Luan Gallery is delighted to present Athrú, an Invocation, a group exhibition featuring Irish artists Mark Clare, Rosie O’Reilly, and Teresa Dillon, curated by Aoife Banks.

Athrú, an Invocation is a multi-disciplinary group show presenting work by Mark Clare, Teresa Dillon, and Rosie O’Reilly. Responding to the many ways in which biosystems, animal, and plant lives have been affected by climate change across Ireland and beyond, Athrú, an Invocation draws our attention to the transformative potentiality that sustainable practices and behavioural change can invoke. Exhibiting artists utilise a wide array of natural materials including rushes and mycelium fungus and explore topics such as the extinction of indigenous Irish insect species, the lives of sea urchins affected by changing oceanic PH levels, and the life and death of the now extinct Irish Rannoch-Rush.
