There is No True Meaning of Art
Reception: Friday 27th November 6 – 9pm
Open 27th – 29th November
12 – 9pm Friday, 12 – 5pm Saturday and Sunday
Curated by Ailve McCormack
 
There is No True Meaning of Art
The early 20th Century poet Paul Valéry once said that “there is no true meaning of a text”. In the intimate setting of Project Space at The Market Studios, the work of three contemporary artists will show that his belief can certainly be applied to art in the 21st Century.
The work of Irish artists Mark Garry, Deborah Smith and Polish artist Katarzyna Gajewska, leaves the viewer with a sense of ambiguity and invites interpretation within a contemplative space.
The potential for this reflective environment is produced by the engaging, yet unexplained, content of the art. The exhibition’s small setting is also central in creating an atmosphere of personal contemplation and interpretation.
Mark Garry exhibited in ‘Frequency’ earlier this year at the Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane and has also exhibited at the RHA. With his work Mark is “interested in creating ethereal relationships where the opportunity is present to bring one's own associations and connections to bear on the elements that are presented.”
Katarzyna Gajewska moved to Ireland in 2005 and has been working here since. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout Ireland and Poland. She aims not to present aesthetically beautiful pieces but to generate some personal meaning for each viewer. Her work often evokes a sense of uncertainty and can produce contrasting emotions in different people.
Deborah Smith is an up-and-coming artist who is currently in her final year at Dun Laoghaire’s Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT). Her work focuses on particular moments that we often let pass us unawares and she presents them in a way that allows us a moment of reflection.
Ailve McCormack is currently studying for a Masters in Visual Arts Practices in IADT and is concentrating her studies on curatorial practice.

Mere Coincidence?

New work by Fintan Friel


Opens Friday, September 11th / 6-9pm (Music by DJ Caroline)
Exhibition continues 12-19th September, closed Sunday & Monday


Unit H Exhibition & Project Space , The Market Studios, Halston St. Dublin 7

------------------------------..------------------------------..------------------------------..--

'Perhaps true, total photography is a pile of fragments of private
images, against the creased background of massacres and coronations.'
Italo Calvino (The adventure of a Photographer) 1958.

The title of this exhibition 'Mere Coincidence?' refers to how meaning is constructed in the context of Art practice, how ambiguous narratives become solid forms and how 'mistakes are the portals of discovery' (James Joyce). The exhibition opens on September 11th and includes a work which specifically references the mediation of the
9/11 disaster. The front page of the New York Times from the day after 9/11 is sampled and re-configured with personal photographs, replacing the spectacular with the subjective as a narrative about individual personal experience of the event in terms of memory.

Using the motif of a vandal 'keying' a car this classic, minimal graffiti mark is referenced, deconstructed and re-constructed throughout the show in a series of works which explore the context of public space (the street) combining photography, screen-print and spray-paint.

The exhibition culminates in a newly created public space which Friel has renovated and produced using found materials from the local Market area. Installing seating and a DJ facility this out-door roof-space has been re-purposed as a club (social space) called 'Mere Coincidence?' for the opening night and the music will be provided by DJ Caroline (found tunes and electro..market beats re-mixed for your dancing pleasure).

Fintan Friel graduated from The University of Ulster in Belfast in 1992 with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art and his casual and mundane relationship with graffiti has grown out of living and working in New York and Melbourne. He has been resident in The Market Studios since July '08 and previous exhibitions include 'Rhythm-a-Ning' which was commissioned by Context Gallery (Derry).

Gillian Fitzpatrick:
And the stars look very different today
 
20th July 1969 - 20th July 2009

6-8pm 20/07/09

 
A one night only exhibition on the 40th Anniversary of the first
landing on the moon.
 
@ Unit H, The Market Studios, Corner of Halston St. & Mary's Lane

 
 
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
 
I'm stepping through the door
 
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
 
And the stars look very different today”
 
David Bowie A Space Oddity 1969
 
 
Inspired by Space Age designs and ideas, and sci-fi films, Gillian
Fitzpatrick explores the possibilities contained in the promises of the
early years of space exploration. The first Moon landing marks the
point where science fiction and real events came together, and for a
while it seemed that the vision of humans travelling the galaxy,
exploring and living on other planets might become more than sci-fi fantasy.
 
Within Fitzpatrick’s work nostalgia for the unlimited potential of
this un-realised future is combined with the complicated realities of
the present.
 
Using waste packaging and found objects, Fitzpatrick creates the
appearance of futuristic Space Age technology thus highlighting the
21st century concern for recycling in contrast to the ideal of the
new, at the height of space exploration in the 60’s. This reflects a
much altered public awareness about our planets resources and
invincibility.
 
Fitzpatrick works in video, sculpture and installation. The exhibition
will land for one night only.

Marta Fernández Calvo
Preview 6 - 8pm Wednesday 17 June
Continues Thur 18 – Sun 28 June, 2009
Closed Monday – Wednesday.

The Market Studios
Project Space
Corner of Halston Street and Mary’s Lane, Dublin 7
Event with guests Chequerboard and Paco Ramos,
6- 8pm Thursday 25 June
 
This exhibition is the third stage of a continuing artistic structure called The Rain Project. Marta Fernández Calvo has developed The Rain Project with Irish musician Chequerboard and Spanish artist Paco Ramos as guest collaborators over 2008 and 2009. The work refers to the eighteen different words used in the Japanese language to describe rain: from subtle spring rain to the rain shower, from the rain storm to the hailstorm. The overall project represents the formalization of an itinerant process, based upon the localization and the mapping process of rain in different urban scenarios. The artwork had involved three cities: Milan, Logroño and Dublin.
 
On Thursday 25th June, there will be an event within the space. The aim is to show installation ‘site specific reactions’ to Paco’s and Chequerboard’s entrance in the space and to celebrate the first time that the three of us will meet in the same space at the same time. The rain will become for us, a way to explore the hybrid descriptions between installation, performance, illustration, sound and the great pleasure of working together.

This exhibition & event is part of the Project Room Summer Programme which is being programmed by The lovely Aine Ivers!
