Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council was delighted to present the dlr Open Exhibition of visual art by artists who have studied in, are originally from, or are living or working in the County. The work was be selected by Ann Mulrooney of Cartoon Saloon after an open-submission process.
“The world is often a chaotic place. As humans we are built to be sensory receivers, retrospectively filtering the chaos to create pattern and meaning. But artists do it a little differently - maybe they spend longer in the hinterland between order and chaos, or maybe their filters are broader and more open to the unexpected...to quote Nietzsche, "one must face chaos to give birth to a star".
That's what I'm interested in exploring in this open submission - order, chaos, how we create pattern and meaning from it all and what we learn about ourselves in doing so.”
Ann Mulrooney
Submissions were invited from artists who have studied in, are living in, working in or originally from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County.
dlr County Council presented an award of €1,000 to Dianne Whyte who was the overall winner of the Open Exhibition and two runner up prizes of €250 each to Darina Meagher and David Begley.
