A space that is resilient and counteracts the hardness of the conflict beyond its fabric walls. The artist examines the dichotic co-existence of these two opposing realities in her paintings. In her paintings she depic ts temporary shelters that strive to remain a home.  She elevates the las t remaining domestic objects that these families in Gaza possess\, to pric eless commodities. Each domestic scene is adorned in patterns from the fam ilies’ personal possessions allowing their presence to be felt in the wo rk. \nTwo garments of children’s clothing hang in the sash windows of th e gallery. The small jackets are made from medical gauze\, a fabric which originated in Gaza\, hence its name. This fragile fabric gains its strengt h as a medical bandage for the wounded. These ‘Baby Armours’ are a hom age to the tens of thousands of children who have been killed in the genoc ide in Gaza. \nMiriam also references the archeological documentation of w ar in her series of ancient pots which carry images of displaced Palestini an families. History is more often narrated through a series of battles\, won and lost. Miriam McConnon’s work aims to document and to archive for future generations\, the overlooked side of this war\, the survival of th e domestic living space and its function as a gate keeper of everyday secu rity. \nThis exhibition recognizes the unassuming power of the domestic sp ace to facilitate security and dignity in a time of famine and genocide. \ n \n2026 is a milestone year for the artist who\, back in March\, had a so lo show at the Europa Gallery\, Dublin\, to mark the Cypriot Presidency of the European Council. We had the pleasure of coordinating the exhibition\ , titled Common Fractures\, by invitation of and in collaboration with the  European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland. We should also congratula te the artist for featuring on the website of the Irish Department of Fore ign Affairs and in Irish art in Cyprus: Meet Miriam McConnon\, a wonderful film about her practice and work in Cyprus. \nThe official opening takes place at 3pm on Sunday August 30th 2026\, at Olivier Cornet Gallery\, 3 Gr eat Denmark Street\, Dublin 1.

She holds an MA in Translation Studies and is a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. \nA special musical event will also take place on Culture Night 2026\, Septem ber 18th 2026. \nThe exhibition runs until September 27th 2026.

The exhibition brings together two primary conceptual ideas: the print studio as a dynamic site of collective artistic production\, and the salon as a forum for inclusive presentation. \nThe print studio as a site of artistic production is one that facilitates and supports modes of production in pr intmaking. Print studios are factorial communal spaces that are both inclu sive and accessible. They are sustaining spaces that are hands-on and hapt ic and filled with specialist materials and technical knowledge. Printmake rs and artists orbit these spaces supported by their gravitational pull an d benefit from the mutual support and opportunity that arises. \n\n\nThe t erm Salone derives from the French term for a reception space. These space s contradictorily create an elite space for specialism\, while simultaneou sly creating a bounded inclusivity within that envelope. The salon typical ly created a formal device to create commonality between disparate element s. Inevitably hierarchies between genres developed\, the humility of still lives were skyed while history paintings were hung on the privileged eye level. On balance the salon space is an egalitarian one that corresponds t o the social nature of spaces such as the Black Church Print Studio. The l eveling nature of the print studio is both an intergenerational workspace that accommodates artists working at various levels of experience in a spe cialist field. \nSatellite Salon is conceived as the inaugural pilot in a series of biennials focused exclusively on printmaking\, this exhibition h ighlights the essential medium and core discipline underpinning the Black Church Print Studio members’ diverse artistic practices. \n\nSatellite S alon\, curated by Colin Martin\, commissioned by Black Church Print Studio is at The Library Project\, 4 Temple Bar\, Dublin from September 4th–26 th 2026.  Opening takes place on Thursday\, September 3rd.

