The Sky is Falling
October 11 @ 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Ormston House is delighted to present The Sky is Falling!, a group exhibition featuring contributions from Ceara Conway, Seoidín O’Sullivan, Scott Rogers, and Christopher Steenson.
Ceara Conway is an independent Irish contemporary vocal and visual artist. She uses performance, song, text, photography, sculpture, and video to explore social issues such as migration, the ecological crisis, and death rituals. Conway has shown and performed work internationally and in Ireland, including The Museum of Fine Art, Florida; the Barbican, London; and the National Gallery of Ireland.
Seoidín O’Sullivan is a contemporary artist with a socially-engaged practice who lectures in First Year Studies and Visual Culture at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), Dublin. She has recently been involved with a number of research projects with public arts institutions and galleries, including Solstice Arts Centre, Meath; Common Ground, Dublin; and University College Dublin’s School of Geography, Dublin.
Scott Rogers was born in Mohkinstsis Treaty 7 Calgary, Canada and lives in Glasgow and Tkaronto. Rogers’ work is focused on the complex interdependencies between humans, animals, and land. He has recently produced projects with ATLAS Arts, Skye; Pink Snow, Berlin; Koraï Project Space, Nicosia; Nuit Blanche Toronto; and Kunstverein München. With Will Holder, Scott co-edited “Recognition”, the 14th issue of the journal FR DAVID.
Christopher Steenson’s practice spans sound, lens-based media, text, and digital systems. His work seeks to bridge historical and speculative narratives in order to interrogate the politics of time, environment, and more-than-human relations. He has recently appeared in group exhibitions at The MAC, Belfast; Luan Gallery, Athlone; Freelands Foundation; LAVA, Mexico City; Pallas Projects/Studios, Dublin; Sonorities Music Festival, Belfast; and CCA Derry~Londonderry.
The Sky is Falling! is curated by Caimin Walsh and supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Limerick Arts Office. The events programme is funded by Creative Ireland and Limerick City and County Council through Creative Climate Action funding.
