New Neighbours brings together the work of Olivia O’Dwyer and Fergal Styles for the first time.
Both artists work come from places of imagination and memory, of things half-remembered or dreamt, with playfulness and experimentation at the heart of each of their practices. Accompanying the exhibition will be a newly commissioned text by Neva Elliot. (You can download the essay HERE
Olivia O’Dwyer’s work is influenced by 'Bad Painting' which refers to a deliberately raw style of figurative painting, rejecting traditional ideas of draughtsmanship, mixing art historical, popular, and personal sources. She examines ideas around quotidian experience, observations drawn from the world around her and more intimate or personal themes and looks to contemporary culture and ideologies drawn from a female perspective and the ‘female gaze’ feminist theory.
For Fergal Styles the image represents “an irrational, compact impression of sensory and emotional information” made up of feelings and imagination. He approaches painting in a very egalitarian way, no medium is ruled out even those usually not associated with painting, for him mediums/materials have their own cultural references or weight and he values the associations these bring to the work.
In this episode, the pair chat about the experience of becoming New Neighbours for this two person show at STAC. New Neighbours opened on March 8th and continues until Friday 26th April. The gallery is open from 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. Visit the STAC Website for more.

Threadsuns - Sophie Béhal
Threadsuns, a new body of work from Sophie Béhal, comes as the result of the Tipperary Artist Residency Award with STAC, supported by Tipperary Arts Office. This body of work comes from a period of engagement with new materials in a new place. Situated in a rural landscape in County Tipperary, it searches for a new way of being in this world and uses repetition, ritual and process to investigate this. The sun and circles are used as a rhythmic refrain and repeated throughout.
The most reassuring of shapes, the circle, and its transcendental properties associated with infinity and certainty are questioned. The turmeric-dyed cotton sunprints hanging throughout the gallery will act as a balm in a dark winter, but like the shifting cycles of the sun, they will not last. Created by sunlight, they are a measure of light and time and space. In the gallery the weak winter light will cause them to fade and change over the duration of the exhibition, and as spring arrives they will leave.
This exhibition is the result of a sustained period of research, experimentation and learning for the artist in new sculptural materials : glass, slip cast ceramics, large-scale natural dyeing and printing, and welded steel. The different timescales of these materials and their sometimes contradictory properties of heaviness and lightness, movement and stillness, permanency and ephemerality are explored. This exhibition offers the viewer moments of hope and transformation whilst acknowledging the darkness of our time. It reflects on a human need for ritual, repetition and communication and strives to find these things in our everyday life.
Sophie Béhal is a visual artist, from Kilkenny and living in Co. Tipperary. Her work usually manifests itself as sculptural installation, often combining traditional sculptural materials of steel, clay and plaster with more ephemeral aspects of light and sound. Recent exhibitions: Awards Show, 2023, MART Dublin, With a View, Chocolate Factory, Dublin 2022, Dublin Art Book Fair, TBG+S, 2022 +2021; Projects: The Postal Project,Carlow Arts Festival 2021, Firestation Artists Sculpture Awardee 2022; Publications: Firestation FileNotes 2023. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Crawford, Cork, 2012 and an MA in Art, Research and Collaboration from IADT,Dublin, 2018 with a term spent in Taideyliopisto, Helsinki.

Welcome to the latest episode of the South Tipp Arts Podcast!
This time I sit down with artist Moran Been-noon to chat about her exhibition 'Here Nor There' which is currently running in the gallery here at STAC until December 2nd. 'Here Nor There' invites us to consider the connection between ethnicity and one's ability to belong.
Mixing moving image and audio pieces with objects that symbolise fragments of the artist's ethnic identity, the artwork encourages us to perceive ethnicity as a multi-layered and intricate theme, and within this, consider the complexities of contemporary Irish identity.
As part of the project, Moran is running a series of FREE drop-in art lab sessions at STAC Chapel on the plaza, from 16th - 18th November (2:30 to 5:00pm) where participants can explore Moran's working process and make a piece of their own to take home - all materials provided.

