SUMMARY:Mairead O’hEocha; Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mairead O’hEocha; Solo Exhibition \nTue. 8 Jul. – Sat. 20 Sep. 2025\nOpening Sat. 5 Jul. \nCurated by Michael Hill \nMairead O’hEocha’s recent paintings cast an array of extraordinary and everyday tabletop scenes: birds invading a garden lunch; an octopus in a trophy room; a fake loaf of bread at the tenement museum. Tables float in and out from the facts and furnishings of their surrounds. The artist’s new works consolidate a variety of recurring themes: how to depict ‘the natural world’ and our relationship with it\, sensory encounters\, and digital space. \nThe exhibition will span four galleries in The Model\, and include several new large-scale oil paintings. A small number of recent works from international exhibitions will add to this overview of the artist’s practice. The selection will specifically incorporate scenes of display\, from museum dioramas to arranged flower bouquets\, referring to a cabinet of curiosities or salon d’automne. \nArtist Biography\nMairead O’hEocha’s solo exhibitions include P420\, Bologna (2023); mother’s tankstation London (2023\, 2018); Temple Bar Gallery + Studios\, Dublin (2020); mother’s tankstation Dublin (2016\, 2012); The Douglas Hyde Gallery\, Dublin (2014\, 2011)\, Butler Gallery\, Kilkenny (2011). \nHer work has been represented in a number of international group exhibitions and publications that have explored contemporary painting practices\, including Slow Painting (curated by Gilly Fox and Martin Herbert)\, Hayward Gallery Touring Programme\, UK (2019-2020)\, 6th Biennial of Painting HDLU\, Zagreb (2021)\, Salzberger Kunstverein (2017)\, and Vitamin P3: New Perspectives in Painting (published by Phaidon\, 2016). Other important group exhibitions include Irish Museum of Modern Art\, Dublin; National Gallery of Ireland; The Glucksman; Cork; Broad Art Museum\, Michigan. \nO’hEocha’s work is included in the collections of Irish Museum of Modern Art\, National Gallery of Ireland\, Hugh Lane Gallery\, Trinity College Dublin\, Arts Council of Ireland\, Office of Public Works\, AMC Collezione Coppola. \nRecent residencies and awards include Moly-Sabata / Fondation Albert Gleizes\, Sablons (2025); Arts Council of Ireland Project Award (2024); Internationale Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia\, Bamberg (2024); Cité internationale des arts\, Paris (2023); BigCi\, Sydney (2016). \nwww.maireadoheocha.com \nMichael Hill is Programme Curator at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios\, Dublin\, and one half of the curatorial team that represented Ireland at the 59th Venice Biennale 2022\, and Irish Tour 2023.

SUMMARY:The Red Dress Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In a landmark moment for Sligo and Ireland\, The Red Dress Embroidery Project will make its first visit to Ireland as part of the launch celebrations of Sligo PEACEPLUS. \nIt will be shown at City Hall\, Sligo from Monday 12th May to Thursday 15th May. Admission is free. Exhibition times as follows: \n\nMonday 12th May 10:00am – 5:00pm\nTuesday 13th May: 9:00am – 5:00pm\nWednesday 14th May: 9:00am – 5:00pm\nThursday 15th May: Private viewing: 9:00am – 2:00pm/ Open viewing: 2:00pm – 5:00pm\n\nThe award-winning Red Dress has 87 panels embroidered over 14 years by 380 people in 51 countries\, including Ireland. Artist\, Kirstie McLeod initially sought to unite people globally across borders and boundaries with the concept. However\, as it evolved\, The Red Dress became a platform for self-expression and an opportunity for marginalised voices to be amplified\, and prompting conversations on important and frequently uncomfortable issues: a perfect match for the outcomes of Sligo PEACEPLUS Co-designed Local Community Peace Action Plan. \nThe Sligo PEACEPLUS Action Plan was developed in co-design consultation. It is made up of 15 projects across three themes that seek to enhance community integration and cohesion. PEACEPLUS\, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) has awarded funding\, of €3.604 Million has been awarded to support the Plan which implements a diverse range of projects that address local challenges and promote peace and prosperity across County Sligo and with cross-border participation from now until the end of summer 2028. \nThe projects which will span the entire county will use activities\, including