2019   ARCHIVE

Preview Thursday 7th Nov. 4.30-7.30 pm. Sample studios and Tactic Visual Arts Programme present Material Reverie, the first solo show by artist Anna O’Riordan.

Material Reverie is a meditation on vast expanses of time. Expanding on Anna’s previous work, Material Reverie enters the realm of myth making, entering a third space which is neither real nor imagined but existing as both at once. The endurance of time is understood through fragments of buried pasts, both revealing and concealing collective memories and histories. Ruined material accumulated in the landscape blend together in an imagined landscape of the mind. The compression of time is expressed in the birth of new objects though processes of folding flattening, compressing, liquefying and solidifying.
Anna O’Riordan is a visual artist, based in Cork City. Anna’s practice is multidisciplinary, incorporating installation, sculpture and print. Her work is concerned with the language of the ruin as an expression of the endurance of time and the continuous dialogue between the past and the present. #oriordan.anna #stlukes #tactic_sample #samplestudios

Sample-Studios and TACTIC Cork are delighted to host a selection of artists from A4 Sounds Dublin this March in The Crypt at St. Luke's. This exhibition is the second installment of a collaboration between Sample-Studios and A4 Sounds following the success of Sample's members show in Dublin this January just gone.

About A4 Sounds:

'A4’s mission is to transform the means by which cultural works are produced, accessed, and understood in Ireland, and by doing so to contribute to the development of a more just society. We want to Make Art That Matters.

Our workspace is an extension of this work, intended as a participative socially engaged arts and education centre in Dublin. Drawing on the best elements from existing artist studios, maker spaces, social spaces and education practices both nationally and internationally, we are developing a unique model which both supports practitioners’ professional development and effects real social change in response to our needs as citizens and communities, and how we access and participate in arts and education.'
