How The Image Echoes (Part 1)
PS2, Belfast, 16 - 21 September 2019
Brian Bishop, Majella Clancy, Susan Connolly, Joy Gerrard, Christopher Hanlon, Paddy McCann, Dougal McKenzie and Louise Wallace
Featuring works by Brian Bishop, Majella Clancy, Susan Connolly, Joy Gerrard, Christopher Hanlon, Paddy McCann, Dougal McKenzie and Louise Wallace, this exhibition seeks to address the ways in which the artists’ works may be considered within our wider ‘image culture’ today.
The digital world of the camera, the screen, social media and the internet have, in less than two decades, created immeasurable numbers of images across new platforms. This exhibition seeks to raise the questions: What constitutes ‘an image’ when making art, and what, if anything, makes this different from the other multifarious ways of delivering images as outlined above?

Belfast Print Workshop: Multi Matrix: Printmaking Symposium
Friday 13th March, 2020 The MAC, belfast
The common definition of matrix is ‘the cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops’. In printmaking ‘matrix’ refers to the source - plate, stone, screen.. from which the image originates - each process lends unique characteristics to the final product. Increasingly, the environment for art-making is cross disciplinary, combining mediums, techniques and influences. There is a need for artists, arts organisations and educational institutions alike to utilise a range of skills and services to remain sustainable and diversify income sources. The symposium will respond to this need by offering:
Fresh perspectives for approaching print from other areas of artist practice
Inspiration for applying print within education and well-being
Sharing of ‘best practice’ experience for finding a market for artwork and related skills
