Curated by Linda Shevlin

Fingal Arts Office is delighted to present the work of Ella De Burca, Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty, with its annual exhibition opportunity Amharc Fhine Gall X. The opportunity also extends to a curator who works with the artist to create a suitable context to show their work to a wider local and contemporary art audience, this year the show was curated by Linda Shevlin.

We are caught in a temporal flux, oscillating between future and past while often disregarding the here and now. For if the New, as a cultural and material trope, is bound to the future, and history is anchored to the past, how and when are we left to consider our present?

The specifically commissioned new works in this exhibition were created by revisiting historical material and overlapping major and minor narratives across multiple times and places, exposing larger historical and social narratives.

Each of these artists bring into play memory, hearsay, oral and archival history to construct new readings of the past. The exhibition aims to lay emphasis on the idea that the visual is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural, political, personal, and national identities.
