Why not come and meet the artists at the Sirius Art Centre over the Easter holidays? Saturday’s 11th, 18th & 25th of April from 3-4.30pm during the month of April there is an opportunity to meet and chat with the artists whose work is currently on show. Generation and People-Tools-Cities are two shows running side by side until the 26th of April.
Generation is a public participation project with GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Program). The project invited people of varying ages to create works on the subject of age; the work of both children and older people are presented together, portraying the curiosity and magic of childhood through to the experience of those in later years. Generation is in collaboration with St Luke’s nursing home in Cork and Cork Educate Together National School.
People-Tools-Cities features the work of three artists from GASP who have been working in Cork city; each artist focusing on a chosen subject. Yvonne Condon considers the portrait, inspired by the black and white photographs of August Sander shown at Sirius in 2014. Idé Ní Shúilleábháin focuses on tools, influenced by Konrad Klapheck paintings, while Rosaleen Moore explores the city, observing buildings and painting from memory.
GASP is developed through the COPE Foundations’ Arts Programme directed by Hermann Marbe.
There are a number of additional events associated with this project: guided tours (schools/public) & a pop-up cafe every Thursday between 12-2pm. For more information please contact the Sirius Arts Centre on 021 481 3790 or email info@siriusartscentre.ie
