Ultraviolet Art Talks Season 18 EP05 Sharon Murphy
<p>On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to Artist and Curator Sharon Murphy in her studio in 2024. Curious about what is like inside an artist studio? Watch full episode <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBGuzPNsFbe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>!</p><br><p>Sharon Murphy is a visual artist and curator based between Dublin and Paris whose practice encompasses photography, video and installation. Drawing on a background in theatre and informed by psychoanalysis and magic realism, her work provokes viewers to question what they are seeing, bringing their own histories and narratives to ‘complete’ the meaning of the image. Balancing the theoretical and the experiential (including that of the viewer), Murphy is especially drawn to the inherent binary nature of photography - the tensions of the medium between its real/indexical nature and its unreal/constructed nature. The photograph is simultaneously both record/truth and constructed/staged subject to multiple interpretations, perceptions and distortions by both maker and viewer. </p><br><p>Murphy investigates the boundaries between real and fictive spaces within the pictorial frame: concentrating on recurring motifs of theatre curtains; outdoor carousels; circus tents; performative sites; city parks; and empty stages. These scenes become the point of departure for a wider exploration of the tension between hidden and revealed, negative and positive, illusion and disillusion, the uncanny and the unremarkable.</p><br><p>Recent exhibitions: Photo Museum Ireland, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/centreculturelirlandais/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris</a>, GOMA, Waterford, Limerick City Gallery, Draíocht, National Gallery of Ireland, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rha.arts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RHA</a>, Golden Thread Gallery Belfast, Halftone, PhotoIreland, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loopbarcelona_festival/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Loop Festival, Barcelona</a>. </p><br><p>Current exhibitions 2025/26: Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast (solo), <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umassboston/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">University Gallery UMAss Boston</a>.</p><br><p>Murphy is a co-founding member of Shell/Ter Artist Collective (S/TAC). Her work is held is in private + public collections.

Ultraviolet Art Talks Season 18 EP04 Niamh McCann
<p>On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Niamh McCann at her studio (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/templebargalleryandstudios/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Temple Bar Gallery and Studios</a>)I n 2024. Always curious about what is like to be inside an artist studio? Watch full Instagram episode <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_al5s8M795/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><br><p>Niamh McCann’s work is a considered, individual voice in contemporary Irish art; effortlessly correlating strands of three-dimensional work, painting/drawing and installation. This in itself is unpredictable and frequently humorous, as evidenced in the playful use of appropriated political figuration in her body of work, Furtive Tears. Layering and re-coding the given image, figure or cultural trope, a quasi-deified equilibrium is achieved when juxtaposed with globalised cultural imagery.</p><br><p>McCann is recipient of the Norman Houston Commission Award, Washington DC and RHA Stephen McKenna Studio Fellowship. Commissions include Bile Buadha a large scale outdoors sculptural work at Termini Complex, Sandyford and PAVILION/MOTHER’S LAMENT an outdoors sculptural work at National Museum of Ireland, Museum of Country Life. In partnership with Logan Sisley and National Museum of Ireland, McCann co-curated the exhibition Tableaux Vivants at Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane looking at collection artworks as totemic messengers. The exhibition was centered around a series of McCann’s work acquired by the Hugh Lane. </p><br><p>Artist residencies include Centre Culturel Irlandais Paris, Fire Station Studio Production Residency, Dublin, Penthouse Artist Residency, Brussels, Cemeti Arthouse, Indonesia and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hiap_suomenlinna/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HIAP residency in Helsinki, Finland.</a></p><br><p>Solo exhibitions include Hairline Crack [a dialogue] at the Rudolf-Scharpf-Galerie des Wilhelm Hack Museum, Germany, Furtive Tears at Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane,La Perruque (Protest Song) at MAC Belfast and Just Left of Copernicus in Visual Carlow. Group exhibitions include: Future Perfect, Rubicon-Projects Brussels and Changing States, BOZAR, Belgium.</p><br><p>Niamh McCann works are currently exhibiting on the 25th <a href="https://www.instagram.com/biennalesydney/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Biennale of Sydney </a>(14 March - 14 June 2026). The Biennale of Sydney is one of the leading international contemporary art events. It plays an indispensable role in Australia’s engagement with the world, and a meaningful role in the life of the nation.</p><br><p>Follow Ultraviolet Art Talks on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_ultravioletarttalks_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@_ulravioletarttalks_</a></p><p>For more information, follow Niamh McCann on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/niamhmccnn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@niamhmccnn</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
