From Here To There
From Here to There brings together artists David Lunney, Katie Watchorn and Áine McBride. Over six weeks, they will work onsite at The Douglas Hyde using the gallery as a studio; a space to think, build, experiment, and make new work. The project began on the 20th September with the artists’ arrival into the gallery, and on the 29th October their group exhibition will open. Continuing until 5 February 2022, the exhibition installation will alter over time.
