South East Technological University B.A. (Hons) in Art

South East Technological University, in partnership with Wexford Arts Centre, is pleased to present the annual BA (Hons) in Art Graduate show titled Vision. The exhibition officially opens at 6pm on Thursday, the 15th of May, at Wexford Arts Centre.  All are welcome to attend.

VISION presents the work of nine BA (Hons) students from the Arts Campus of South East Technological University (SETU), Wexford.  The exhibition, produced individually and collectively over the past four years, features work by Anna Bekmansurova, Susan Birney-Gossage, Trish Cavanagh, Joe Doyle, Alicia Fortune, Sadhbh McCarthy McCool, Cody McEvoy, JP Sexton, and Iris Segaline. It is significant as it marks the start of each student’s professional career, showcasing and celebrating their practices while simultaneously culminating in a shared experience of creative growth and development.

The exhibition explores a wide range of themes that reflect the personal circumstances and interests of each student.  The work is rich in a diverse range of methodologies and materials, ranging from more traditional art-making processes of painting on canvas and photography to the more unconventional art practices of installation-based work, sound pieces, and object-based work. While the multidisciplinary processes allow the works to be individually distinct from one another visually, thematically the works interconnect, as, in contrasting ways, all seem to be concerned with notions of identity, social behaviours, place, and loss.

The Arts Campus at South East Technological University delivers an inquiring and testing space for students to learn, create, and develop over four years. This learning and progressive testing of creativity has been integral to students who are seeking to reflect, engage, and represent our cultural understanding of societal experiences.

Vision will run at the Wexford Arts Centre in the lower and upper galleries from Friday, 16th May. We are delighted to host the graduate exhibition once again and look forward to welcoming members of the community to our galleries.