sports\, art\, podcasting\, technology\, history\, music\, fashion\, biodiversity and the circular economy\, to involve communities marginalised by geography\, race\, ability\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, age\, disadvantage\, and having conflict legacy. It is in this way\, exhibiting the Red Dress speaks to participation and what can be achieved over time when groups come together. The exhibit will be supplemented by a local project to decorate a calico cloak for Sligo PEACEPLUS. \nFor more information on the Red Dress for Sligo PEACEPLUS and the various projects that people can get involved in\, check out www.sligococo.ie /peace or email peace@sligococo.ie . \n\nThe Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) is a North South Body with the statutory remit for managing EU funding programmes within Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland.\nPEACEPLUS is a cross-border funding Programme designed to support peace and prosperity across Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland. The total value of PEACEPLUS is €1.14 billion.\nPEACEPLUS is co-funded by the European Union\, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland\, the Government of Ireland\, and the Northern Ireland Executive.\nFor more information on the artist and the Red Dress Project\, please visit https://reddressembroidery.com/

DESCRIPTION:Sat. 19 Apr. – Sat. 21 Jun. 2025 \nThe Model is delighted to present a new film work by the artist\, Marianne Keating\, entitled No Irish Need Apply\, which has been commissioned by The Model especially for The Niland Collection. This single-channel film examines the realities of Irish migration to England during the twentieth century. \nThe Irish experience in Britain during the 1970s and 1980s was profoundly shaped by the political violence of the Troubles\, and the resulting anti-Irish sentiment that was widespread within the British government and media. This period saw an entire Irish immigrant community\, many of whom had settled in post-war Britain to build lives and contribute to society\, targeted by restrictive legislation\, denied social welfare benefits\, and subjected to discrimination. \nWhen British rule in southern Ireland ended in 1922\, the lack of a robust industrial base created an unsustainable economic situation\, forcing thousands of Irish citizens to seek new employment opportunities in Britain. The designation of the “special relationship” between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom\, allowed free movement of Irish citizens to the UK\, but was in itself a remnant of the colonial era. This arrangement\, while seemingly beneficial for Irish migrants\, also served colonial interests. British Cabinet Papers from 1955 reveal that maintaining the flow of Irish labour was necessary to support the continued development of the UK economy. \nBy the late 1970s\, the Irish formed the largest immigrant community in London. The escalation of the war in Northern Ireland and the IRA bombing campaign in mainland Britain led to increased tensions for the Irish community\, and the Brent Irish Advisory Service (BIAS) was established in 1978\, followed in 1981 by Irish in Britain Representation Group (IBRG)\, to support their welfare needs. \nThe Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) was rushed through British Parliament in 1974 following the Guildford and Birmingham pub bombings. This act granted sweeping powers to law enforcement\, and was often used to target innocent Irish individuals. Under this legislation\, Irish people were subjected to arbitrary arrests\, extended detentions without charge\, and exclusion from Britain without legal recourse. Such measures facilitated mass surveillance and reinforced stereotypes that cast suspicion on the entire Irish community. Everyday life became fraught with fear as Irish accents alone could provoke verbal abuse\, physical assault\, or even denial of service in shops and workplaces. \nThis systemic prejudice extended beyond public policy into social attitudes. Irish-owned businesses and homes were targeted with violence\, and many people avoided Irish Centres and pubs out of fear of victimisation. The quashing of the convictions of the Guildford Four in 1990 and the Birmingham Six in 1991 finally exposed the injustices faced by the Irish in Britain\, forcing a reckoning with the oppressive policies and prejudice that had silenced a