Image: photo – we see a sheaf of grass of some sort quite close to the camera, and it seems that it may have provided the material for two woven strips that we see towards top right and right in the photo; there seems to be more sheafery hidden behind burlap or equivalent, and farther away we may be seeing someone wearing this gear, along with some grass and stones, maybe, on their head; a grey wall behind • “^ is a collective based in Manorhamilton, Leitrim. Our five members are Tara Baoth Mooney, Shane Finan, James Kelly, Laura McMorrow, and Sonya Swarte. We collectively occupy an artist-led studio and experimental space in Manorhamilton, opened in September 2022. Over the past three years, we have led events in north Leitrim in response to environmental grief, care, and tending to the land. For this exhibition-environment, we explore meadows, untrodden ground, and forgotten growth in north Leitrim. In these liminal spaces, a succession of plants create worlds upon worlds, each…”

Image: installation photo which shows the shape of what is presumably a basking shark suspended among what may be shark eggs, though very large; all are illuminated from within, and there is a pearlescent bluish glow to the space that the pice is in; there are two strong black verticals towards the left and right, probably supporting struts in the space • “Basking is a celebration of both the resilience of nature and the power of community. The exhibition will feature a life-sized lantern sculpture of a basking shark, surrounded by over 60 shell-like lantern structures, all crafted from willow and tissue paper and lit from within. Featuring a soundscape by renowned artists Colm Ó Snodaigh and Brian Hogan. The materials, with their organic and delicate qualities, reflect the fragile yet enduring spirit of the natural world. Roscommon Arts Centre invites local communities and regional artists in the area to be part of the exhibition and work with the artist Tom Meskell through…”

Image: from mpda.ie, shows headshots of two probable students; the coloration is somewhat solarised or otherwise posterised / distorted; the TUD logo is top left, in white • “Welcome to the MPDA Degree Show at Rua Red, proudly presented by the School of Media, TU Dublin.  The work showcased here represents just a small sample of projects completed by final year students – please note that much of the work on display is excerpted from larger portfolios of work and is intended to give a flavour of the breadth of production from our degree programme. The Media Production & Digital Arts degree at TU Dublin is a unique BA (Hons) programme in which students take practical modules across a range of media subjects, for example TV and Digital Video Production, Interactive Multimedia, Photography, Audio and Radio Production and Emerging Media Theory and Practices. Students design and develop their own course website and many students are involved in managing and broadcasting on the…”

South Dublin Arts Centre Tallaght, Dublin 24

closing Saturday 31 August

dnote.website/?dnote=brognon-r…

Image: photo or video still of two hands, one holding a medal; the medal has the number 10 in the middle, on a strong yellow, circular background; the text in a band around this circle reads ‘ONE STEP AT A TIME | CÉIM AR CHÉIM’; the background is black; there is bright yellow tape binding fingers on either hand – the middle and ring finger on the right hand, the index and middle on the left hand • “Overcoming addiction is a slow and personal process, involving all our strengths and vulnerabilities. Relapse is not a failure, but a necessary part of the long journey towards change. During a series of conversations with the Drug & Alcohol Task Force in Tallaght, it became clear that people needed a physical symbol for this journey, to visualise and hold in their hand the path they’ve travelled. These tokens represent victorious moments: 10 years, 5 years, 1 year, 6 months, and perhaps most importantly, the first day—the day of decision and action ("Take the risk or lose the chance")…”

Sian Costello: Hot Child
Ormston House
9-10 Patrick Street Limerick City

closing Saturday 31 August

#ArtIreland #Dnote #MastoDaoine
dnote.website/?dnote=sian-cost…

Image: colour photograph: we see a figure sitting on a wooden chair, leaning forward, and caught in bright sunshine from a window; it is probably the artist; on the walls are artworks of various sorts, possibly in progress, and there is a hint of a horizontal artwork, possibly on a table, in the foreground; the figure is wearing a black top and pale jeans / trousers, and maybe runners • “Ormston House is excited to announce Sian Costello’s imminent solo exhibition, entitled Hot Child. In this show, featuring several large new works, Costello continues her exploration of representing the female body via performative self-portraiture. The exhibition will open Thursday, 25 July 2024 from 7–9pm. Those already familiar with this artist’s works will note numerous key developments in the new paintings shown here. Crucially, we see a dissolution of the depicted subject via the presence of more negative space; recognisable representational details are married with gestural abstraction.…”

Image: David Madigan: The Circuit of Dún Laoghaire | the painting shows a view of Dún Laoghaire, seen from above and to the south and looking north across Dublin Bay towards Sutton; in the mid-distance we see the usual DL buildings – Lexicon, Royal Marine, National Maritime Museum … but the foreground, seamlessly blended in, consists almost entirely of the capacitors, resistors, etc. of a printed-circuit board; all of this is rendered in a painterly but also realistic style, with shades of blue the dominant colour • “Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to present an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Dave Madigan, Landscapes and Oddities, the artist’s first solo exhibition. Madigan was awarded the 2022 dlr Visual Art Commission Exhibition; this is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland and supported by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. Landscapes and Oddities features new large-scale paintings, with wide vistas and aerial views of different landscapes…”

EL Putnam on how sketching, digitally or otherwise, helped her find a way through lockdowns, 2021

#CircaAt40 #ArtIreland
@circaartmag
Text starts: EL Putnam recounts how sketching, digitally or otherwise, helped her find a way through lockdowns. I have begun and abandoned this essay multiple times since August 2020. It is my attempt to make some sense as an artist and philosopher of an era that shatters my frame of reason. Almost two years since the pandemic took hold, we continue to cope with the innumerable upheavals, manifesting differently depending on each lived context, of a future that refuses to materialise from this dynamic present. We are in acute crises and, according to Lauren Berlant (who passed away in June 2021), we have been for some time. This epoch is driven by calls for innovation, progress, and production, treating resources, from physical materials to human labour, as infinite and inextinguishable. These illusions of unfettered growth have yet to be tempered by the implications of climate collapse and ecological breakdown, of which this pandemic is part. We are in a situation defined by Berlan…
