‘Not all is as it seems’
by Nina Tanis
Do you have curious eyes or perhaps a wild imagination? Or would you like to improve them? For this exhibition you will need to have your wits about you as you follow the "treasure map" leading you to look up, down, under and around at wee installations, interventions, and interruptions situated in secret places and in not so secret spaces around the Riverbank Art Centre. The exhibition is designed to take you on a journey into a story and out of your own.Works created by children in the Take and make a journey workshop will sit alongside Nina Tanis’ work in the gallery space. read more

‘Miles from Home’
by Noel Hensey
Noel Hensey is the 2011 Kildare County Council Emerging Visual Artist Exhibition Bursary Award recipient which has enabled him to create this exhibition entitled ‘Miles from Home’. The exhibition is inspired by famous Kildare landmarks and is concerned with the creation of openness or spaciousness. The work can be seen as a philosophical exploration in reducing all phenomena e.g. thought, physical matter etc. into sound. The exhibition contains two elements. A sound installation entitled ‘Sound Garden’ inspired by The Japanese Rock Gardens (Karesansui). The rocks are replaced by speakers, the sounds of which conceptually represent traditional elements found in gardens such as fountains and bridges. The second, a photographic series shot on The Curragh Plains, depicts evidence of spaciousness. read more
