Time & Time Again: An Exhibition by Young Visionaries
10 July 2024 - 22 September 2024
Admission Free
Time and Time Again is an exhibition curated by Young Visionaries about the past, present, and future of society. Ideated and executed by members of Dublin’s next generation of leaders, this exhibition activates a selection of objects from the Hugh Lane Gallery’s collection in an immersive experience that considers both individual and collective narratives underscoring time: growing up, reaching the present moment, and then anticipating the open-ended future.
Over the course of three months, a group of young visionaries worked alongside Fulbright Scholar Allison Carey to learn about curatorial practice within Hugh Lane Gallery and beyond.
During collaborations with the Gallery’s staff, visits to artist studios across Dublin, and meetings with accomplished curators, the Transition Year students re-examined the meaning and potential of curatorial practice and galleries at large. These experiences and conversations prepared the group to ideate and execute their own exhibition.
Animating modern and contemporary artworks from the Hugh Lane Gallery’s collection through lived experiences, Time & Time Again retraces the experiences that define growing up, reaching the present moment, and anticipating the daunting future– as seen from the perspective of Dublin’s youth.
The exhibition was planned by Allison Carey as part of Hugh Lane Gallery’s art education programmes for young people.
