Ormston House presents Stuck, a decomposition, a solo exhibition by Daniel Tuomey. Conceived in response to the built heritage of Limerick, this site-responsive show centres around the motif of a narrator stuck inside the chimney of a Georgian townhouse.

This new body of work consists of sculpture, drawing, and vocal performance and is informed by research into Irish architectural and vocal traditions, half-true tales from family history, folkloric tangents, ghost stories, phonological digressions, and fossil-fuel-encrusted nightmares. Ultimately, this exhibition is a rumination upon the collapsing cultural inheritances we are all stuck with.

Tuomey was born in Dublin and currently lives and works in Rotterdam. He is a graduate of both the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. Recent exhibitions include Control Centre Charlois at Pallas Projects / Studios, Dublin, 2023; Frankenstein at Available & The Rat, Rotterdam, 2021; and Y O U N G F O S S I L at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2021 and 2022.

Full details coming soon. Please keep an eye on our social media and website.

Stuck, a decomposition is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Limerick City and County Council, and Limerick Arts Office. It is also partly made possible by the Mondriaan Fund, the public fund for visual art and cultural heritage in the Netherlands.
