2016 SHOWER OF KUNST UNDERGRAD SPOTLIGHT AWARD

Amy Malone of NCAD is this year’s pick for our Spotlight Award.  Congratulations.  Malone’s work lies somewhere between sculpture, hand crafted, textile, text based, the concept driven, and activist.  Her installation, We are now ready to move to something else, stood out as one of the most pared back and focused in the undergraduate degree shows this year.  She approached the heavy issues of labour exploitation in the big business of the international textile trade with a contemporary sculptural flair.  We loved it.

#DubCon11 Best Review Award

Dublin Contemporary 2011 was a big ask. We are, in this country, often adrift of the curve, somewhere between a second thought and a small wish. In this respect, the whole conception from beginning to end was a true achievement in its ambition and also in its disregard for the rules of play. Let us not consider the politics surrounding the event as anything more than reality, no doubt one from which a lot will be learnt, and taken by those who must. What is… Read More »
