Shell/Ter Artist Collective Exhibition at National Gallery of Ireland
July–November 2023
July–November 2023
Shelter will highlight new
artworks created by the five members of the Shell/Ter Artist Collective
(S/TAC). Diana Copperwhite, Allyson Keehan, Niamh McGuinne, Sharon Murphy and
Geraldine O’Neill work in a variety of formats: painting, sculpture, expanded
print and photography. Their work will be complemented by a selection of
objects from the Gallery’s collection, and pieces by international artists
whose work and practice resonates with the Collective. Using the Print Gallery
imaginatively to show works that explore the idea of shelter, traditional
methods of display will be expanded and disrupted to create a vibrant,
thought-provoking exhibition. Curator: Anne Hodge