In this latest Ep, I chat with artist Kate O'Shea from Broken Fields, a multi-disciplinary collective made up of individual practitioners Louise Harrington, Enya Moore, Aideen O’ Donovan and Kate O’ Shea.
Broken Fields brings together experience, knowledge, and practice from the fields of socially engaged art, architecture, community work, activism, research, and writing. The name Broken Fields refers to the breaking down of disciplines, siloes, and fields. In the breaking down of these constructed boundaries, Broken Fields brings together the strengths of diverse practices in processes, projects and spaces that are deeply place-based.
In partnership with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, Broken Fields 'Art, What is it good for?' is a social space guided by the question: ‘How can we co-create a space with the public in Clonmel?’ Festival Activities included collective canopy making, printmaking and conversations with a series of invited artists, printmakers, community workers, architects, writers, musicians, and activists, culminating in a very busy day at STAC on Saturday 8th July!
The exhibition continues until August 5th, and features a working space where visitors can add a piece to the collective art wall, browse the large Broken Fields archive, or just take a break from the world outside. Gallery open Tuesday - Saturday from 10am-5pm.

In this episoed, I chat with Dorje de Burgh about his exhibition 'Under the Same Sky', currently on show at STAC.. Following the artist's move to Carrick-on-Suir in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic due to his high-risk status, Under the Same Sky is a photographic documentation of the town and its surrounds. Representing an outsiders view, this work reflects the particular atmosphere of unease and alienation of that time, as well as being an observation on community, home and belonging. Dorje also strives to subvert familiar representations of the Irish landscape, and in doing so reflect the tensions inherent in both the urban-rural space and the artist’s own conflicting positions around closeness and distance.
Dorje de Burgh lives and works between Killarney, Dublin & Berlin. Following nomination as a member of the FUTURES European mentorship program, Dorje received the Arts Council of Ireland Next Generation award 2020 and The Darkroom moving image residency 2020/21, producing his second solo exhibition How To Kill Something That Doesn’t Exist in association with PhotoIreland Festival 2021.

Austin McQuinn ‘Some signs are secret, some manifest’ 31st March – 13th May 2023
A Solo Exhibition of new paintings, sculpture, and live art performance, curated by Helena Tobin.
‘Some signs are secret, some manifest’ is an exhibition of new work specifically created for the double-height atrium and gallery @STAC. Austin’s new paintings on ash wood panels and found antique prints are intensely gesso-ed, collaged and inked to psychedelic effect. The 17 foot ‘Tower’ of discarded Aran sweaters in the Atrium signals the unique Norman architecture of tower houses in South Tipperary, and echoes an earlier installation McQuinn created in Kilmainham Gaol, presenting sweaters as totems to make a new tribal or fetish power-object for the Gallery.
https://www.southtippartscentre.ie/events/austin-mcquinn-some-signs-are-secret-some-manifest
In a challenging exploration of the traditional and the discarded, of biopower and queer energy, McQuinn will be artist-in-residence at the STAC Chapel in the former Kickham Army Barracks. He will create a twenty-four hour live-streamed live-art performance event, titled ‘Imperial Lunatic’. Following the cycle of the new moon rising, ‘Imperial Lunatic’ will incorporate the artists’ body in series of repeating actions, video clips of volcanoes and processions, percussion, medals, zigzags, tongues and talc.

If you missed our latest artist talk, you can listen back here.
Ita Freeney's artist talk on Saturday March 4th featured a conversation between Ita and fellow artist Katherine Boucher Beug. The discussion focused on the process behind Ita’s current series of paintings - from her choice of subject, to her focus on form, light, mood, and structure, and the making of the paintings.
Water's Edge @STAC
February 17th - March 18th 2023
Ita Freeney’s Water’s Edge exhibition consists of a series of new paintings created over the last three years. The sea is glimpsed at in all of these works but they are not seascapes per se.Their focus is on the shape of headlands, piers, slipways, strips of water, roofs - areas forming a boundary with the water or breaking the block of water or sky. The solidity of land and the surrounding infrastructure is contrasted with and used to emphasise the airiness and openness of sea and sky. This series gravitates towards horizontals, distance, direction, echoes, gaps, openings, and connections/separations.These paintings play with abstraction and representation - finding and emphasising abstract forms in reality, while also observing nuances of colour, tone and form to evoke mood and atmosphere. Familiarity and building relationships with the places that inspire, has become a very important element in the work. Many return visits to inspirations in North Mayo, and East Cork into Waterford, result in getting absorbed in the places, observing them from different vantage points and in different lights.

