Upcoming Events
The Quiet Persistence of Making is a collaborative exhibition by Macken + Magner, Galway-based artist Sinead Macken and artist and educator (Textiles, ATU Galway) Tony Magner, showcasing a body of current work rooted in process-led, repetitive, and meditative practices. Through the mediums of stitch and knot, the artists explore rhythm, materiality, and the contemplative nature of making.
Throughout the week-long exhibition, the gallery will adopt an Open Studio format, inviting visitors to engage directly with the artists’ methods. Without the barrier of skill visitors will have the opportunity to slow down and experience the stillness that repetitive making brings. Creating their own stitched or knotted pieces and contributing to a growing communal artwork. These individual contributions will be assembled and presented collectively during the closing event (Finissage), celebrating shared creativity and the evolving nature of the artists’ practice.
Dr. Seamus McGuinness, socially engaged practitioner and textile artist will open the show, with a public reception on Friday 24th October at 7.30pm in KAVA, Courthouse Gallery, Kinvara, Co. Galway. H91K5T9. The exhibition runs from Sat 24th Oct– Sunday 2nd Nov. Closing/Finissage will be on Sat 1st Novth at 7.30 pm. All welcome.
Macken+Magner present on Bold Boys + Bold Girls at The Atrium, Cork City Hall (4:00mins)
