“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it…” ― Wilferd Peterson

This is my favourite quote and one that I have only just discovered the real meaning and power of in the past couple of months. In a true act of serendipity I stumbled upon the Archie Talks event on Facebook (I always knew spending hours of my life on that site would eventually pay off) and at the beginning of March I went along and met superhero John Egan for the first time. Through John I was introduced to the wonderful world of Sandbox - a worldwide network of over 600 innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives and creators, leaders, achievers and impactors under the age of 30. The mission of this extraordinary community is to build meaningful relationships amongst like-minded peers around the globe and help them realise and grow their next big idea. When John told me about it I thought it sounded amazing and something that I really wanted to be a part of but I was slightly intimidated and didn’t think my humble credentials would live up to the standards of the incredible people that were already a part of this organisation. How and ever John recommended me to the head honchos in Zurich and I was invited to apply to join the Sandbox Dublin Class of 2012 who would form the Sandbox Dublin Hub that was to launch during a week of events in April. Winging my way through round one of the application process we were then asked to do something to WOW in order to prove our worthiness to join the cult (I use this term most affectionately) and help decide the final group who would make it through. Putting all my creative curating skills to use I installed a mammoth show at the gallery especially for Sandbox, filling the space with the entire contents of my stockroom. I then took a photo of myself in the middle of it all, blew the image up, printed it to the size of my desk and wrote my story on it. The story of how I came to be where I am, doing what I’m doing and loving it, the places and people that shaped and influenced me, the setbacks and the motivators, the endurance and the rewards along the way. However what I really wanted to convey was that this was just the beginning of my journey, a small part of a much bigger picture and a vision that I knew Sandbox could help me achieve. So I rolled up this little piece of me, tied a blue ribbon around it and sent it off to Zurich. Meanwhile in Dublin, I commissioned a little bribe in the form of a Sandbox cupcake (from the delicious Jennie’s Bake Shop) and sent it along with a mini version of my wow to John at the Archipelago HQ. A tactic that clearly worked because about a week later I got the news that I was in, officially indoctrinated as a Sandboxer. The week beginning 16th April saw Sandbox descend upon Dublin with speakers and attendees from all around the world including William McQuillan and Niamh Hughes at the Sandbox edition of the Archie Talks and Melissa Richer, Kyra Maya Philips, Kalsoom Lakhani and Tara Yip-Bannicq at an incredibly inspiring event organised in conjunction with Social Entrepreneurs Ireland at the Science Gallery. Endless dinners, workshops, pitching events and investor meet-ups also took place throughout the week culminating in a photocall and chat with Taoiseach Enda Kenny and the official launch of the Sandbox Dublin Hub at the Mansion House with the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton. We were entertained by the superbly talented singer (and fellow Sandbox newbie) Rebecca Winckworth and regaled with intros from Sandboxers Kane Sarhan, Bel Pesce, DJ Saul and Fraser Doherty. The week ended with a Sandbox retreat, with about 50 members trekking our way to Downings, Co. Donegal, one of the most beautiful places on earth where we had one of the most wonderful experiences. After the most enjoyable 7 hours I have ever spent in a car (none of the high achievers knew where they were going) we arrived to the Singing Pub and over the next couple of days met Goldi, Locks, Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear (brought to life by the enigmatic Stephen O’Leary in a rousing production of Bear B ‘n’ B), we ate, drank, sang, danced, played games (drinking or otherwise), barbecued, walked, hiked, got tattoos (not real ones) learned about each other, revealed our greatest challenges and happiest moments, watched the sun set and a paper lantern rise and for us newbies discovered the real value of what it is to be a Sandboxer, to be part of a group with a unique vision to change the world in which we live and who know that with mutual support and understanding that is wholly possible. The past few weeks have been some of the most inspiring and gratifying of my life because of the amazing people that I have met and the friends that I have made. I have learned that in order to be the best you can possibly be and achieve the most that you possibly can achieve you have to surround yourself with people who are better than you, cleverer than you and braver than you, and that’s what this serendipitous encounter has provided for me. Through all of this I was constantly reminded of one of the greatest challenges that I had to face during the period while I was setting up the gallery, and that was the loss of my gorgeous good friend Dan Egan. He was a dreamer and a believer who wanted to make a difference, loved passion and diversity in people and places and was often lost but always smiling. I have thought about him a lot through this recent journey, and he will always be amongst those who propel me forward. Here’s to many more happy, fun and revealing Sandbox experiences!

