Siobhán Hapaska’s provocative and witty sculpture installations question notions of certainty, writes Liam Kelly ahead of her exhibition at Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast.
The Ormeau Baths Gallery (OBG) will hold a major exhibition of the Belfast-born artist Siobhán Hapaska opening on 24 September 2010. The exhibition will be the first in her native city and will include a combination of new and recent works.
Siobhán Hapaska is a graduate of Goldsmiths College, London (1992) and has consistently exhibited in major exhibitions internationally including Documenta X, Germany, Venice Biennale 2001 and Magasin 3, Stockholm. She also shows regularly in Dublin at the Kerlin Gallery and in New York at the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery. Her works are in a number of private and public collections including The Tate Gallery, London.