It is an oral storytelling nar rative that is about a broader reflection on what it is to be born out of a working class environment.  This poem is in homage to all people from w orking-class communities who find their strength and become their own king s and queens like warriors from an ancient past. \n\n\n\nAs a playwright\, Mary’s work includes the highly acclaimed The Woman is Present: Women ’s Stories of WWII co-written with Paul Kennedy\, Fiona Thompson and Fé ilim James\;  Tales of Love and Loss featuring two monologues selected by President Michael D Higgins for performance at Áras an Uachtaráin\, Con stance and Her Friends and Grace and Joe for performance in 2023\; In One Breath from the award-winning Testimonies(co-written with Paul Kennedy)\; Shadow of My Soul and May Our Faces Haunt You. \n\n\n\nMary’s film work includes the hour-long documentary Stories From the Shadows (co-directed w ith Mark Quinn)\; the short film Tell Them Our Names\,  (directed by Mary \, co-written with Paul Kennedy) inspired by women’s stories of WWII and selected for the London Eye International Film Festival and Kerry Film Fe stival\; the creative documentary Women in an Equal Europe\; the short fil m Courageous Women\, inspired by powerful women’s stories from the 1916 to 1923 decade of commemorations period in Irish history\; In Time\, a poe m-film created in response to the changing landscape of our world today in a time of pandemic (written by Mary Moynihan\, co-directed with Mark Quin n)\; and The Shoah: A Survivor’s Memory – The World’s Legacy\, adapt ed from the writings of French woman Simone Veil (1927-2017)\, a French la wyer\, politician and feminist\, Holocaust survivor and first female Presi dent of the European Parliament. \n\n\n\nMary has a focus on using histori cal memory in her artistic practice as inspiration for the creation of ori ginal artworks. A number of her writings highlight stories of ordinary yet extraordinary women who stood up for the rights of others with a focus on the Holocaust\, WWII and the revolutionary period in Irish history. \n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganisations Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\ n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Information: LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T121521Z LOCATION:Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality\, 3 0 Sandycove Road\, Sandycove\, Dublin\, A96V9P1\, 30 Sandycove Road\, Sand ycove\, Dublin\, A96V9P1 URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/culture-night-at-smashing-times-visual- art-gallery/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dublin-ie X-SOURCE-NAME:Smashing Times X-SOURCE-URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/open-mic-night-2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:September: An exhibition without borders DTSTART:20260918T090000Z DTEND:20261016T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T001515Z UID:10000744-1789725600-1792173600@smashingtimes.ie CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Smashing Times Arts & Human Rights Radio Show on Dublin South FM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroadcast 19 August + 26 August 2026\, 6-7pm Int erview with poet Paddy Bushe Today’s show has a feature artist interview with poet Paddy Bushe who is one of the six contributing artists to Editi on VII of Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal.

September – An Exhibitio n without Borders runs at the Green on Red Gallery Dublin from 18 Septembe r to 16 October 2026\, 10am-6pm\, Monday to Friday weekly. Green on Red Ga llery is situated at Park Lane\, Spencer Dock\, Dublin 1\, D01 Y821. \n\n\ n\nGreen on Red Gallery \n\n\n\nThe Green On Red Gallery began in 1992 an d has since become one of Ireland’s most dynamic and exciting galleries. We represent some of the best contemporary work on the market\, both Iris h and international. The programme is based on 6-7 solo exhibitions and 2- 3 group or thematic exhibitions per year.  Green On Red Gallery particip ates in international art fairs and the gallery’s artists regularly exhi bit abroad in both private and public venues. \n\n\n\nAlong with our progr amme of exhibitions at home and abroad\, the gallery offers a consultancy service tailored to individual needs:  \n\n\n\n\nBuilding individual priv ate collections \n\n\n\nConsulting with companies and organisations to su pply artwork for their collections \n\n\n\nFinding the right piece for a particular location \n\n\n\nAdvising on outdoor or public art projects\n\ n\n\n\nVisit the Green on Red website \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies:\n\n\n\n Brian Hegarty \n\n\n\nHegarty’s practice sits somewhere between painting \, sculpture\, and assemblage\, and resists settling into any one of them. Working with found and everyday materials\, mainly paper and  card he bu ilds layered surfaces through accumulation\, alteration\, and repair. \n\n \n\nRather than hiding how the works are made\, they are self-explanatory.     