EXHIBITIONS 2018
NOEL MOLLOY / DO YOU CARE FOR TEA?
The Courthouse Gallery and Studios
Ennistymon, Co Clare
Exhibition: Saturday 5th May - Saturday 16th June 2018
In the Red Couch Space, Roscommon-based artist Noel Molloy show work originally created for the Sligo’s Hawk’s Well Theatre Mad Hatter children's programme. His sculptural wall relief works are inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic surreal characters in Through the Looking Glass. The book’s tale of confusion, bewilderment and fantastical imagery provide Molloy with a rich palette to draw upon. In this exhibition aimed at children and young people, the artist uses found objects to create bold images of the White Rabbit et al, which are also brought to like in an accompanying film.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF IRELAND TODAY EXHIBITION MARCH- APRIL, 2018
Opening Reception: 7pm Friday, March 16 www.dupontunderground.org/ www.solasnua.org/
Featured Artists: David Bickley, Myrid Carten, Conall Cary, Brian Crotty, Lisa Freeman, Ruth le Gear, Michael Hanna, Anita Groener, Jonah King, Pawel Kleszczewski & Kasia Zimnoch, Hugh McCabe & Suzanne Walsh, Noel Molloy, Jenny Newman, Leonard Sheil, Fifi Smith, Mieke Vanmechelen, Mary-Ruth Walsh, Adrian Wojtas and Sean Wrenn.
Location: Dupont Underground, 19 Dupont Circle NW, Washington, DC 20036
Solas Nua, in collaboration with Dupont Underground is proud and excited to present Sights and Sounds of Ireland Today or in Ireland’s native Gaelic language Radhairc agus Glórtha na hÉireann Faoi Láthair. It is an exhibition that explores the field of contemporary video art production in Ireland today. It is the first significant survey of Irish visual art to be presented in the Washington DC area.
The vision for this exhibition was to discover what Irish visual artists consider video art to be today and what they wanted to communicate through their work. One of the big questions when curating this exhibition was to determine what video art is and how it differs from film. Traditionally, video art in visual art was defined as differing from film in its disregard for the mechanisms of traditional movie-making (i.e. it has a storyline with actors and dialogue) – while the video artist is concerned with exploring the medium itself, or to use it to challenge the viewer's ideas of form, time and space. Today however, that definition is no longer applicable as visual artists will adopt a range of styles and tools and frequently crossover to traditional filmmaking. Decisions on what works to include here were based on artistry, skill and subject matter. What do these works convey to us about Ireland, its artists and its people? You the viewer are invited to decide.
Opening night will feature curator, Jackie Hoysted in conversation with Andy Johnson of the Corcoran College of Art and artist, Jonah King.
