The Ark, A Cultural Centre for Children presents
Mandscape
Mandscape is an exhibition of images of landscape where mankind is present, or where mankind has left a trace on the landscape. First exhibited in the Sligo Art Gallery in Spring 2007, Mandscape is now embarking on a national tour starting in the South Tipperary Arts Centre, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. Mandscape is accompanied by a textured programme of events where artists will take you through an explorative journey of the exhibition through ‘hands-on’ workshops that respond to the urban or rural environment of each venue. Talks and seminars will explore the individual experience of artists who have worked with children through contemporary visual art. Mandscape features works by contemporary artists Brian Bourke, Oliver Comerford, Daniel De Chenu, Michael Durand, Martin Gale, Joy Gerrard, Nickie Hayden, Clare Langan, Brendan Neiland and Barbara Rae.
Curated by Martin Drury, founding director of The Ark. Mandscape is supported by The Touring Experiment, an initiative of The Arts Council. This is a two year action research project designed to inform and shape future policy for touring in the Republic of Ireland.
