SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden. In 2018\, Maser established Atelier Maser an art studio and gallery space located in the heart of Dublin that is dedicated to emerging visual artists. The Gallery boasts an exciting programme of artist residencies and exhibitions developed to nurture talent and provide guidance for young artists to showcase their skills.  \n www.maserart.com \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden.

SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden. In 2018\, Maser established Atelier Maser an art studio and gallery space located in the heart of Dublin that is dedicated to emerging visual artists. The Gallery boasts an exciting programme of artist residencies and exhibitions developed to nurture talent and provide guidance for young artists to showcase their skills.  \n www.maserart.com \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation will reinvent the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery. \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. \nThrough Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA will pay homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and will play on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist will create a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape.  \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nGallery 2: The Irish Short Reel Film Series \nOn July 27 at 6pm\, CIACLA will present the premiere of the first of a four week short film reel series\, with a new one hour reel of short films presented each week! The Irish Short Reels Series is presented in association with Irish Screen America and will highlight a selection of contemporary short films with a revolving program. \nA full list and schedule of films can be found here.

SUMMARY:Carnivore - Luke Murphy & Dance Ireland Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Conceived\, Directed and Choreographed by Luke Murphy \nSculpture by Alex Pentek \nPerformed by Eric Jackson Bradley\, Luke Murphy\, Lily Ockwell and Emily Terndrup \nCarnivore was created through a 2018-2019 Arts Council of Ireland Arts Grant Award and developed through residencies at Tanztendenz Munich\, DanceNow Silo\, Shawbrook Residency 2019\, Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre and Ultima Vez. \nPerformance July 17th at 7.30pm   \nCIACLA & Dance Ireland are proud to announce Luke Murphy as the recipient of The 2019 CIACLA Dance Residency. Through this residency CIACLA and Dance Ireland will provide the awardee a space to devise\, rehearse and showcase new work in Los Angeles. \nUsing the research of The Renaissance Skin Project (Kings College London) as a jumping off point\, Carnivore examines what touch\, contact\, and physical identity mean in a rapidly changing world. With the revolution of the printing press standing in close parallel to the development of a digital age we are once again at a moment where notions of beauty\, identity\, communication\, intimacy\, worth and self are rapidly evolving\, changing\, eroding and redefining themselves. Texture and form are once again challenged as the architectural nature of Alex Pentek’s large foldable forms conflict with the unharnessed physicality of the performers in space. Through a series of physical vignettes in dialogue with these evolving sculptural elements\, Carnivore will zoom in and out on the sensation of touch and the lifespan of the readable body in a visceral and evocative audience experience. \nAbout Luke Murphy \nOriginally from Cork City\, Luke is a performer\, choreographer and a Dance Ireland Associate Artist based between Cork\, New York and Brussels. Luke has danced with Ultima Vez from 2014-2018 touring internationally in productions of In Spite of Wishing and Wanting\, Booty Looting and Spiritual Unity and Punchdrunk since 2009\, performing leading roles in the original casts of Sleep No More in Shanghai (‘16-‘18)\, New York City (’11-‘15) as well as productions of The Drowned Man in London and Sleep No More in Boston. In addition he has danced in the companies of Martha Clarke\, Kate Weare and Pavel Zustiak and in projects with Ben Duke\, John Kelly\, John Scott\, Luca Silvestrini\, Jonah Bokaer and Bill T Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company. \nLuke’s own work has been supported by various commissions\, awards and residencies internationally including Arts Council of Ireland\, Cork City Council\, CultureIreland\, New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project\, Kaatsbaan International Dance Centre\, Pavilion Theatre\, Tyrone Guthrie Centre\, Irish Arts Centre\, Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, DanceLimerick\, DanceBase Edinburgh\, Tribeca Performing Arts Centre\, DanceNow Silo Kirkland Farm\, Tanz Tendendz Munich\, b12 Berlin and others.
