Flix Artists: Remote Access
Rubicon Gallery, Dublin
28 April - 28 May 2005
FLIX is a cleverly constructed cabinet containing portfolios of drawings, artists’ books, paintings, prints and photographs. It has up to 60 artists’ work at any given time and they each have one portfolio in the cabinet. The idea behind FLIX was manyfold: to introduce new artists to established collectors, to encourage individuals to start a collection by offering affordable pieces and to present a larger selection of contemporary artists to an audience of artlovers, curators, artists and anyone.
The Rubicon have invited seven leading names from the world of the arts to browse through our FLIX portfolios and select one artist each that impresses them. Their work will be on the walls for the duration of the exhibition. But we also invite you to make a selection. Call in and flick through our cabinet of portfolios. Or, even simpler, just go on-line to find your favourite artist.
The Selectors are: Helen Carey - Director, Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris; Caoimhín Corrigan - Arts Officer, Leitrim County Council; Mike Fitzpatrick - Director, Limerick City Gallery of Art, Limerick; Aideen Howard - Director, Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray; Ronnie Hughes - Artist; Hugh Mulholland - Director, Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast ; Anna O’Sullivan - Director, Butler Gallery, Kilkenny
The Exhibiting Artists are: Neva Elliot; Fiona Larkin; Hannes Malte Mahler; Fionna Murray; Ciaran Murphy; Isabel Nolan; David Rhodes
