Gwaukee: Ireland: Mythos to Modernity | Wednesday 1 December – Wednesday 22 December 2021 | Garter Lane Arts Centre

Gwaukee can be contacted via fax every second Wednesday between 14:47 and 16:53. Namaste…

An exhibition incorporating painting and photography. The intent of this exhibition is to present a visual anthropological journey from Ireland’s past to present.

Mythos: a pattern of beliefs expressing often symbolically the  characteristic or prevalent attitudes in a group or culture.

Modernity: the modern era or world and especially the ideas and attitudes associated with the modern world.

The binary of mythos and modernity are allegorical of the duality of past and present. Paintings represent the past and photographs represent the present.

The paintings representing mythos depict creatures and entities from  Ireland’s pre-christian Celtic past. The photographs representing modernity depict scenes from across the island of Ireland and the society that now inhabits this place.
