It charts (the body’s) stories and its bricks and mortar. As curator, movement through the environment: I research ‘opportunities’: sites that have a the impact of the urban landscape on us potential energy for change in the present, and our impact on it. The urban landscape development in the future, or for recovery is constantly changing, with people, goods, of the past. Then I look for an artist whose traffic, money, knowledge and stories practice fits well with that opportunity and circulating through it to keep it alive and in who might like to engage with it.

A plot is a narrative. A plot can also refer to To appreciate art, we need to question as something tangible or verifiable: a plot of we look, to consider the context as well as ground or plotting a graph. There’s a place the object, and use our own imagination in between these two meanings that is dialogue with the artist’s.

  • Press Release Adam Chodzko, 2007 (Pdf)
    For immediate release 13/11/ 07 THEN, ​an intriguing new Breaking Ground multi-part public artwork in various locations across Dublin by acclaimed British artist Adam Chodzko. Residents of Ballymun are perplexed this morning by a series of posters, which have mysteriously appeared overnight on hoarding along the Balbutcher Road, announcing a meeting to take place in the foyer of the Hagens Hotel, Måløy, Sogn og Fjordane, on the island of Vågsøy. Yet the photo on the poster seems to be a streetscape in Mexico City, taken in the early ‘70’s. Each afternoon, on the top floor of the recently restored ​Na Píobairí Uilleann ​/Uillean Pipers headquarters on Henrietta Street, ​a new sci-fi film, ‘Around’, documenting the paranormal and uncanny properties of an otherwise unremarkable boundary wall and its effects on an unsuspecting group of individuals, is showing. And visitors to Dublin City Gallery ​the Hugh Lane​, can ​swap their shoes for someone else’s, which they’ll wear as they walk around the Gallery’s other exhibitions and permanent collection. Meanwhile, preliminary discussions with ​property developer Mick Wallace are being had, about the possibility of using the name Ballymun in a new development somewhere else in the city, some time in the future. “Adam Chodzko is recognised internationally for his multi-media work which triggers a shift in our perception of where we think we belong in the world​. Fact and fiction are provocatively intermixed, and terms such as ‘community’ and ‘the public’ are deviated as we enter a surrealist world which plays on notions that we take for granted and assume that we understand!” says Aisling Prior, curator of Breaking Ground.

    Victoria Miro Mark Wallinger Italian Lessons Private View 5:30 – 7:30pm, Saturday 27 January 2018 Exhibition 27 January – 10 March 2018 Victoria Miro Venice, Il Capricorno, San Marco 1994, 30124 Venice, Italy Image: Mark Wallinger, Genius of Venice (detail), 1991 Glass, catalogue pages, nightlights, metal brackets 38 x 32 x 6 cm / 15 x 12 5/8 x 2 3/8 inches each, 7 parts Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth Photo: Todd-White Art Photography © Mark Wallinger Victoria Miro, in collaboration with Hauser & Wirth, is delighted to present Italian Lessons, an exhibition by Mark Wallinger. Selected by the artist especially for Victoria Miro Venice, the works on display date from 1991 to 2016 and reflect a career-long engagement with ideas of power, authority, artifice and illusion. While sources of inspiration include the Italian masters and masterpieces in Italian collections, this is the first time many of these works have been shown in Italy. “In a sense, the exhibition is like my mini Grand Tour.” – Mark Wallinger Encompassing autobiography and art history, the Italian Lessons of the exhibition title are manifold. They refer to Wallinger’s own education and to his exposure to the Italian masters: via a charismatic college lecturer in his native Essex; a seminal exhibition in London; a bicycle tour from Paris to Florence. Equally, the Lessons make reference to the cornerstones of art history – such as the development of perspective and trompe-l’oeil techniques – and the shifts in consciousness they have brought about. Lessons theological as well as pedagogical may be deduced in the content or context of his source material, part of a long-term consideration of religion as one of the ideological forces through which order is imposed on the world.

Love Is What You Want , Lougher Contemporary. Crane , No Time for Love. The Kiss Was Beautiful , In The Art of Tracey Emin, distinguished critics from Britain and the United States address her achievement in depth for the first time, tracing Emin's influences from Egon Schiele to Judy Chicago and establishing her place in a larger tradition of postmodern and feminist art. Adopting a variety of critical approaches, contributors explore the full range of Emin's work, from photography and monoprints to installation art and videos, showing that, however raw and personal it may seem to be, it actually represents a carefully meditated response to vital issues in contemporary culture and society. Deals the truth about anal intercourse, at last: how liberating it is- but only for the purpetrator. In this case, the work explores the common experience of depression through a very personal and intimate lens. This artwork draws an important distinction between representation and presentation. This piece is not a representation of an object such as a painting or a sculpture. The art object doesn't refer to another object; it is the object itself. Some have argued that this was the key work in elevating women's experiences to the level of artistic expression.