And The Love Kickstarts Again 

On the 1st March I went along to my first ever Archie Talks - an event whose sole mission is to teach a turtle to climb a tree. Gathering together Ireland’s new generation of young entrepreneurs to share their knowledge, stories and experience with one another these events foster a unique atmosphere of innovation and enterprise, perpetuating the ‘Yes we can’ attitude of the Irish business world. Also for the first time Archie Talks were awarding a KickStarter prize to a start up business and KTcontemporary was one of the three finalists. What ensued was a ferocious Facebook/Twitter/Text campaign as a live vote took place throughout the course of the evening, and I am delighted to say that we eventually came out on top! In a head to head battle we came joint first with Fabsie, another very cool, clever and creative start-up producing digital design. At the moment we are busy putting our very generous prize to good use including consultation services from The Searchmill and Content Kings. Big thanks to John Egan, Steven Menton and all at Archie Talks and Archipelago. Watch this space for some upcoming, exciting collaboration… ;)

what’s behind the magic door

KTcontemporary were delighted to participate in VUE: National Contemporary Art Fair at the RHA, Dublin in November. Exhibiting alongside Ireland’s top established galleries including the Kerlin Gallery, Rubicon Gallery, Taylor Galleries, Green on Red Gallery and Hilsboro Fine Art it was a great opportunity to cement our position as the youngest gallery on the domestic contemporary art scene. An enjoyable and successful weekend was had by all and KTcontemporary were the (unofficial) winners of the prize for best booth. ;) 

Following that we had a tremendous opening at the gallery for KTcontemporary artist Leah Hewson, who was joined by family including Bono & Ali Hewson. The body of wok titled what’s behind the magic door was extremely well received and in attendance were well known Irish creatives designer Joanne Hynes, artist Guggi and gallery regular and music-maker James O’Neill aka Bitches With Wolves. Also unveiled was amazing new work by guest artist Darina Meagher. Best night yet! If you missed the exhibition you can still catch some of the pieces by Leah Hewson and Darina Meagher in our Christmas show continuing until December 23rd.

This Could Be a Place of Historical Importance… (Braco Dimitrijevic) 

Everyone’s talking about Dublin Contemporary. Opened by Sir Bob at the beginning of September to feverous media attention this is a contemporary art exhibition the likes of which Ireland has never seen before. After a troublesome start, with budgets squandered and the original curator unceremoniously removed, the project was finally taken under hand by two new curators -  Jota Castro and Christian Viveros-Fauné - with just a six month lead in (and it took just as long for us to learn how to pronounce their names and work out where they came from - one Jewish Franco-Peruvian via Brussels, one ‘New York based’). So in typical Irish fashion a project that should have been given two years to spend its multi-million euro government funded budget was completed rather hastily in just 24 weeks. And here we have it, Dublin Contemporary 2011: Terrible Beauty - Art, Crisis, Change and The Office of Non Compliance, an exhibition set to demonstrate contemporary visual art’s engagement with social, cultural and economic tryst. And what an amazing job they have done in such a short amount of time! The main exhibition is located in the disused UCD building at Earslfort Terrace and not a thing has been done to the site, making the building as much a part of the exhibition as the art itself. The work is mainly video and installation based and there is a lot of it (if you watched all the films from beginning to end you would most likely be there for days!). Set within the old classrooms each artist has been given a dedicated space so that it almost becomes a series of individual presentations unified by the wonderful sounds that echo throughout the institutional halls - exploding cans in Nevan Lahart’s brilliant installation made entirely of materials sourced in the abandoned building, Carole Mucke’s hiccuping sculpture, the trumpet in Hacker Tellez’s video One Flew Over The Void and nails grating against pumping speakers in Mounir Fatmi’s ‘magic carpet’ like piece. Some rooms are even decked out like student flats with dusty armchairs and found couches that you can settle into to watch work by Doug Fishbone and Bjorn Melhus. There is colour, entertainment, insight, horror, mammoth scale, interaction, originality, humour, wit, irony, emotion, sentiment, extraordinary beauty and wild, wacky artwork to be discovered in every nook and cranny. Highlights for me came from artists that I had never heard of or those who failed to make the ‘superstar list’ that according to many should have been there to draw in the crowds (Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin etc.) but to my mind are the far more exciting next generation of big names - Teresa Margolles’ City Keys / Las Llaves de la Ciudad is as moving an installation as we have come to expect from this Mexican artist, Wilfredo Prieto Nebulosa’s barbed wired room is simply stunning, David Godbold’s A Little of What You Fancy [does you good… My arse it does] is typically tongue in cheek as is William Powhida’s impressive series of drawings surmising on the demise of the art world, Jim Lambie brings his usual mishmash of disco chic, Kadir Attia makes plastic bags look inexplicably beautiful , The Earth Seen From The Moon by Maarten Vanden Eynde is clever, Matt Calderwood’s Six Sculptures video piece is perfectly composed, Liam O’Callaghan’s installation in the hallway upstairs is one of the best in the show and needless to say Thomas Hirschhorn’s gigantic piece located in the annex, The Green Coffin, is incredibly powerful. In the entire exhibition there were only three painters that I saw -  Mairead o’hEocha, Anna Bjerger and Brian Maguire (the only work that was not allowed to be photographed) - but it’s not an element that I missed very much or thought lacking because it’s just not that kind of show, the building has been utilised to its core with these really impressive installations and the work is rich in subject matter and satisfying. It’s hard to communicate the scale and importance of this exhibition to the general public who have no interest in contemporary art and unfortunately this is one area that the festival has failed in. In most other countries around the world people are used to seeing contemporary visual art of this nature, from such an eclectic mix of international artists, but not in Ireland, and there is a distinct lack of information here. The only way people will appreciate and enjoy this type of show is with some wall text (a la Tate) and I can’t understand why it’s not there, at times it’s even hard to find the artist’s name and the title of the piece. Despite this, and other minor criticisms, it is for me thoroughly exciting that an exhibition like this has found it’s way to Dublin and I can only hope that it will return in bi/triennial style bigger and better the next time.

