About the Exhibitions Database

The NIVAL Exhibitions Database has been compiled to improve public access to the Library's extensive collection of files documenting art and design exhibitions in Ireland.  The files contain catalogues, press material and ephemera on more than 10,000 solo and group exhibitions from the period 1900 to the present.

The Exhibitions Database is a reference resource providing basic details on Irish exhibitions including title, date, venue, and artists represented.  A visit to the library is recommended to researchers seeking a comprehensive view of the actual files.

Scope and Content:

'Bloused' is a new work made for the cube space at The LAB by Caoimhe Kilfeather. Strips of black rubber hang heavily over a supporting steel structure. The vertical lengths of rubber create a changing linear field and allows the work to be viewed as an image or drawing, yet the weight, smell and scale of the material gives it the distinct presence of sculpture.
