Description:
Temple Bar Gallery & Studios is one of Ireland's leading contemporary art venues. Centrally located in Temple Bar, Temple Bar Gallery & Studios is a publicly funded, non-profit-making organisation, which hosts a high profile programme of Irish and international art. This programme includes the work of both established and emerging artists working in a wide range of media. Temple Bar Gallery & Studios was established by artists in 1983 in response to the increasing demands for affordable studio spaces in Dublin city centre, a move which proved to be crucial in consolidating Temple Bar's status as Dublin's cultural quarter. In the mid-nineties a new gallery and studio complex was custom designed for the company and today the building that houses Temple Bar Gallery & Studios integrates a gallery, an impressive atrium space and 30 artists' studios. The use of these studios reflects the broad-ranging developments in contemporary practice as artists working with photography, video, sound, sculpture, print and painting all currently occupy spaces at Temple Bar Gallery & Studios.Location: 5, Temple Bar, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Annika Ström’s first solo exhibition in Ireland is curated by Aoife Tunney. At Temple Bar Gallery and Studios Dublin, Annika Ström presents a stage for an event: a performance or a talk. It is built out of basic wood and is adorned with textile works from Sweden. The piece is functional as a stage, as we know is used to announce, act out or to express emotions to the public. But this platform is also reminiscent of a piece of furniture, kept in a private space. The meaning is taking place, a performance perhaps: The audience is looking back at themselves and they are participants in this meaning. The sculpture looks on to the stage, and is commenting on the stillness of the room, commenting on the art world. What is the artwork? Who is the artist? What is this event about and when is it going to start? A film of some of Ström's past performances plays in the gallery. They are the sort of performances you could see being delivered on the stage. The sort of emotions the artist could have displayed. The film and the stage are interrupted. This could be the error of presenting artworks.