Well that was a long Summer break… 

First and foremost what’s happening at KT? We painted a great big ART on the side of the building just in time for the launch of the Autumn season, which opened with the aptly named exhibition ArtNow featuring 7 up-and-coming artists based in Ireland. The opening party was part of the Dublin Contemporary 2011 [more on that later] Circle Programme and I was delighted to welcome co-curator Jota Castro to the gallery (pictured with me here). With a very swift turnover our next exhibition Revenge of The Pleasure Principle just opened last Friday night to rapturous support from Beck’s Vier - mmmm. Featuring the work of Irish artist Enda Mac Nally, who recently finished his MA at Central St. Martins in London and the VERY exciting Scottish twosome Littlewhitehead. Collected by Saatchi and exhibiting all over the world (London, Milan, LA, St. Petersburg, the list goes on…) I am delighted to be showing Littlewhitehead’s provocative, creepy and darkly humorous hyper-realistic sculptures in Dublin for the first time. This is an exhibition not to be missed.

Love Is What You Want… 

It’s been a busy couple of months in and out of the gallery what with the Royal Wedding, the Queen’s visit, Obama dropping in, a few trips of my own, and lots of events and exhibitions opening and closing I have hardly had time to breathe!

Our current exhibition Random Specific by Danleo opened on the 12th May in conjunction with le cool Dublin and boy do those folks draw a big crowd! With drinks by Heineken and music by The Kilo, Dan’s show kicked off to a roaring start as the coolies of Dublin descended on D4 for one night only, before retreating back to the safe haven of the Bernard Shaw to carry on the party. It was a huge success and because the exhibition is proving so popular (and so much work went into it!) it will be open for most of June - lucky you. Be sure to come see this show, you won’t be disappointed. 

Prior to that we had a whirlwind weekend with Donnybrook Flair, an event celebrating artisan enterprise in the village. Opened by Leinster Rugby captain (and now Heineken Cup winning) Leo Cullen and the Lord Mayor Gerry Breen we were well fed, watered and entertained by all the local businesses for the weekend. 

Yesterday we opened a special exhibition with work by a selection of KTcontemporary artists at the Microsoft Ireland headquarters in Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18. I was delighted to be asked to curate this show and it is great to see a corporation like Microsoft still supporting the arts as so many have pulled back in the past couple of years. The exhibition is open to the public until Friday 27th May during office hours or by appointment - get in touch for details. 

In other news Kinsale Arts Week officially launches TODAY! Keep an eye on the website where the program will soon be unveiled and look out for press mentions with the highlights to come. I am currently going through the last few submissions for the Manifest exhibition and will be making my final selections VERY soon so if you haven’t applied already get your skates on before it’s too late. Another great festival coming up this summer will be the PhotoIreland festival and KTcontemporary will be showing work by artists Linda Brownlee and Holly McGlynn opening on the 1st July. The PhotoIreland website will also be published this week so give it a google in the next few days, it’s going to be jam packed full of exciting events. 

