DUBLIN CONTEMPORARY 2011, IRELAND'S INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION 6TH SEPTEMBER-31ST OCTOBER 2011
DUBLIN CONTEMPORARY, IRELAND’S INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION, 2011 OPENS!
Ireland’s international art exhibition, Dublin Contemporary 2011, turns the city into a vibrant art gallery from September 6th to October 31st 2011.
Responding to the theme Terrible Beauty—Art, Crisis, Change & The Office of Non-Compliance, and led by curators Jota Castro and Christian Viveros-Fauné, the exhibition presents the work of more than 100 of the world’s most exciting artists, whose artworks will establish Dublin as the destination to discover the latest in Irish and international contemporary art.
The main exhibition hub at Earlsfort Terrace will show a variety of artworks in a range of unusual spaces, including a 6 meter long ceramic squid by artist David Zink-Yi and an enormous crib with a multi-TV screen mobile by Chinese artist Wang Du. Visitors can also expect to enjoy an intriguing series of street works disseminated in 22 locations around Dublin, as well as sculptures in the Iveagh Gardens. The art trail continues with exhibitions at the nearby Royal Hibernian Academy, which will house Lisa Yuskavage’s unique brand of painted ladies, new installations and paintings in The National Gallery of Ireland and Douglas Hyde Gallery at Trinity College, as well as a solo show by Willie Doherty at the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.
Adding to this, Jimmy Deenihan TD., Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht said “Dublin Contemporary 2011 will provide new opportunities for Irish artists, as well as significant opportunities to cultivate deeper public engagement with the arts. As Ireland’s first major international art event, Dublin Contemporary 2011 will further enhance Dublin’s image as a vibrant city to live, work, and play. I am very much looking forward to seeing the art works over the coming weeks.”

• Stunning photos of Congolese guerrillas by Irish artist Richard Mosse
