Out Of Print
”Embedded within society, print has an historic and current relevance within art, design and communication. Despite the proliferation of virtual text and image, the world of actual printed surfaces and printed objects holds relevance in and beyond established modes of representation. Print marks our existence - from the images we treasure, the texts we read, the clothes we wear, the currency we trade - to how we understand our very existence. Impressed into our lives with an inherent integrity, print provides many other realities - from which we measure our sense of being. From a social anthropological sense - humankind (in contact with the world) leaves traces imprinted, stamped and eroded onto surfaces. Walking and way-finding on the earth and even on the moon, has left footprints, which record the course of our lives and evolution.”

Light Lines
Mermaid Arts Centre presents Light Lines, an exhibition of Black Church Print Studio members showcasing contemporary print in Ireland today. Exhibiting artists are Nick Boon, Anja Mahler, Fiona McDonald and Louise Peat.
An extremely physical process, print is produced from a copper plate, or block, emerging from a chemical reaction or carving away at the surface and then pressed, the resultant image showcases all the risk, skill, talent and unpredictable outcomes involved in this process. Demonstrating the raw, visceral materiality of print, the slap, peel and press of the process, and how it reflects the diversity of experience of our times, both material and ephemeral, Light Lines seeks to represent the depth, complexity and diversity of contemporary print in Ireland today.

Air Music. Radios, welding rods, fishing line, magnets, prints.
Sets of radios produce changing tones by modulating converging radio waves. They react to each other, passing viewers, and air currents thanks to pendulums hanging in the electromagnetic fields propagated around each extended aerial. Developed with Joeseph Bonfeild from UCD for the Tunnelling Art and Physics collaborative program. Based on an idea by Jesse Tarin.
