Until Jun 29: Echos and Edges - Denis Kelly. Kelly takes the elements that are in the world and
plays with them, his focus is on geometric forms and space, seeing beauty in an angle, a line, a rectangle and placing it in a field of colour, throwing a
shadow, playing with a sea of blue, allowing a story by a yellow pool, shifting a tension, hearing an echo as in a response to architectural space. The exhibition is supported by Kildare County Council

 

From Jul 15: No Ordinary Love - Aidan Kelly. As a photographer,
Aidan Kelly uses both traditional analogue and digital techniques to create works that draw on
street photography but also offer a commentary on Dublin City and how it has evolved over the years.
The exhibition attempts to understand these changes to the city and his personal relationship
with it. Using the idea of a relationship where the city takes the form of a lady, a woman not unlike loves him. Part of this work is a series set around
the spire that ties in with the idea of people waiting and hoping and a city in flux. These works have conversations about the future, love for a city, and
can it be better? The political subtext expands the idea for further works or a resolution
