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.

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.

SUMMARY:Thinh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:As part of our local showcase program\, Gallery 2 will present work by local artist Thinh Nguyen \nJune 15th – July 5th | Wed – Sunday |  1-6pm |  @ CIACLA \nAbout Thinh Nguyen \n“My work emerges from the realisation that western art history is not my history\, my assigned gender is not my identity\, and my identity is not the product of my cultural values. Through these revelations i enact my own personal and cultural revolution dismantling the overlapping inequity of cultural values based on gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, religion\, and the body politics – all explored as malleable and hybrid constructs of identity. The works are the result of my constant need to negotiate and weave together the contested space between cultures to find the threads that connect us all.” \nwww.thinhstudio.com     \nImage courtesy of Thinh Nguyen

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:Thinh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:As part of our local showcase program\, Gallery 2 will present work by local artist Thinh Nguyen \nJune 15th – July 5th | Wed – Sunday |  1-6pm |  @ CIACLA \nAbout Thinh Nguyen \n“My work emerges from the realisation that western art history is not my history\, my assigned gender is not my identity\, and my identity is not the product of my cultural values. Through these revelations i enact my own personal and cultural revolution dismantling the overlapping inequity of cultural values based on gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, religion\, and the body politics – all explored as malleable and hybrid constructs of identity. The works are the result of my constant need to negotiate and weave together the contested space between cultures to find the threads that connect us all.” \nwww.thinhstudio.com     \nImage courtesy of Thinh Nguyen

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:Thinh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:As part of our local showcase program\, Gallery 2 will present work by local artist Thinh Nguyen \nJune 15th – July 5th | Wed – Sunday |  1-6pm |  @ CIACLA \nAbout Thinh Nguyen \n“My work emerges from the realisation that western art history is not my history\, my assigned gender is not my identity\, and my identity is not the product of my cultural values. Through these revelations i enact my own personal and cultural revolution dismantling the overlapping inequity of cultural values based on gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, religion\, and the body politics – all explored as malleable and hybrid constructs of identity. The works are the result of my constant need to negotiate and weave together the contested space between cultures to find the threads that connect us all.” \nwww.thinhstudio.com     \nImage courtesy of Thinh Nguyen

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.
