Sculpture from Terrestris by Sam Keogh/ Image by Ros Kavanagh

Visual arts is taking over Project Arts Centre this summer to present three unique exhibitions and their most ambitious project to date.

Conjuring for Beginners will transform the building. The Space Upstairs will become a giant gallery filled with sculpture on an enormous scale, by one of Ireland’s most promising young artists Sam Keogh. The Cube will be home to a trio of artworks, light, sound and video installations by Janice Kerbel (CA/UK), Zbynek Baladrán (CZ) and the 2010 Turner Prize winning artist Susan Philipsz (UK). In the gallery the final piece of the exhibition will be a collection of playful sculptures as the works of Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel (FR), Angela Fulcher (UK/IE) and Ruth E. Lyons (IE) play out side by side. The exploration of space, light and sound will enthral you.

Through this exhibition, Project Arts Centre hopes that audiences will engage with art works in new ways, connecting the art and scientific worlds.

“Art lies half-way between scientific knowledge and mythical or magical thought. It is common knowledge that the artist is both something of a scientist and of a ‘bricoleur’. By his craftsmanship he constructs a material object which is also an object of knowledge.” (THE SAVAGE MIND - Claude Levi Strauss, 1962)

Supported by the Arts Council, Dublin City Council, The Irish Times and the French Embassy in Ireland.
