NCAD Gallery presents Incubation Residency 2017 awardee Sonia Shiel for Dublin Gallery Weekend.
The NCAD Gallery is open on Dublin Gallery Weekend 2017, 24 November 2017.
Friday, 24th November - Friday, 24th November 2017
The NCAD Gallery is delighted to present the outcome of the inaugural NCAD Gallery Incubation Residency 2017 with an installation of the audio work, 'Rectangle Squared' by artist Sonia Shiel, on view Friday 24 November 2017, 5pm - 9pm on the occasion of Dublin Gallery Weekend 2017. Copies of the new publication, 'Rectangle Squared', written by Shiel will be available at the Gallery on the evening.
Gemma Tipton, in Frieze Magazine, writes: 'Sonia Shiel’s ‘Rectangle Squared’ at Cork’s Crawford Gallery (8 September – 20 October 2017) successfully blended her skill as a painter and her fascination with performance. It was also an intriguing foray into ideas of constructed realities, be they within an artwork and gallery, or those we invent to make life more exciting, manageable, bearable (take your pick). Alluding also to today’s mania with fake news and wilful blindness, there was a great deal to interest and a lot to love, so it’s great to see the NCAD gallery celebrate DGW with a short showcase of Shiel’s work. Shiel spent a month, earlier this year, as the first recipient of the National College of Art and Design’s Incubation Residency and, as a great deal of the Crawford show was hatched there, this is a sort of a homecoming. The gallery will be showing part of the set for Shiel’s play Rectangle Squared (2017)'.
