Living in Connemara, a rural area on Ireland’s west coast, the artist sees the body and nature as sites of constant change, creation and destruction, new and old. In recent years, Cross’s practice has focused on nature and the ocean, working with maligned animals such as jellyfish and shark, and exploring rarely accessible areas like sea caves or shell grottos. Works to be shown at ABHK16 include Whale (2011), a dramatic work in which a Cuvier whale skeleton is hung vertically from the ceiling. Exhibitions in 2016 will include a solo show at New Art Centre, Salisbury, UK and two group exhibitions at Modern Art Oxford, UK. Recent solo exhibitions include Lismore Castle Arts, Ireland (2014) and Turner Contemporary, UK (2013), touring to Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (2014). The artist has participated in Venice Biennale (1993), Istanbul Biennial (1997) and Liverpool Biennial (1998), and the groundbreaking 1994 exhibition Bad Girls, ICA London and CCA, Glasgow. Cross is included in the collections of Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Norton Collection, Santa Monica; Art Pace Foundation, Texas; Goldman Sachs Collection, London; The Arnolfini Trust, Bristol and TATE, London. riggedattraction, 2014, powder coated aluminium, 180 x 640 x 10 cm / 70.9 x 252 x 3.9 in (Representative work) LIAM GILLICK b. 1964, Aylesbury, England Liam Gillick is one of the most prominent and important figures to have emerged in international contemporary art since the mid-1990s. The diverse forms of his art, ranging across sculpture, installation, filmmaking, writing and other, widely varied, collaborative projects, often allude to pivotal moments in the history of modern and postmodern art. Crucially, however, Gillick’s references to prior forms of progressive art are always situated in relation to other vital co-ordinates for understanding the place of art within contemporary culture. Gillick’s work brings apparently contradictory meanings into renewed proximity, thus repeatedly testing – and troubling – the terms and expectations of art within contemporary capitalism. Liam Gillick has had many solo exhibitions and presentations including Serralves Foundation (2016); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2015); MAGASIN, Grenoble (2014); The Contemporary Austin (2013–2014); Bampton Lecture Series, Columbia University, New York (2013); Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, Annandale-on- Hudson, New York (2012); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2011); Kunst-und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bonn (2010). Selected group exhibitions and biennales include the 14th Istanbul Biennale (2015); Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis (2014); Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2011); MuHKA, Antwerp (2010); 8th Shanghai Biennale (2010); German Pavilion, 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) and Guggenheim Museum, New York (2007). Horizons and Expectations, 2016, cotton and powder-coated mild steel flagpole, 3 x 178 x 176 cm / 1.2 x 70.1 x 69.3 in ISABEL NOLAN b. 1974, Dublin, Ireland The startling objects of Isabel Nolan’s art take wildly unpredictable forms, but they are at the same time the fully consistent outcomes of a singular, searching artistic sensibility. Nolan’s works evolve out of almost scholarly processes of investigation— intensive enquiries into cosmological and botanical phenomena, perhaps, or analytical scrutiny of literary and historical texts. These contrasting means of representing reality (and of comprehending its infinitely various components) provide divergent points of departure for Nolan as she attempts to somehow account for the enduring strangeness of the world, even in its most intimately familiar forms. In the past year, Nolan has seized upon the flag as a motif, pinpointing weak points in this traditional display of power. In Horizons and Expectations, to be shown at ABHK16, a hand- dyed flag becomes completely displaced, strewn across the floor of the space. Nolan’s recent solo shows include Launch Pad New York; Kerlin Gallery (2015); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2014), to travel to Mercier Union, Toronto and CAG, Vancouver in 2016; The Model Sligo (2011), travelling to the Musée d’art moderne de Saint Etienne, France (2012); The Return Gallery, Goethe Institute, Dublin (2012/13); Gallery 2, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2008) and Project Arts Centre, Dublin (2005). In 2005, Nolan represented Ireland at the 51st Venice Biennale as part of a group exhibition, ‘Ireland at Venice 2005’. Untitled, 2015, oil on canvas, 200 x 300 cm / 78.7 x 118.1 in JAN PLEITNER b. 1984, Oldenburg, Germany Deeply influenced by science fiction, the fast movement of Jan Pleitner’s jolting lines