Condition, Matter, Effect: ATMOSPHERES II

In the organizer's words:

In CONDITIONS, MATTERS, AFFECTS: ATMOSPHERES II, the artists explore the effects and conditions of atmospheres, how they affect and permeate consciousness, through drawing and installation.

Felicity Clear, Kiera O'Toole and Mary-Ruth Walsh address the conditions, matters and effects of atmospheres, variously using the drawn or schematic line to trace the force and movement of materials in the formation of atmospheric environments, landscapes and spaces. The artists in Atmospheres II take us on a journey through matter, movement, weather, atmosphere and surface.

The exhibition is a curatorial collaboration with Drawing deCentered, Ireland and part of Zeitgeist Ireland 24, which celebrates the richness and diversity of contemporary Irish culture in 2024.
