Call for expressions of interest from graduates of MTU’s MA:AP programme, whose work encompasses drawing practice, to take part in an exhibition of drawing research work/projects that respond to drawings in the Crawford Art Gallery drawing collection.

The main exhibition site will be The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion, Fitzgerald’s Park but we are also interested in projects that explore the expanded field of drawing practice as, for example: embodied act or performance, as site specific response or narrative, as a method of capturing and exploring interactive collaborations, etc.

Six selected participants will have access to the selected works from the drawing collection in the Crawford Art Gallery on dates to be confirmed in May/June. Access to the Crawford Art Gallery drawing collection is also available online: https://crawfordartgallery.ie/online-collection/

The exhibition will be held on 6th - 28th October 2022 in The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion in Fitzgeralds Park. Sample-Studios may also facilitate workshops or other related activities which could use the participants as facilitators if they so wish.

Today is the final day to visit PLUS/MINUS.

“Through photography, painting, and mixed media installation this exhibition presents: unseen fragments of the city, constitutional questions on modernist painting, and the changing nature of place and belonging. This complexity of perspectives sheds light on our individual experiences, communicating a sense of ebb and flow which defines the contemporary moment.”

Opening times: Saturday 4th December 11-5pm.
Location: No. 46 Grand Parade, Cork City.

Book via the link in bio.

PLUS/MINUS:

“Artmaking is a call and response informed by its context. Recent experiences have been largely defined by separation and restriction and we have limited our lives in search of safety. The artists presented here share distinct and diverse bodies of work that reference their process through these constraints. Their physical acts of artmaking have been largely solitary practices within changeable circumstances, through arrivals and departures, moving between here or there, having more or less. Plus/Minus is therefore about what’s been lost and found, what’s been added and subtracted during this time.”

Thank you to everyone who has visited the show so far. Tomorrow is the last day - to book a slot follow the link in bio.

Opening times: Saturday 4th December 11-5pm.

Artist Introduction: Síomha Callanan

“By moving through spaces and observing everyday details, I consider what may otherwise be seen as mundane as worth capturing. Through the act of walking I engage with the environment in a psychogeographical way, guided by the layout and atmosphere of the city. I visually document these spaces in an effort to draw attention to the unseen backdrops of quotidian life.
It is a way of slowing down, a way of being present in a space; the main objective being to rediscover the very act of looking.”
