Affective Forms
Stroll across the Greenway bridge in Athlone and nestling on the River Shannon bank you’ll find the stunning Luan Gallery. The Luan Gallery is a showcase for the most interesting artists from the midlands, Ireland and abroad.
At the
Luan Gallery on
Saturday 21st March at 12pm a guided tour of Luan’s current exhibition Affective Forms with curator Aoife Banks.
Affective Forms is a multidisciplinary group exhibition featuring new and existing work by Tara Carroll, Sian Costello, Phelim Hoey, Áine O' Hara, Day Magee, and Rajinder Singh.
Affective Forms explores evolving representations of the human body in contemporary Irish art through painting, photography, sculpture, performance, and film. Foregrounding the lived experiences of bodies often marginalised in mainstream visual culture, the exhibition brings together works that rethink the human body not as an isolated or idealised figure, but as a relational, sensing, and meaning-making site, while examining the emotional and spatial connections between body and environment.
Admission to the gallery is free for groups and individuals.
Tours for schools and groups can be arranged by contacting the gallery in advance on 090 6442154.
