Jaki Irvine
Kerlin Gallery, Dublin
Solo screenings. Her works in film and video weave together enticing, though ultimately elusive narratives in which image, voice-over and musical score variously overlap, coalesce and diverge. This exhibition consists of three large scale single screen projected film works, Ivana's Answers, 2001, Holding it All Together, 2002 and The Actress, 2003. Each film will be screened individually and will be accompanied by a new monitor work entitled Swimmers & Seagulls and selected photoworks.
The Kerlin Gallery is pleased to host its first exhibition by Jaki Irvine entitled 'solo screenings'
This exhibition consists of three large scale single screen projected film works, Ivana's Answers, 2001, Holding it All Together, 2002 and The Actress, 2003. Each film will be screened individually and will be accompanied by a new monitor work entitled Swimmers & Seagulls and selected photoworks.
Irvine currently lives and works in Dublin having spent many years in London and some time in Italy. Her works in film and video, whether in single-screen format or in more complex multi-screen installations, weave together enticing, though ultimately elusive narratives in which image, voice-over and musical score variously overlap, coalesce and diverge. These languid explorations of human interaction with the natural world, the built environment, and with other humans are suffused with a melancholic lyricism and leavened by a dark, dreamlike humour. Subjectivities split and fragment as the boundaries that separate self from other, or human from animal, become fluid or permeable.
In 1995 Irvine was included in the seminal exhibition of Young British Artists, General Release, at the Venice Biennale, and she represented Ireland at the 1997 Biennale. Her solo exhibitions include shows at Project Arts Centre (1996) and the Douglas Hyde Gallery (1999) in Dublin, Frith Street Gallery (1997, 1999) and Delfina Project Space (2001) in London, and the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Baden-Baden, Germany (1998). She has also participated in numerous group shows throughout Europe, Australia and Japan including Sonsbeek International, Arnhem (1993), NoWhere Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark (1996), White Noise, Bern Kunsthalle, (1998), Intelligence, Tate Britain (2000) and Shifting Ground: 50 Years of Irish Art at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) (2000).
A major new eight screen work, The Silver Bridge, was recently purchased by the Irish Museum of Modern Art and is due to be exhibited during their 2004 programme.
