What's on Internationally

At the Towner Art Gallery, Anne Hardy curates ‘The Weather Garden’ in Towner’s eighth and final exhibition as part of the UK Arts Council Collection National Partners Programme 2016-19. Among the artists in the exhibition is John Gibbons, an Irish-born artist now working in London. His work has always been concerned with pure physicality, with an emphasis on materials, form and construction. Deeply textural, his works are often designed to be located in unusual environments and, in this way, are meant to be unsettling.
The Weather Garden: until 2 June

The Centre Culturel Irlandais presents ‘En attendant’ from Tomi Ungerer, the Alsace-born artist who has lived in Ireland for over forty years. A draughtsman and satirist of international renown, Ungerer’s work has been greatly influenced by his experience of World War II. Over the last sixty years he has produced over 140 publications and 40,000 drawings that reflect his passionate abhorrence of violence and war. This exhibition showcases a selection of his most recent collages and sculptures created in his West Cork studio.
Tomi Ungerer: 16 March – 5 July
