Lions Club 2012 Open Show Call for Submissions
From Thu 15-12-2011 to Tue 31-01-2012
Ticket price: €10.00 per applicant
Wexford Lions Club Show, 2012
Call for Submissions
Wexford Lions Club in partnership with Wexford Arts Centre are delighted to announce application details for its annual exhibition, Open Show and invite submissions from local artists.
In contrast with recent years, for the 2012 exhibition, the theme is left entirely open with the intention that this will result in a broader, more personal response from participants. So whether your muse is the land or the sea, figure or fauna, rural beauty, urban narratives, pure imagination, total abstraction or anything in between, the opportunity is there for artists young and old to rise to the challenge and create totally unique works.
We encourage children to get involved this year as there will be wall for ‘Young Lions’ in the final exhibition, dedicated specifically to the work of budding artists.

Bridget O'Gorman, Material Culture
Curated by Sinéad K. Rice
Technician: Andrew Kenny
Tuesday 10th January – Saturday 4th February 2011
Public Talk with Bridget O'Gorman and Sinéad K. Rice: Friday 13th January at 11am
Official Opening: Saturday 14th January at 4pm. Guest Speaker: Rosie Lynch
‘Material culture as we understand it is a direct consequence of the collecting traditions of the nineteenth century, liberal Enlightenment era notions of universality, colonial expansion, industrialization and the birth of consumerism’. (Buchli, Victor 2002)
For ‘Material Culture’, Bridget O’ Gorman, recipient of the 2010 Emerging Visual Artist Award, has produced a series of sculptural and video based narratives referencing a 19th Century ethos of imagination, anthropomorphism and collation. Informed by themes of historical mass production and consumption, her work explores elements of social commentary and wordplay particularly pertaining to 19th C culture in painting, experimentation and natural history.
