show description:
Meant to Fade is a group exhibition featuring artworks that celebrate ephemerality, transformation, and the temporalities of non-toxic, natural, and living materials. The works push against long standing norms of artistic display and function, challenging the notion of creations outliving their creators. In a world finally coming to terms with the damaging environmental impacts of certain materials and methods, artists featured in Meant to Fade have embraced slowness, care, and a precarious materiality. Some of the works will be morphing and fading over the month-long exhibition period.

artists:
Annie Hogg, Aster Reem David, Ashleigh Ellis, Catherine McDonald, Christine Mackey, Christine Prescott, Dearbhla Ryan, Eliza Clifford, Emily Mc Gardle, Francine Marquis, Ida Mitrani, Ione Maria Rojas, John Steck Jr., Lorna Hayden & Oana Sânziana Marian, Kate Shorey, Katerina Gribkoff, Louise Frances Smith, Mairéad McGuinness, Marielle MacLeman, Molly Sawyer, Sophie Anna Gibbings, and Sylvia Maher. Artists who performed on opening night were Áine Rose Connell, Day Magee, Kate Shorey & Sophie Anna Gibbings, and Joseph Hendel.
