

Let the chorus carry you on a fairytale journey to the kingdom of Old Allemonde. This enchanted land of ancient castles, shadowy forests and raging seas is alive and breathes, its rivers and waters whispering the call of fate. Prince Goulad’s discovery of a young girl by a spring unleashes a painful tale of obsession and perceptions, desire and death.

Pelleas and Melisande is a fresh and dynamic physical theatre piece devised by a group of young practitioners and invited for a special one-night-only appearance at the Back Loft following its successful run at Player's Theatre in Trinity College.
