Joanne Boyle

Joanne Boyle is an artist based in Dublin. She graduated with a BA in Visual Arts Practice from IADT in 2009. Her practice explores notions of the void, infinity and negative capability through text, drawing, time-based sculptural installations and paint.  Joanne has been working with her own practice for 10 years now which has included dance, movement, costume and special effects make up, in both a film setting and a theatrical setting.

Joanne uses dance and the language of the body to inform a lot of her work, which can have a performative quality to it. Although she never appears in the work as a performer, she uses the body as a tool to explore concepts of spacial mapping.

The unfolding moment 2007

Crushing Spring 2007(detail)

Isabel Nolan

Nolan’s work encompasses drawings, paintings, animation, mixed media sculptures and most recently, embroidery and fabric hangings. Distance, both notional and physical, is an enduring preoccupation, and the work delineates real and imaginary relationships. The work is intimate, informal and relatively modest in scale. Frequently it features abstract forms, representational imagery and text - some or all of which are at times combined in individual pieces.

Recent solo exhibitions include ‘This time I promise to be more careful’, Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, 2007, a Douglas Hyde Gallery 3 project at Farmleigh, Dublin, 2006, a show at The Studio for the Glasgow International, 2006 and ‘Everything I said let me explain’, Project Arts Centre, Dublin 2005. Selected group exhibitions include ‘Like leaves’ in the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York, 2007.  ‘Lost tongues rediscovered’ Stroom, Den Haag, 2007, ‘If I can’t dance…’, De Appel, Amsterdam, 2006, ‘Are we alone?’ Glass Box, Paris, 2006, and ‘Ireland at Venice’, the 51st Venice Biennale, 2005.

Nolan is also a co-founder & asst. editor of the fanzine ‘feint’. e: feintis@gmail.com Born Dublin, 1974, e: issienolan@hotmail.com