vibrant community for decades. These revelations marked a turning point in reclaiming dignity and challenging anti-Irish racism. \nMarianne Keating is an Irish artist and researcher\, based in London. She has a practice-based PhD in Visual & Material Culture and Contemporary Art Practice entitled\, ‘They don’t do much in the cane-hole way’\, Hidden Histories of the Irish Diaspora in Jamaica\, from Kingston University\, London. She is currently an Associate Lecturer at the Royal College of Art\, London. Keating was shortlisted to represent Ireland at the 2022 Venice Biennial and has exhibited extensively throughout Ireland and internationally. In 2023\, Keating’s new work An Ciúnas / The Silence was exhibited at the Showroom Gallery in London\, and in 2024\, it toured to selected venues in Ireland. Upcoming exhibitions and new commissions in 2025 include a newly commissioned multi-screen work for The Irish Pavilion\, at the World Expo\, Japan; and a solo show at The Royal Hibernian Academy\, Dublin. \nNo Irish Need Apply has been made possible through an Arts Council Bursary Award. It has been acquired by the Graeve Collection\, which is on long-term loan to the Niland Collection. \nThe exhibition continues until Sat. 21 Jun. 2025

SUMMARY:Julianknxx; Chorus in Rememory of Flight
DESCRIPTION:Tue. 15 Apr. – Sat. 21 Jun. 2025 \n12 – 3pm | Exhibition Preview\n3 – 4pm | Julianknxx in conversation with writer and creative producer\, Debo Amon\n4 – 5pm | Drinks Reception \nThe Model is delighted to present Chorus in Rememory of Flight\, an immersive multi-screen film installation\, across six gallery spaces\, by one of the UK’s most exciting artists\, Julianknxx. \nInspired by the words of philosopher Édouard Glissant\, ‘you can change with the Other while being yourself\, you are not one\, you are multiple\, and you are yourself’; this major work is borne out of a year in which Julianknxx travelled to cities across Europe to locate and collaborate with ex-patriot African communities. Through a practice of active listening\, he has collected the performances and testimonies of singers\, poets\, choirs\, politicians\, dancers\, activists and leading figures from Black communities\, to create a series of films that reflect on the chorus as a means of resistance to the eradication of difference. \nFilmed in Hamburg\, Berlin\, Amsterdam\, Rotterdam\, Antwerp\, London\, Marseille\, Barcelona and Lisbon\, the project charts a staggering 4000 kilometres in total. These vast distances offer a reflection on the many miles traversed by those interviewed and by their ancestors throughout history. A single refrain – ‘we are what’s left of us’ – binds the choral voices together\, speaking to the ways in which music can be a vital conduit for the survival of cultural memory. \nJulianknxx’s films encourage new perspectives on what it means to be caught between multiple histories and places\, offering up the choir as a metaphor for community. Culminating in an area for reading and reflection\, the exhibition emphasises the importance of listening and engaging in alternative ways of telling the stories that have shaped our cultural identities. The polyphonic nature of Julianknxx’s work is indicative of the artist’s expansive practice\, which is rooted in poetry but extends into performance\, film\, music and sculpture. Born in Freetown\, Sierra Leone\, he draws on his personal experiences to broaden perspectives on the history and culture of Africa and its diasporas. \nIn casting his own practice as a ‘living archive’ or a ‘history from below’\, Julianknxx draws on West African traditions of oral history to reframe how we construct both local and global perspectives. He does this through a body of work that challenges fixed ideas of identity and unravels linear Western historical and socio-political narratives\, attempting to reconcile how it feels to exist primarily in liminal spaces. \nJulianknxx has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally\, including solo exhibitions at CAM\, Lisbon\, 2025; the Barbican\, London\, 2023; Foley Gallery\, New York\, 2022; and 180\, The Strand\, London\, 2021. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Tate Modern\, the Whitechapel Gallery\, and the Gagosian amongst many other galleries. \nImages\nImage credits: Julianknxx; Chorus in Rememory of Flight\, installation view\, Barbican Art Gallery (c) Eva Herzog & Barbican Art Gallery.

