“Conditional” Culturebox. Templebar
This group show by Cólín Rush, Elizabeth Archbold and Lorraine Walsh officially opens Thursday 7 March in The Culture Box, Temple Bar, as part of First Thursdays Dublin and will run until 28 March.
The work by Cóilín Rush is referencing a desired condition of insulation. The conditions that keep one protected from the external environment and yet conversely trapped. The paintings themselves have been painted and repainted and covered again. Outlandish expressions that then seem to constitute mistakes are covered up with a monotone and in this way I am allowed to live and can be kept in a stasis. Which like all things is conditional.
Hard to believe we came back this day last week. Here we are with the Irish Ambassador and his lovely wife Bernadette. They hosted us the night after the opening for drinks and food including home made brown bread and lots of chat. They couldn’t have made us feel more at home. Big thanks to Aileen for her skills at rounding us up into a formal photo.

The Guerrillas of Love stem from the understanding that we are fundamentally sane and wise, but as we keep forgetting this our inner ‘wise guide’ has to undertake guerrilla tactics to keep reminding us and bringing us back to who we really are. The Guerrillas of Love are tricksters, magicians and alchemists whose goal is the re-enchantment of the world.
Eleanor Duffin | More Often Lost Than Gained
Thursday 28th March – Saturday 8th June | during centre opening hours
Eleanor Duffin explores the subtle relationship between objects and humans. She questions why we are drawn to certain inanimate objects. Is there an immaterial force that connects us to these objects? In this period of history where we have become defined by what we consume or desire, the artist pares back visual elements that pique our visual senses.
Eleanor Duffin currently lives and works in Dublin. After graduating from Limerick School of Art and Design with a BA in Sculpture and Combined Media in 2003, she went on to complete a two-year Masters programme at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. She is currently an artist in residence at the Fire Station Artists Studio, Dublin and has recently been selected to participate, as International Artist in Residence, at Gertrude Contemporary in Melbourne for June and July 2013. Her work has been included most recently in Whitewashing the Moon, Project Arts Centre, Dublin (2012), Paper Visual Art, The Guesthouse, Cork (2012), We Out There, SIM, Reykjavik (2012), Radical Love II, Dublin (2011), Transference, Broadstone Gallery, Dublin (2011), and Little Constellation Archive, NUA: New Contemporary Arts and Research, The Republic of San Marino (ongoing).