Artist Ita Freeney's 'Water's Edge' was officially opened here at STAC on 16th February by Catherine Marshall. It presents a body of ethereally beautiful paintings produced over the last three years.
The sea is glimpsed at in all of these works but they are not seascapes per se. They play with abstraction and representation - finding and emphasising abstract forms in reality, while also observing nuances of colour, tone and form to evoke mood and atmosphere. It was a pleasure to sit down with Ita for a chat about her inspirations and her practice here at STAC on the morning after the opening reception.
Water's Edge runs until March 18th - gallery open 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday.
https://www.southtippartscentre.ie/events/ita-freeney
Dublin born, Ita Freeney graduated from Crawford College of Art and Design with a BA Hons degree in Fine Art (1994). She now lives in Cork. Her most recent shows have included a solo exhibition - Outer Edges at The Lavit Gallery (2019) and a two person exhibition, The Paul Kane Gallery at the Irish Architectural Archive in Dublin (2018). She has exhibited with the Paul Kane Gallery since 1998, with solo shows there in 2001 and 2008 as well as several two person and many group shows. -
Our first exhibition of 2023 features a new body of work from Annie Hogg, coming as a result of her Tipperary Artist Residency Award with STAC, supported by Tipperary Arts Office. LOST is a keen consideration of what happens in a landscape after the land has gone through conversion to an industrial scale farming model, specifically a system of long established hedgerows.
Through installation, incorporating pigments rendered from that landscape, soundscape devised on site and sculptural elements, the work asks the questions of what cost, other than financial has this action had. The artist has used materials which were charred, ground and collected from this space in its present state to transform or at the very least confront the human grief and meaningfully mark that once, this place was alive.
Annie joined me for a chat about LOST, the specific site that it is based upon, and the deep meaning it holds for her, as well as the wider issues such as the continued industrialisation of agriculture and the need for more sustainable practices.
LOST opened on January 14th and runs until February 11th @STAC
The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm

Welcome to the latest episode of the South Tipp Arts Podcast!
In this Ep, we focus on the artists involved in 'She'll Give You All she Has' - Orla Barry, Chloe McKeown & Laura Fitzgerald.
In 'She'll Give You All She Has', the artists create work addressing farming, feminism, farming practices and being an artist in rural Ireland, through a mixture of objects, sound, print, writing and video. The works are woven through with absurdity, tragedy, humour and the kind of emotional detachment familiar to readers of contemporary farming manuals.
The exhibition, curated by Helena Tobin & Anne Mullee, opened on 29th October and continues at STAC until December 3rd.
All the work discussed can be explored on our website www.southtippartscentre.ie where you can even take a virtual tour of the space. Thanks to Orla, Chloe & Laura for their time, and thank you for listening :)

In this episode I chat to artist Stephen Brandes about his latest exhibition 'The Trotskys in Kilsheelan and Other Histories of Unreliable Origin', showing here at STAc until October 15th.
If you've not had a chance to visit, pop in and see it before it closes.
In the Winter of 1936, exiled Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky and his wife Natalya Sedova were taken from their house arrest at a farm outside Oslo in Norway and put on an oil tanker, destined for a new life in Mexico. In order to avoid the seasonally devastating storms attacking the Eastern Atlantic, the ship clandestinely docks in Cobh and the exiles are brought ashore. There begins a road trip that takes them to Kilsheelan and along the way to a very uncharacteristic obsession.
At this exhibition at South Tipperary Arts Centre, Brandes will present a series of recent paintings and drawings, as well as a newly commissioned video work, which collages Brandes’ own fabricated photographic images with vintage British Pathé news reels. What will be revealed is a little known moment in modern Irish history… and some of it is possibly true.
The work of Stephen Brandes is rooted in collage and is often imbued with a keen interest in modern history from the 1700’s Enlightenment to the present. Brandes interprets ‘collage’ loosely however, as an act of cutting and pasting together ideas as much as material, to produce paintings, video and drawings, as well as collage in the true sense of the art form. It could be said that even history is used as material for collage insofar that his research and observations are metaphorically cut up and reassembled to produce episodes of stories that wander sideways from established accuracy.

Ed Devane is a sound artist and instrument designer based in Donegal. Beginning his creative career as an electronic music producer, his work has broadened over the years to include interactive installation, electronic instrument design, community projects and workshop facilitation relating to music and sound. Much of the inspiration behind his installation work is to use technology and instrument building to encourage creative encounters and collaborations between participants. Ed has recently produced installations for Science Gallery Dublin, The Ark, Galway City of Culture 2020, Big Bang! Festival and Science Foundation Ireland, and most recently here at STAC during the recentJunction Arts Festival.
His most recent work 'Presence' is now on display here in the gallery at STAC, and it consists of 3 interactive sound sculptures that respond to the movements of the viewer around the space.
In this episode, I caught up with Ed via Zoom to chat about what life is like for an artist making work in the wilds of West Donegal, his interest in making electronic music and how his work has developed over time to include programmable sound sculptures.
Presence continues at South Tipperary Arts Centre until August 20th, and the gallery is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday.

