18.6. – 28.6.2009
The Market Studios
Project Space
Corner of Halston Street and Mary’s Lane
Dublin 7

Preview Wednesday, 17.6., 6 – 8pm.
Event with guests Chequerboard and Paco Ramos, Thursday 25.6., 6 – 8pm.
Open Thursday – Sunday 2 – 7pm. Closed Monday – Wednesday.

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.

This is what happens when you are not here starts from an analysis of the exhibition space. Last Sunday,  as I was in the exhibition space, the light there changed within seconds and minutes, in quick fadings in and out. Rather than being stable, everything seemed to move in a frenetic wave of changing intensities. I focused my attention on the traces of light that penetrated through the windows near the ceiling. A large, discontinuous line of light divided the space in two parts with different brightnesses and luminosities. I decided to make things happen in the lightest part. The exhibition is presented as a live organism; a process sensitive to light and time as a way of being in the space.

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 into 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.

Flux Clinic Dublin

  

Flux Clinic Dublin is a one day event that is an evolution rather than a reenactment of that original Flux Clinic. Catalysed by & derived from notes by Larry Miller on the original Flux Clinic, this event will incorporate ‘experiments in measurement’, some extrapolated from the original Hi Red Group Flux Clinic, and others developed by a team of flux clinicians with contributing experiments & visual research donated by the 1st Class students of Balbriggan Educate Together National School under the guidance of teacher Elaine Gleeson. In the same vein (so-to-speak) as Larry Miller’s philosophy of ‘art-as-experiment’, the public are invited to come and engage with these experiments in measurement at Flux Clinic Dublin.
The Flux Clinic will take place at The Market Studios, Corner of Mary’s Lane & Halstrom St, Dublin 7, Saturday May 9th from 2 – 4pm. Curated by Jessica Foley for thisisnotshop with assistance from Aidan O’Donovan and Nina Sigurd, supported by The Market Studios.

For directions to The Market Studios see our Contact page.  Audience/patients of all ages are welcome.

Role Play

Louise Ward & Amy Walsh

The Market Studios

exhibition & project space

Exhibition continues until this Sun. 19 April,

10am – 6pm daily. Also by appointment from Mon. 20 – Thurs. 23 April.

Louise Ward’s interest lies in the accidental and the unintentional in
art, and the point at which the artist intervenes with the accidental. She
finds spontaneity and familiarity in random objects, marks and stains in her
everyday environment. In her approach she explores this subtle familiarity
through the use of found objects, sculpture installation, painting,
performance, sound and video.

Amy Walsh is interested in creating work that responds to place and the
everyday.  In her current series of work Walsh combines early moving image
and filmmaking techniques with newer digital technologies. She uses multiple
screens, projection, audio and installation to explore narrative and to
stimulate a dialogue with the viewer.

An artist initiated exhibition,
independent of UNIT H curated programme.

River of Stars and Shadows

Joe Coveney

Space2 and Unit H; The Market Studios 

exhibition & project space

Opening 6 pm, Fri. 19 Dec, 2008

Exhibition continues until Sun. 21 Dec

Joseph Coveney is an Irish artist, currently based in Dublin.  He studied painting at NCAD, and in 2006 qualified with an MA in sculpture from Winchester School of Art, England. Subsequently, he has been working in his studio and developing his role as a facilitator.  

Last year he had a successful solo exhibitionin Droichead Arts Centre, and has recently been developing his website and working towards this show.

This exhibition showcases new drawings that take “The Sunrise Ruby” by Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, as a starting point. The work develops in series, establishing a visual language that initiates conversations between the various aspects of the piece. It grows from traditional formal concerns and revisits the works of early modernist abstract painters such as Kandinski, Agnes Martin and Sonia Delaunay.

The title for the show is taken form “Before the Battle” by Siegfried Sassoon.  Poetry has a significant influence on the work, specifically looking at its quality of openness and embrace of multiply interpretations.  The installation is intended to initiate inquest and ideally provides a point of departure for the viewers’ imagination.