Visible seams\, exposed edges\, runny glue\, the evidence of the ha nd are all apparent and exposed. Cutting\, folding\, layering\, and gluing are both method and meaning — structures built provisionally\, likely t o fail\, not built to last. This instability isn’t separate from the wor k’s meaning\; it is the meaning\, mirroring an existential unease the wo rk doesn’t resolve\, only makes visible\, and briefly\, holds together. \n\n\n\nBrian Hegarty is an artist based in Drogheda County Louth. He was born in Dublin in 1970 and graduated from D.I.T. College of Fine Art in 19 94. He has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. He runs t hirtythree-45\, a multi-platform arts project working independently and in collaboration with other artists\, musicians\, and arts organisations. Mo st recently he initiated The KIOSK Project Art Space\, a small artist-run project space on Narrow West Street in Drogheda. \n\n\n\n\n\nJúlius Kolle rDelving beyond art as a practice\, Koller’s work explores art as a medi um of cultural action. In a bid to investigate communications and actions beyond their institutional and political definitions his work hones its fo cus on everyday gestures and rituals. In doing so he creates the concept o f “‘cultural institutions”. \n\n\n\nIn late 1980s Czechoslovakia\, K oller found himself deeply concerned with the Czechoslovakian Spring libe ration. This event saw Warsaw troops invade Czechoslovakia in a bid to sup press the Spring liberation process within the region. At the same time\, there was an exponential growth in the economic shift to a globally driv en free market society. This period of change prompted much reflection  – specifically the contradiction of Utopia and real life. Here his seri es U.F.O.-naut J.K. was conceived. An almost life-long series of self-port raits released annually\, many pieces feature Koller himself using ironic gestures and using wildly various symbols and everyday objects like nets\, tennis rackets\, table-tennis bats\, his own head of hair\, and so on. \n \n\n\nThe (otznik) question mark recurs throughout his work. As the collec tion evolves so does the question mark. He weaves the symbol in throughout a wide variety of materials and formats. The symbol serves not only as a reference and prompt to question politics\, society and environment but al so as a universal term: it stood for openness\, willingness to explore\, u ncertainty and doubt. In his work Meditacia / Meditation (U.F.O.)  1983 Július is pictured with his head perched and eyes closed\, holding only a piece of paper. The piece of paper contains a small pencil illustration – a circle drawn unsteadily. This sketch encapsulates the spirit of the man. Here too\, the subject of free expression has become an inquiry\, one that is not only focused on social conditions but on one’s own capacity for action.  \n\n\n\nFor an Irish equivalent\, think the late Maurice O ’Connell\, an art rogue\, a performer\, a wanderer and a unique presence in the Irish art world of the 1990s. He took part in the first Manifest a ( 1996 )\, Europe’s only Nomadic Biennial of Contemporary Art. He  had a solo exhibition The Last Great Buffalo Hunt in Green on red Galler y in 1997. \n\n\n\n\n\nNil Yalter \n\n\n\nBorn in Cairo and raised in Ista nbul\, Nil Yalter is a pioneering Turkish artist whose work has been sha ped by her experiences across different cultures\, traditions and politica l landscapes. Drawing on her Anatolian heritage while embracing the experi mental possibilities of contemporary art\, Yalter has developed a practi ce that spans more than five decades. \n\n\n\nHer work explores migration\ , identity\, feminism and social justice through the stories of those ofte n overlooked. Combining visual art\, performance\, technology and traditio ns drawn from oral and visual cultures\, Yalter examines the resilience and complexity of human experience while giving voice to marginalised comm unities and questioning the social and political structures that shape the ir lives. \n\n\n\nIn Lord Byron Meets the Shaman Woman (2009)\, Nil Yalte r draws on her longstanding interest in shamanism\, nomadic cultures and t he cultural histories of Anatolia to revisit the figure of the female sham an. Combining performance\, costume\, archival imagery and text\, the work pays tribute to women who occupied significant spiritual\, social and int ellectual roles within their communities. By staging an imagined encounter between the shaman woman and Lord Byron\, Yalter brings together differ ent histories and cultural perspectives\, questioning how identities and t raditions have been represented and understood. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganisat ions Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nV enue Information: LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T001515Z LOCATION:Green on Red Gallery\, Park Lane\, Spencer Dock\, Dublin\, D01 Y8 21 URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/september-an-exhibition-without-borders /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dublin-ie X-SOURCE-NAME:Smashing Times X-SOURCE-URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/open-mic-night-2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Trust Artists Unconditionally - Public Art of 1990s | Exhibition a t Garter Lane Arts Centre DTSTART:20260918T100000Z DTEND:20260918T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260911T122836Z UID:4393@visualartists.ie CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that explores the innovation of a series of flag ship public art commissions initiated by Garter Lane Arts Centre and artis t Garrett Phelan between 1995 & 1999.\nPhelan\, alongside then Garter Lane director Annette Clancy\, gave no title to the programme or identified an y of the events or encounters that occurred explicitly as art.