reflect both his dynamic, durational approach to painting, often completing works in single, marathon sessions, but also the speed at which the world operates on a more minute level: the speed at which sound or light can travel, for instance, or the speed at which signals are sent and received by the brain. In a sense, Pleitner’s chaotic lines evoke the frantic pace at which we are capable of processing information. But on another level, his rich, luminous colours also hint towards something more mysterious, giving a physical manifestation to the invisible forces that continuously surround our existence, or lending a highly saturated colour palette to the unchartered abyss of the subconscious mind. Jan Pleitner is based in Düsseldorf, having graduated with an MA from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2010. Recent solo exhibitions include Kerlin Gallery (2016); Nanzuka Underground, Tokyo; Ancient & Modern, London (2014); Stadtmuseum Oldenburg (2013); Projekt Skagen 12, Denmark (2012); Avlskarl Fine Art Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark (2011). Recent group exhibitions include Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin and Das Haus am Lützlowplatz, Berlin (both 2015). Untitled (Landline), 2015, oil on aluminium, 215.9 x 190.5 cm / 85 x 75 in SEAN SCULLY b.1945, Dublin, Ireland Sean Scully is considered to be one of the world’s leading abstract painters. His work draws on the diverse historical and cultural influences of places that, at different times, have been profoundly important to him. He has taken inspiration from many cherished, varied elements of European culture (ranging from the harmonic ideals of ancient Greek architecture to the vernacular design of stone walls in rural Ireland) but he has also successfully responded the legacy of abstraction in the United States. Scully’s commanding, internationally recognisable style of abstract art, based on repeating arrangements of discretely nuanced blocks of colour, combines considerable painterly drama with great visual delicacy. Untitled (Landline) is from the artist’s acclaimed Landline series, in which vertical forms are removed to create ‘a side-to-side motion’, mimicking the repetitive yet wholly unpredictable rhythm of the sea. Scully has had many major museum shows worldwide, including the Smithsonian and the Hirschhorn, both Washington DC; Jeu de Paume, Paris; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf; Haus der Kunst, Munich; IVAM, Valencia; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; Cincinnati Art Museum and the Met Museum, New York. In the past year alone, he has had major solo exhibitions at Shanghai Himalayas Art Museum; CAFA, Beijing; Kunsthalle Rostock, Germany; National Gallery of Ireland; Château la Coste, Aix-en-Provence; 56th Venice Biennale; Museum Liaunig, Neuhaus, Austria and Pinacoteca do Estado, São Paolo, Brazil and the world-famous Santa Cecília de Montserrat, near Barcelona.

    Curated by Michael Dempsey Sara Reisman Introduction SELECT AN ARTIST t Lieven De Boeck Elaine Byrne John Byrne Tony Cokes Chto Delat Dor Guez Lawrence Abu Hamdan Dragana Juriši´c Ari Marcopoulos Raqs Media Collective Dermot Seymour Mark Wallinger “In the year 2000 there was a total of fifteen fortified border walls and fences between sovereign nations. Today, physical barriers at sixty-three borders divide nations across four continents.” — Lawrence Abu Hamdan, 2018 Introduction Historically, borders tend to be the location of international trouble spots. Prior to the global lockdown, there was a utopian vision of open borders, alongside the reality of a populist push towards border fortification. This dichotomy has now been eclipsed by a pandemic that doesn’t respect borders. Politicisation of the pandemic, displacement of people, and contagion, as well as the drive towards an ever-increasing economic globalisation, have created further complex contradictions. The curatorial idea for the exhibition Worlds Without End (WWE) was first conceived a year ago as a research-based collaboration between Sara Reisman, Executive and Artistic Director of the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, New York and Michael Dempsey, Head of Exhibitions, Hugh Lane Gallery, who are the co-curators of WWE. WWE is a visual dialogue on the impact of borders on individuals and communities. The twelve participating artists are drawn from different regional traditions and challenge our perceptions of national identities, envisioning utopian possibilities for understanding the place of borders, their proliferation and seeming obsolescence, in contemporary society. These artists reveal their deep interest in current geo-political positions and social conditions with works that interrogate power structures, positions of privilege and human rights issues.

  • Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross B
    Kerlin Gallery Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross b. 1956, Cork, Ireland Like many of Dorothy Cross’ sculptures, Family (2005) and Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) sees the artist work with found objects, transforming them with characteristic wit and sophistication. Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) presents a pair of deflated footballs, no longer of use, their past buoyancy now anchored in bronze. Emerging from each is a cast of the artist’s hands, index finger extended upwards in a pointed gesture suggesting optimism or aspiration. In Family (2005) we see the artist’s undeniable craft and humour come together. Three spider crabs were found, dead for some time but still together. The intricacies of their form and the oddness of their sideways maneuvres forever cast in bronze. The ‘father’ adorned with an improbable appendage also pointing upwards and away. --- Working in sculpture, film and photography, Dorothy Cross examines the relationship between living beings and the natural world. Living in Connemara, a rural area on Ireland’s west coast, the artist sees the body and nature as sites of constant change, creation and destruction, new and old. This flux emerges as strange and unexpected encounters. Many of Cross’ works incorporate items found on the shore, including animals that die of natural causes. During the 1990s, the artist produced a series of works using cow udders, which drew on the animals' rich store of symbolic associations across cultures to investigate the construction of sexuality Dorothy Cross Right Ball and Left Ball 2007 cast bronze, unique 34 x 20 x 19 cm / 13.4 x 7.9 x 7.5 in 37 x 19 x 17 cm / 14.6 x 7.5 x 6.7 in DC20407A Dorothy Cross Family 2005 cast bronze edition of 2/4 dimensions variable element 1: 38 x 19 x 20 cm / 15 x 7.5 x 7.9 in element 2: 25 x 24 x 13 cm / 9.8 x 9.4 x 5.1 in element 3: 16 x 15 x 13 cm / 6.3 x 5.9 x 5.1 in DC17405-2/4 Dorothy Cross b.

There is a growing interest in Contemporary Art, yet the ideas and theoretical frameworks which inform its practice can be complex and difficult to access. By focusing on a number of key headings, such as conceptual Art, Installation Art and Performance Art, this series of talks is intended to provide a broad overview of some of the central themes and directions in Modern and Contemporary Art. This series represents a response to a number of challenges. Firstly, the inherent problems and contradictions in attempting to outline or summarise 03 the wide-ranging, constantly changing and contested spheres of both art theory and practice, and secondly, the use of summary terms to describe a range of practices, much of which emerged in opposition to such totalising tendencies. Taking these challenges into account, this talks series offers a range of perspectives, drawing on expertise and experience from lecturers, artists, curators and critical writers, and is neither definitive nor exhaustive. The intention is to provide background and contextual information about the art and artists featured in IMMA’s exhibitions and collections in particular, and about Contemporary Art in general, to promote information sharing, and to encourage critical thinking, debate and discussion about art and artists. The talks series addresses aspects of Modern and Contemporary Art, spanning the period from the 1940s to the present.

  • Isabel Nolan
    Kerlin Gallery Isabel Nolan Isabel Nolan Stelliferous to Degenerate 2020 water based oil on canvas 70 x 90 x 3 cm / 27.6 x 35.4 x 1.2 in 72.5 x 92.5 x 4.5 cm / 28.5 x 36.4 x 1.8 in framed IN46720 The extravagantly, even preposterously titled 'Stelliferous to degenerate' refers to a time in the extremely far future when the universe will no longer produce stars. Using familiar materials (paint or colouring pencil) Nolan’s work consistently picks away at the coherence of our human perspective as applied to the wildness and strangeness of nature. Rendering cosmic forms at a wholly domestic human scale, the artist similarly makes the cosmic into something relatively cosy.
