Wheelbarrow Piano is the first exhibition of work by UK artist Will Cruickshank in Ireland. Cruickshank’s practice involves finding ways of passing time, which moves between a kind of play or hobby and a more serious endeavour.

Questioning accepted patterns in society and physical day-to-day experience, these artists unpack and rework reality. Always in transit, moving and questioning our assumptions, the artists ask how tenable the rules are and what indeed these rules are?

The exhibition Thirty Two Thousand Years Later involves a considered selection of artists who experiment with conventions of painting from diverse starting points.

 The work in this exhibition is derived from sources that include a 1977 Hollywood film; a fragment of a script from TV show Dallas (1987); an advertising jingle Bringing Home the Oil – promoting the Gulf Oil company based in Bantry Bay (1969), and a Dáil debate (1985, after the Betelgeuse disaster).

“Head or Tail” or “Hua rua Goy” is the term that Thais use to describe the uncertainty of a situation or simply to gamble with the future. Under the dynamic tension posed by this uncertainty the curators have chosen a group of new media and video artists who use the latest in technology to express the concerns of modern life in general and in South East Asia in particular.

MONO is a site-specific kinetic inflatable sculpture specially fabricated for the gallery by New York based, Irish artist Clive Murphy.
