KATHERINE SANKEY

June 15 - September 05 2023

Katherine Sankey’s material hand-making art practice embodies the construction of semi-organic apparatuses that wrest with the absurdity, humour and horror of our relationship with and perception of our planetary host, Gaia. Her practice draws from a fascination with the dichotomy between the desperately precarious frailty of humans and our compulsive desire to ‘take over’ and persist.

The Last Great Album of the Decade

The Last Great Album of the Decade

Anne Maree Barry, Declan Clarke, Alan Phelan, Clíodhna Timoney, The Brian McMahon Archive (Brand New Retro)

March 22 - May 12 2019

The LAB Gallery is pleased to present the Last Great Album of the Decade in association with Musictown.  The exhibition is co-curated by Pádraic E Moore and Sheena Barrett and features new work by Anne Maree Barry, Declan Clarke, Alan Phelan and Cliodhna Timoney. The title is both suitably brash, claiming greatness, and mournful, in suggesting that it can’t be surpassed. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the musical relic and souvenirs of the subculture, taking in gigs in the 90s, a selection of zines from Brand New Retro, the Dublin rave scene in the early 2000s, the demise of rural nightclubs and journeys from early photographic experiments through to the potential backdrop for a new music video. Stepping into the Music Library at the Central Library in the Ilac Centre visitors can skip through genres via the biographies of musicians, sheet music, vinyl and cds and we’ve also planted copies of Eoin Devereux’s hidden track, along with Audrey Walshe’s botanical response to the show. In partnership with Musictown, we are also running two very special events, a screen-writing workshop for teenagers with Anne  Maree Barry in the Music Library and an historial music tour of the city with Donal Fallon. Bookings through Eventbrite. In addition to Dublin City Council this exhibition has been supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Inspirational Arts and Oonagh Young Gallery. We would also like to thank Rebecca O’Dwyer, Mark Clare, Liam O’Callaghan, Leagues O' Toole and Amy Nix (MusicTown) and the Gallery of Photography.

In Course of Rearrangement

Marielle MacLeman

January 24 - March 10 2019

Drawn to transitory aspects of site, Marielle MacLeman’s work explores the interconnection between place and our drive to create, collect, and understand, encompassing themes including land use, identity, and social mobility. Frequently transforming found or waste materials to evoke notions of the souvenir, she interrogates the limits of materials and their dialogue with narrative. Borrowing its title from museum lexicon, ‘In course of rearrangement’ is a playful exploration of our industrial and natural heritage, taking the changing fates of Ireland’s wool and silk weaving trades as a starting point.

His work is heavily influenced by the City’s flats and streetscape seen through an autobiographical lens, growing up as a young man. He is interested in the how we are influenced by our exterior surroundings, and how the built environment contributes to the individuals we become. His reflections on how young men might mask their authentic selves in particular environments are considered through ideas of the internal and external explorations into the architecture of the city.

Soon, buses of sightseers arrived in the local town, all on the hunt for supernatural phenomena in ditches, behind trees and up on the slopes of the nearby hill. The story persisted and crowds continued to arrive.

So Through The Singing Land He Passed

So Through The Singing Land He Passed

Sabina Mac Mahon

March 24 - June 11 2016

Sabina Mac Mahon’s work is largely research-based and concerned with credibility, plausibility and parafiction, as defined by Carrie Lambert-Beatty in relation to Rosalind Krauss’ use of the associated term ‘paraliterary’. Mac Mahon is interested in how a truthlikeness or quality of realism in something, combined with the manner in which it is presented to the viewer, can lead to its acceptance as true or real because of the likeliness of the proposition to the truth. The artefacts, texts and primary sources that she creates are simultaneously real, not real and not not-real, and her work can be interpreted as a species of ‘fictive’ art, whereby a fiction is presented as fact and subsequently attains a truth-status for some people, some of the time.
