We are delighted to announce that Vanessa Donoso Lopez has been awarded a Three Year Membership Studio at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.
Three Year Membership Studios at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (TBG+S) offer a long-term tenure to artists who have developed an established, professional practice. Project Studios offer a one-year tenure to artists who are developing exciting emerging practices and demonstrate talent and potential. The artists were awarded their studios by a selection panel following an open submission application process. The panel included current TBG+S Studio members and established curators based in Ireland and internationally. The selected artists are representative of the exceptionally high-quality and rigorous contemporary art practices in Ireland today.
Vanessa Donoso Lopez's work unfolds through an installation process that engages in a dialogue between cross-cultural identity, migration and the elements emerging from the inhabited space. She uses a variety of processes, including archaeological experimentation, collaborative clay sourcing, drawing, and conversations around repetitive object-making.
