A4 member Aideen Farrell will have her work on show as part of ‘Waystation’, a MA Fine Art (TU Dublin) graduate exhibition, which will be showing in The Complex Gallery from The 25/10/2024 – 02/11/2024. It will also include the work of graduates: Kat Lalor, Eden Munroe, Ger O’Brien, and Claire O’Hagan. Go give it a visit!

“The five artists have worked collaboratively as a group and in conjunction with Complex curator Mark O’Gorman, to create Waystation as a site of cross contamination and colliding worlds beyond the usual conventions of a degree show. A way station is an intermediate stopping place, a moment to pause on a journey. Waystation is an imagined rest-stop for the artist’s work, an interval as it prepares to embark once again on its journey in the world. As such, Waystation is less a fixed destination and more a process and journey.

Waystation deploys archival and storeroom conventions as a means for display, speaking to processes of gathering, storing and contextualising knowledge. Each artist follows threads of disturbed temporalities and queer fictions. Moments of flux and slippage are acted out, documented, and archived within the multiplicities of The Complex Gallery – a space retains pasts from its storied life – from warehouse to gallery to Waystation. The artists generate portals into possible pasts and speculative futures, inviting viewers to cross thresholds and collaborate in world building.”
