Conceptual work in clay to feature in exhibition

An exhibition of Contemporary Clay, titled 3x2, showing the work of six ceramic artists, will go on display at The Shed, Middle Pier, Galway City Harbour, from November 3-19 with an opening reception on November 3 at 6.30pm.

Three of the artists, Claire Curneen, Andrew Livingstone and Clare Twomey are established makers living in the UK, the other three, Kate Howard, Anne O' Neill and Nuala Ní Fhlathúin, are emerging Irish makers whose work in-corporates installation based contemporary practices in clay and mixed media.

The exhibition set in a large industrial space intends to open up ceramic practice to a wider Irish audiance, but also offers an opportunity to see conceptual work in clay by artists who rarely show in Ireland.

The exhibition is co-curated by Kate Howard and lecturer in Fine Art Ceramics at GMIT and gallery owner Rob D'Eath. The programme includes a lecture by artists Claire Curnneen and Andrew Livingstone on November 3 from 1.30pm at GMIT Dublin Rd Campus.