INSIDE | OUT - Joe Caslin
Joe Caslin's latest temporary mural 'Come out to Play' has just been completed on the facade of the old museum/library on Parnell Street, Clonmel. In this episode I caught up with Joe to talk about his unique work and how his INSIDE | OUT mural represents a departure from his usually more serious subject matter.
Joe is an Irish street artist, art teacher and activist, best known for his beautifully rendered pencil drawings, which manifest as towering pieces of street art. His highly accessible work engages directly with the social issues of modern Ireland, on an unavoidable scale. Caslin confronts the subjects of suicide, drug addiction, economic marginalisation, marriage equality, stigma in mental health, direct provision, institutional power, inclusion, consent and most recently, the effects of the Covid19 pandemic on young people. The monochrome drawings Caslin creates hold a mirror up to the kind of society that we are, whilst asking us individually what kind of society we want to be a part of.

Walking in the Way is a series of performances by Pauline Cummins and Frances Mezzetti, begun in 2009, where the artists appear as men and represents a decade long collaboration between the artists. It is a timely showcase of contemporary thinking on gender issues and challenges the perceptions of what is culturally viewed as normal public realm negotiations from a gendered stance.
Women throughout their lives experience vulnerability in public space, have a sense of not belonging, with the implication of impropriety or deviant sexuality for walking alone on a street – a fact once again all too close to the bone with recent tragic events. What began, a decade ago as a project that informed the artists’ themselves about the different ways in which men and women occupy space, has grown into an exploration of different cultural assumptions about the right of ownership of the spaces of our daily lives, whether in Northern or Southern Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain or Turkey.
The show will also launch a new publication, Walking in the Way: Performing Masculinity, edited by Catherine Marshal and including essays by Dr Áine Phillips, Dr Kate Antosik Parsons and Nieves Correa.

This new body of work from John Kennedy, comes as the result of his Artist in Residence award with STAC and supported by Tipperary Arts Office. His work is primarily concerned with isolation, abandonment, and remoteness, while exploring the physical properties of paint and other less traditional materials. Edgelands focuses on expanses of land that exist in the margins. Rough and ready in the functionalism of their edifices, they are unappreciated by the average landscape lover. There is a silence and distance in the paintings, just outside of range of overhearing what is going on, evoking a feeling of being outside looking in.
John Kennedy lives and works in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. He has a BA in Fine Art from the Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork and he has recently completed the Turps Correspondence Course in Painting through Turps School in London.

Water Witching is an exhibition of new work by artist Shelagh Honan. Her lens-based narrative features photography, sculpture, video, sound and installation, all of which pivot around an audio video called Aistear.
The film touches on themes of mortality, transcendence, infinity and the abyss. Its co-ordinates are those of modernist poetic cinema, with long takes which are sometimes fixed in slow motion. The central figure moves through a series of landscapes and appears in a state of co-temporal elision, existing within her own frame of time and communing with nature through a dream-like sequence.
Water Witching is open 10-5pm Monday to Saturday

Shelagh Honan
Biography
Shelagh Honan
Shelagh Honan is a visual artist working in Ireland. She works predominantly with experimental film, photography, projection, sculpture and installation.
Her practice concerns the development of new strategies to present narrative through video, sound and projective environments. Her’s is a contemplative video practice that encompasses the minimalist, observational art of slow cinema, a genre of film-making that emphasizes long takes with little or no narrative.These films establish an evocative register that connects the viewer with the saliences of a memorialised past and a memorialised landscape.
She is a full time lecturer in Photography Film Video in Limerick School of Art and Design.
Recent exhibitions include the wom@rts series, opening in Maribor, Slovenia, Vilnius (Lithuania), Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Rijeka (Croatia), Angoulême (France) and Limerick (Ireland).
In 2019 she was awarded Culture Ireland funding to exhibit and attend in this series of international exhibitions. In 2018 she took part in a residency program in Avilés in Spain and she was invited to exhibit her installation Passage of Sound In Feile Na Bealtaine festival in Dingle. ‘Passage of Sound’ was also selected for Blow Up international Film festival in Chicago, and several other film festivals in Ireland. -
