Ar an Imeall – Pamela de Brí
- Exhibitions and Shows
Official Reception Saturday 25th July, 3pm.
The exhibition Ar an Imeall – On the Edge is a bilingual project which explores and documents a large selection of Ireland’s offshore islands.
Having researched the history, landscape, demographics, and topography of the islands over the last few years, the artist has painted them, as seen from the mainland, trying to capture their essence. Almost 60 islands are investigated, mainly those that are or were once inhabited and, except for Achill, are not connected to the mainland by a bridge. The project seeks to record, celebrate, respect and remember the individual world that each island is and was to those that lived and still live on it.
The concept has its roots partly in Diarmuid Ferriter’s “On the Edge, Ireland’s Offshore Islands, a modern history”.
The research for Ar an Imeall was supported by Kildare Co Council Arts Service.
Runs until Saturday 26th September
