Join artist Róisín Lewis and  curator Jonathan Carroll for this informal conversation and walk through the exhibition Twist and Shout.

Gallery, Level 3

Twist and Shout is a solo exhibition of new artworks by Róisín Lewis. The works in this exhibition evolve from Lewis's Summer bicycle journeys through the Irish landscape. She records her observations of wildflowers and grasses while cycling through coastal landscapes, naming each species aloud as she passes.Róisín Lewis works with watercolour to recreate her experience of light and colour on backroads filled with fuchsia, montbretia, loosestrife, willowherb and meadowsweet creating textiles with the same plants using traditional techniques of twisting, looping and weaving. These slow, repetitive processes mirror the rhythms of the body moving through the landscape. The exhibition brings together Lewis's experiments in representing data, movement and memory as part of her artistic process.Jonathan Carroll is an independent curator and art writer based in Dublin. He has curated the visual arts strand for St. Patrick’s Festival and was on the panel of curators for the Goethe-Institut. He was the assistant curator of the Project Arts Centre and currently a tour guide for the Royal Hibernian Academy. Jonathan is a graduate of Art History UCD, Cultural Management Instituto Universitario Ortega Y Gasset, Madrid and Curating Contemporary Art at the RCA, London.This event is open to all; this is a standing event with seating available if required.
