The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present Out of Lines: A Bloomsday group exhibition.

The exhibition features new work by Annika Berglund, Hugh Cummins, Mary A. Fitzgerald, David Fox, Nickie Hayden, Miriam McConnon, Sheila Naughton, Yanny Petters, Kelly Ratchford, Vicky Smith and Colin Eaton.

As this year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Paris Art Deco Expo, the Bloomsday exhibition at the Olivier Cornet Gallery will be an artists’ response to this period during which James Joyce’s Ulysses was published. The show will feature work by our gallery artists and invited artists who have explored exterior signs of art deco in Dublin, from architectural features in government buildings, cocktails and flappers, through bathing shelters, libraries, to hotels and cinemas. The show will also showcase personal interpretations of that period from family lore through shared stories to current events.

Official opening: Sunday, the 15th of June 2025, 3:00 PM.

This exhibition is part of the 2025 Bloomsday Festival’s official programme, organised by the James Joyce Centre Dublin.

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland
Image from MoMA website - lime green background with text saying 'Woven Histories - Textiles and Modern Abstraction'

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City has an exciting exhibition – ‘Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction’. This show spans early-20th-century works by Sonia Delaunay, Hannah Hoch, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, whose textile practices parallel their painting and drawing, mid-century works by Anni Albers and Ed Rossbach, and contemporary works by Rosemarie Trockel, Andrea Zittel, and Igshaan Adams.

“Highlighting issues of labour and identity that are intertwined with modern textile production, Woven Histories argues that weaving and textiles are the quintessential link between lived experience and art.”

If you cannot travel to New York, there are 80 images online from the exhibition.

The show runs until the 13th of September.

Exhibition: Magdalena Abakanowicz Artwork in 3 Locations – The Netherlands

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

There’s an interesting trio of exhibitions in the Brabant region of the Netherlands devoted to the work of sculptor/installation artist Magdalena Abakanowicz.

The TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Het Noordbrabants Museum, and Provincial House of Noord-Brabant, ‘s-Hertogenbosch – are the three institutions.

“Abakanowicz was fascinated by the texture of textiles and the structure of natural fibres. She used this fascination as a basis for her weavings, but also to depict the human body. She travelled all over the world to set up her exhibitions herself and placed the sculptures in the middle of the space to create an ‘environment’, a world of her own. With this spatial concept, she was one of the forerunners of installation art.”

from the TextielMuseum in Tilburg

The exhibition runs through the 24th of August.

There is a free symposium about Magdalena Abakanowicz on Thursday, the 12th of June at Provincial House of Noord-Brabant, ‘s-Hertogenbosch. To book your ticket, visit this site – https://www.hetnoordbrabantsmuseum.nl/bezoek/activiteiten/symposium/
