PAST EVENT 2020Sample-Studios TACTIC Visual Arts Programme presents
Dominion : A solo exhibition by Rosalind Spencer. 9 - 19 September, St. Luke's Church, Summerhill, Cork City On the sixth day God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26) In western society during the 13th century the idea of dominion over nature was compounded by the Italian theologian philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas (c.1225–1274). In his most widely read work, Summa Theologica (published in 1485), Aquinas wrote that God had created animals and plants for the benefit of man and that animals cannot reason therefore man may use them as he wishes. He postulated that killing animals is only a violation if they are someone's property. Aquinas quotes Genesis 9:3 “Everything that moves and lives shall be meat to you”. Ethical thought on animals only began challenging these assertions during the 18th century. In our contemporary world animals are subjected to countless acts of violence that are both culturally and legally approved - violence that ranges from intensive agricultural systems to mass extinction through human activities. Industrialisation, domestication and capitalism have augmented human detachment from animals arriving at a point where they are perpetually objectified and commonly regarded as commodities for human consumption. I am interested in confronting anthropocentric ideas and activity, focusing on our complex relationship with animals. Reoccurring themes within my work address speciesism, objectification, manipulation, trauma and empathy. Dominion is an installation of drawings, an uncompromising look at the brutal reality of industrial farming and animal slaughter. 
Looking Glass:
A solo exhibition by Calum Fenton 2019 Graduate Residency Exhibition Sample-Studios Visual Arts Programme TACTIC presents an exhibition of new work Calum Fenton. Calum’s work looks at the contrast between domesticated nature and wild nature. The metaphor of the mirror or looking glass, refers to the process of looking into nature and seeing a reflection of ourselves. Opening online: Live online Wednesday 15th July, 1pm on TACTIC's Facebook and Instagram Pádraig Spillane in discussion with Calum Fenton 
Host
10-29 August Sample Studios hosted Cork Printmakers in The Lord Mayors Pavilion, Fitzgerald's Park: Host is an exhibition by Cork Printmakers hosted by Sample Studios in The Lord Mayors Pavilion, Cork City, nfeaturing the work of four artists: Aoife Claffey, Jennifer Cummins, Diane Keating and Rory O’ Mahony. These four artists are recipients of Cork Printmakers’ graduate bursary awards, from Limerick School of Art and Design and CIT Crawford College of Art and Design. The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion is a small Art Nouveau structure, built in 1901 for the International Industrial Exhibition to host distinguished guests and visiting dignitaries. Situated inside the main entrance to Cork City’s Fitzgerald Park, beside Cork Public Museum, the Lord Mayor’s Pavilion is now a contemporary arts project space and gallery, programmed by Sample-Studios under their Tactic Visual Arts Programme. In partnership with Sample-Studios, Cork Printmakers invited their graduate bursary award recipients to exhibit their work at the Lord Mayor's Pavilion in August in a slightly different format to usual, presenting work as part of the artists’ expanded printmaking practice. The artists’ work is exhibited in a way that visitors to Fitzgerald’s Park can view it through the windows, without the need to enter the building. This exhibition is entitled Host: a word with different interpretations, relating to hospitality, exhibitions, events, internet servers and the life cycle of a virus or parasite. The exhibition is concurrently presented online following documentation the work, allowing people to engage and interact with the work in a deeper way. The placement of the work in an online space questions the traditional exhibition format: how can galleries present work and how do audiences engage with art in this new age of physical distancing and restrictions? The building becomes a host, in which the artwork is put out into the world via the internet, but also has a physical manifestation in the Lord Mayor's Pavilion.
