In this piece the projection is looped and silent; it fades to white every 5min 15sec to reveal the painting. Niamh O'Malley b.1975) is a Dublin-based visual artist from Mayo. She is best known for her moving image and sculptural installations. She studied at the University of Ulster in Belfast and received a PhD in practice-led research in 2003. She is a member of Aosdána and represented Ireland at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022. Her work is in a number of significant collections, including The Hugh Lane, Irish Museum of Modern Art, and the Arts Council of Ireland, OPW, Stefan Stolitzka Collection, Graz, FRAC Méca-Nouvelle Aquitaine, France and Galleria Arte Moderna, Turin. In Niamh’s quiet and often minimal work she uses drawing, sculpture and moving image to look at how we locate and position ourselves in our environments and how we shape the materials and spaces we inhabit from our landscapes to our domestic furniture. She is interested in trying to hold something still, to pause and tether us in a moment in an all too hectic world.