I am also really looking forward to degree show season and hope to catch a few of the exhibitions in Dublin and London, the problem is there are too many in too short a space of time! But I will be on the lookout for some great young things so will get my calendar out, do up a timetable and try to see as many as I can. To help me with my scheduling problems I am also looking for a summer intern, so if you are interested or know somebody who might be please send on CVs!

To finish up, last Tuesday in London I was fortunate enough to get to go to the opening of Tracey Emin’s mid career retrospective, Love Is What You Want, at the Hayward. I love Tracey Emin, I think she’s a fabulously ludicrous character and she is one of the rare women who has succeeded in establishing herself amongst the big men of the contemporary art world. The work was as unashamedly self-indulgent as you’d expect, parts of the exhibition I didn’t like, parts of it I adored, but it is undoubtedly a seminal show both for Emin herself and this generation of female artists. The images above are two sneaky photos we managed to get on on our phones before we were given out to - a detail from one of the ten or so mammoth appliqued blankets and some of the infamous neon text pieces. The exhibition runs until 29th August - go see! Check out the Southbank Centre website for more info or there is a good review by Laura Cumming on the Guardian website. 

Next on my list to go see are exhibitions in DUBLIN (I never get time anymore!) - Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera at IMMA and Repo Man at the Kerlin.

In the days of the comet - British Art Show 7  While in London last week I went to see the British Art Show, currently at the Hayward Gallery in the Southbank Centre. The British Art Show is organsied by the Hayward and happens every 5 years in the UK, opening in Nottingham and then touring to venues in London, Plymouth and Glasgow. It’s a major exhibition of current work, showcasing an ambitious and intelligent collection of contemporary British art made since 2005, many pieces being especially commissioned for the show. I was really excited to see this exhibition as it was co-curated by one of my favourite tutors at Sotheby’s, Lisa Le Feuvre, and you can really see her stamp all over it. Drawing on the theme from the title In the Days of the Comet, the work, from about 39 artists, deals with notions of time and endurance along with varying ideas of an intangible and imploding universe, the evolving nature of the world and cyclical happenings or recurrences, and the exhibition reflects these themes by altering slightly from city to city with new works being added and some taken away.   The durational aspect of the curatorial concept is a particular interest of Lisa’s and for me it was nice to see some of her theory put into action. Having said that I can’t say that I liked the exhibition all that much. The Hayward itself is quite literally a brutal building and despite its reputation as a gallery and influence on the discourse of contemporary art, it’s a space that I’ve always found hard to get to grips with, and this exhibition, like many others there, left me cold. While I loved a lot of the work on show, the sinister, somewhat ominous tones throughout the exhibition were a little too much for me. It is quite clearly a very intelligently put together exhibition, but the dense emphasis on the curatorial theory made it heavy and somewhat disengaging or removed. ‘British Art Show’ is a difficult and broad remit to fill (physically or otherwise) and for me this was just a little too constrained. HOWEVER, there are many highlights and examples of excellence in contemporary British art, and it is well worth going to see: **My favourite: Maaike Schoorel - beautiful paintings that I was really delighted to see in the show because I own one! So very exciting for me! My parents bought my piece for me as a birthday gift a few years ago after I spotted it in Maureen Paley gallery in Bethnal Green, it’s called Katherine (with a ‘K’, like me!) and it hangs above my bed in my flat in London. Everyone who sees it asks why I have a plain white canvas hanging on my wall, so this is a little bit of validation.  **Lots of great video work: Most notably Christian Marclay’s latest work The Clock. This is a 24-hour long piece in which the artist has edited together Hollywood film scenes depicting clocks, watches and particular times. The piece is then synchronised to local time and runs continuously. That was no mean feat for the artist! The piece was just shown in New York and I had read a great review by the infamous Jerry Saltz so it was a nice surprise to find it here.  **Sarah Lucas: One the greatest of the Young British Artists from the 90s and one of my favourite artists ever shows a recent series of stuffed nylon tights called NUDS.  **Roger Hiorns: A flaming bench occasionally tended to by a naked man - what’s not to love? Unfortunately I missed the naked man.  **Wolfgang Tilmans: His Truth Study Center was created especially for the exhibition and is a collection of cuttings from newspapers, magazines and advertisements installed in tabletops. A lot of the imagery appealed to my feminist side.  For more info click on the photo above to go through to the website.

Mick made one for me for Christmas and I love it, can’t get enough of it, I only want him to make me more… Please? Anyway click on the link to read what he has to say about the whole affair.
