Join us this Sunday for a tour with artist and guide Mags Harnett that encourages participants to look at art for a little longer, allowing us to not only see more but to familiarise ourselves with the works in greater detail.

Looking at artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories, ideas, feelings and observations about the work. Take your time to truly immerse yourself in the art and discover new perspectives. Don’t rush – savour the experience with our Slow Art Looking Tour.

Slow Art Looking Tour with Mags Harnett
Sunday 18 October, 1-2pm
Tickets: €5

Join us at the RHA this lunchtime for a conversation between artist and writer Adrian Duncan and curator Davey Moor, discussing the exhibition Buildings from a Novel, which consists primarily of a series of sculptures that were made while Adrian was writing his recently published novel A Thought Without Collision (Tuskar Rock Press).

These sculptures, which resemble fictional buildings imagined in the novel, belong to points in an imaginary terrain.

𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 - 𝗠𝗮ï𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀 – 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸

Join us this evening at the RHA for a screening of Maïa Nunes’ Lake Burst short film accompanied by a live performance of the original soundtrack by Maïa Nunes on vocals with Brendan Jenkinson on clarinet.

The screening will be followed by a conversation between Nunes and artist Alice Rekab. Bringing these two distinctive artists into conversation will reveal how their practices explore similar themes and resonate with each other, thus contextualising and offering deeper insight into Nunes’ exhibition and wider practice.

This short film, included in Nunes’ current Lake Burst exhibition at RHA, is part of a series of artworks responding to Lough Bré and exploring the geo-mythology of Irish lakes as sites of healing, symbols of death and rebirth, and portals to the Otherworld and subconscious realms.

Maïa Nunes – Film Screening, Performance & Artist Talk
Friday 9 October, 7-8.15pm

Tickets, €10 each, available from rhagallery.ie/events/public-events/maia-nunes-film-screening-performance-and-artist-talk/
