1. Sustainable Futures: exhibition opening on Thursday 25 March 2010, 5.00-6.30pm
Facilitated by Diarmuid Neilan
James Carroll, Martha Cashman, Kevin Callaghan, Bernadette Dignam, Ruth Crean, Roisin Duffy, Gillian Freedman, Friederike Grace, Hannah McGuinness, Michael Parkinson, Sheena Power, Rebekah Patterson, Olga Tiernan, Richard Beer, Alexandria Reynolds, Tina Missy Bonkers, Sophie Rieu, Lesley Stothers, Brigitta Varadi, Tunde Toth, Cortney Westhoff, Lynda Tobin-Howes, Tom Campbell, Lyn Mac Pherson
Sustainable Futures will celebrate the works of Irish based artists that incorporate the concept of sustainability into their work. Organiser Diarmuid Neilan says “The exhibition is all about the Re-using, Recycling and Revaluing of waste materials. The exhibited works show how the artists have taken throw-away waste material with no perceived value, and through the creative process, have turned them into valued art pieces.”
The works on show will be an eclectic mix of craft, design and fine art elements including textiles, furniture, ceramics, fashion, jewellery, mixed media and sculpture. The exhibition also aims to increase awareness among the general public of the importance of sustainability.
A number of workshops and demonstrations by artists will take place over the course of the exhibition and the public will be encouraged to participate. The aim of the workshops will be to show the participants how they too can recreate valued art from waste materials. The workshops will include paper art, eco-fashion and eco-furniture making.
Exhibitors have incorporated some or all of the following sustainable attributes into their work:
• reduce, reuse, recycle, upcycle;
• containing reused or recycled materials;
• minimising packaging;
• minimise or eliminate pollutants;
• source and produce locally;
• efficient resource and energy use;
• free from environmentally damaging substances;
• degradable, biodegradable and compostable;
• sustainable production, distribution, usage and disposal qualities.

Karl’s work is primarily concerned with perceptions of space and time, taking the form of installations, photographs, video and sound works offering the viewer the opportunity to acknowledge and reassess the world that surrounds us.
Karl Burke lives and works in Dublin and Sligo, Ireland.

4. OPEN/INVITED e v+ a 2010 – Matters at venues throughout Limerick City until Sunday 23 May 2010
Curator: Elizabeth Hatz (Sweden)
Curator’s Statement
I practice architecture and was born with art. The two are from the beginning inter-twined and mutually fertilising. I divide my time-space between Sweden and Ireland, between Stockholm and Limerick. e v+ a takes place in Limerick. Limerick has grown on me – I have become attached to it, because I cannot make it out. It is not charming – it is irresistible. It’s a city of contradictions and conflicts, most segregated of places in Ireland, physically and mentally. It is rough and gentle in the weirdest mix. Planned for the car, fragmented and smashed apart and left with a truly lovable – neglected and dying – city centre, truffled with great little butcher shops. It defies 21st century idea of urbanity and urban living by the persistent and perplexing presence of animals; !
sheep and
cows, rare birds, horses pulling sulkies in the middle of the streets or grazing impediments within the road spaghetti. Both invisible and highly physical walls cut across the city, pulling neighbourhoods far apart. Remnants of crashed Celtic Tiger Dreams stand like monuments with their halted cranes and half finished towers. In many ways, Limerick is like a miniature image of current conditions, displaying in a single glimpse the passionate absurdities and restraining certitudes. Limerick is longing to be seen.