SUMMARY:Jack Butler Yeats; The Dreaming Road
DESCRIPTION:Tue. 25 Mar. – Sat. 1 Nov. 2025 \nThe Dreaming Road presents audiences with the opportunity to trace Jack Butler Yeats’ extraordinary journey as an artist through four important\, interconnected stages of his life and work. The show touches on the legacy of his unique artistic family\, as well as the indelible influence of his early life in Sligo on his entire career. A selection of his politically charged paintings of the 1920s are on view alongside a number of the great masterpieces of his later years\, which are noted for their wildly romantic and expressionistic style. While Jack was notably reluctant to discuss his creative practice\, the exhibition is augmented with a number of statements by the artist himself that shed light on aspects of his attitudes and approaches to painting. \nThe Yeats Family was one of the most creative and accomplished in the literary and cultural world of early twentieth century Ireland. Patriarch\, John Butler Yeats was distinguished as an artist\, and particularly noted for his work in portraiture. Jack’s three siblings William\, Susan\, Elizabeth made significant contributions to literature\, publishing and education throughout their lifetimes. Their mother\, Susan Pollexfen\, was the daughter of a wealthy Sligo merchant family\, and imbued in her children a deep love for the people\, landscape\, and mythology of the county. \nJack Butler Yeats remains one of Ireland’s best loved and most accomplished artists. Unlike his siblings\, Jack was sent to his maternal grandparents in Sligo\, where he lived between the ages of eight and 16 years. He cut his creative teeth on the deep experience of Irish life he encountered in the town\, and its western characters and dramatic landscape populated his works until the end of his life. While his subject matter remained the same throughout his long career\, his style of painting\, and the meaning he gave his works changed over time. His initial depictions of western life was marked by a strong sentimentality\, which he expressed in watercolours during the period 1898–1910. This gave way\, in his early oil period (1910–1925)\, to the pronounced realism that he developed to make political and social commentary. \nJack had been on a visit back to Sligo in 1898\, when he witnessed some of the centenary re-enactments of the 1798 Rebellion. The spectacle of the event appealed to Jack’s love of the drama of everyday life\, and he was inspired to create one of his first political scenes\, Robert Emmet – Procession at Carricknagat\, Co. Sligo\, 1898. The more serious concern of Ireland’s nationhood that the centenary celebrations brought to the fore\, also impacted the young artist. From 1898 onwards he became more convinced of the right to Irish self-determination. He went on to paint several\, more overtly political works\, some of which are also on view in this exhibition\, culminating in the masterworks The Funeral of Harry Boland\, 1922\, and Communicating with Prisoners\, c. 1924. \nFrom the 1920s and into the later part of his career\, another more marked development took hold. Jack’s subject matter became imbued with a deeper mysticism and symbolism. His handling of paint became much freer\, he abandoned his palette and brush\, and worked directly onto the canvas using only the primary colours. Throughout the 1940s\, his paintings increasingly present us with apocalyptic visions. He developed a highly personal technique\, which placed less emphasis on composition. He focused more on creating work in a ‘stream-of-consciousness’ style and termed the paintings he made in this way as ‘happenings’. \nThe exhibition continues until 1st November. In depth Curator’s Tours will run on each Saturday at 11am throughout June\, July and August\, and can be booked at the front desk or at www.themodel.ie. \nWe keep all of our exhibitions free of charge and open to everyone. We kindly ask that those who can afford to\, make a donation of €5 for this exhibition. This can be done by contactless payment at the station in this gallery. \nImage credits: John Butler Yeats\, W.B. Yeats reading in the garden\, Bedford Park\, c. 1888–89\, oil on canvas.
