The second stream in the Futures series offers a new generation of emerging artists the opportunity to exploit the galleries of the RHA, writes Ruth Carroll.
This exhibition is the second phase in the Futures series, a sequence of exhibitions that endeavours to document and contextualize the work of emerging artists, around whom exists a growing critical and curatorial consensus.
Futures first took place between 2001 and 2005 as Eurojet Futures and exhibited the work of twenty-seven young Irish artists, based both in Ireland and abroad. Of these artists, many have become leading practitioners and have gone on to realise success and ambition in their practices.
