126 Artist-run Gallery & Studios & Artlink hosts 'The Point of Perspective', curated by the 126 board of directors, which takes place from 30 July - 28th August 2022.
The artist is encouraged through the process of art making to reach the highest point of perspective, allowing the process to take them on a journey, carrying them to the the most prosperous point of realisation, a point of view reflecting a place of revelation.
Donegal is an emotional landscape of mountainous peaks, the highest trails, and Ireland's highest point of landscape perspective. An idyllic setting to reach the furthest point of perspective through the process of art.
Is the view from the final point as satisfying as it is telling? What can this teach us of the artistic point of perspective and of single and multiple points along the way? A metaphoric experiment of reason.
Through an open call, artists were invited to submit work in which they have achieved through the process of art making, a place of higher perspective. The exhibition is interested in the perspective of the other, allowing an attainment of points of view to culminate in the form of a group show.
126 Gallery Board are Meabh Noonan, Mary McGraw, Liz Curran, Lindsay Merlihan and Sona Smedkova
