PhotoGo 2020 Following the success of the PhotoGo Photography Competition in 2019, Sample-Studios were delighted to partner with Gurranabraher Credit Union to launch PhotoGo 2020 on Culture Night, September 18th 2020. Over the last month, we've received photographs which celebrate Cork City's Northside and the theme of 'legacy' in this important centenary year in Cork. 65 entries were received and a further 57 entries were submitted by local Transition Year students who participated in our free Schools Photography Programme.
Selected entries will be displayed in the windows of The Lord Mayor's Pavilion in Fitzgerald's Park from the 30th of October until the 30th of November for passers by to enjoy, while exercising in the Park. If you live within 5km, we invite you to enjoy the photographs in the windows - if you are visiting, please ensure you can do so safely and maintain 2m distance from other park users. |
Postponed due to Covid 19 Restrictions. Watch this space for rescheduled exhibition dates.

Solo Exhibition by Aoife Claffey
St Luke’s Church, Summerhill North, Cork
Sample-Studios Visual Arts Programme TACTIC presents an exhibition of work by Aoife Claffey. In today’s world, rapid developments in transportation, communication and media are seen as progressive. However, they also exacerbate the fracturing and destabilisation of society. Societal structures appear to be dissolving through the acceleration of technologies. Claffey creates immersive environments for sensory stimulation. Reflective and translucent objects shift, with transparent layers of imagery and sound transforming unexpectedly each time the work is experienced. By manipulating the physical properties of sound and vision, she aims to provide an ambiguous space for the viewer to recall the peripheral, a space that is in the midst of current, perpetual transformation; a non-space.
Her work examines Irish transportation systems and locations utilising associated materials and objects. This is to explore how global capitalism continues to consume us. In a world of disposable products, the relationship binding humans to such objects has become increasingly tenuous, and the ontological status of material things are reduced to either pure sensory stimulation or hallucination on identity. During the process of making, she often allows activity to go beyond (transcend) her control. Physiological and psychological tensions between chaos and order are encouraged both during the making, and within the work, to evoke uncanny effect or altered cognitive states. Using projection, found objects, motors and surround sound as agents for political and social change, she hopes to communicate the idea that history has a tendency of repeating itself if regulations are not put into place. Her installations aim to critique social and political systems by encompassing notions of unpredictability, fragility and movement.
Aoife Claffey is an Irish Installation Artist. Claffey is currently undertaking an MA in Art & Process in the Crawford College of Art and Design and is a current member of Sample Studios and Cork Printmakers

August 26th and September 11th FULLY BOOKED Art and Language Workshop: The first of the 'Cahoots' workshops 'Art and Language' was led by artist Nicola Anthony. This workshop enabled members to explore and navigate the many ways in which language, literature, words and voices can form part of artistic research, conceptualisation, or even become part of finished pieces. We explored how artistic practice can be informed by language, storytelling, and narratives, and develop your understanding and interpretation of linguistics and other signifiers in your work. Nicola shared insights from her own practice and facilitated discussion and practical exercises around the subject of language and art.
