Centre Culturel Irlandais is delighted to present Mise en scène, a joint exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptural works by Swedish artist Cecilia Danell, who is based in Ireland, and Denmark-based Irish artist Eamon O’Kane. Both explore encounters with landscape. Their approaches upend romantic notions of nature as untended wilderness by drawing attention to human activity, be it in the shape of decaying remnants, architectural constructions or treasured trees. Places become imbued with artifice in a dialectic relationship with the environment which these works represent in all their theatricality.
Irish Culture Night 17 September, 5.30pm: Artist Talk 6.30 – 8pm Opening reception 8pm Gig in the courtyard with Cecilia Danell’s band A Lilac Decline (featuring Cecilia Danell, Brian Kelly and Keith Wallace)
