Revelation Exhibition National Gallery of Ireland, Merrion Square West, From Wednesday 9th April to Sunday 28th September 2008 National Gallery of Ireland will present an exhibition in collaboration with the printmaking workshop, Graphic Studio Dublin. Specially commissioned prints inspired by the Gallery's world renowned collection of paintings and drawings will be on show alongside a selection of the inspirational works from the collection. The result will be a display of contemporary prints featuring unique interpretations of the profound concept of revelation. The artists have the freedom to explore the idea of revelation in whatever way they choose. Among other things, revelation - 'to make known something hidden' - can refer to religious faith, intellectual discovery and aspects of science and nature. The exhibition will feature 29 artists representing both Graphic Studio printmakers and invited artists. It will be accompanied by a full-colour catalogue with an essay by Mark Patrick Hederman, a Benedictine monk and philosopher of note, who has written extensively on art and culture.

At the end of 2007 Marta Wakula-Mac and Zdzislaw Tohl, the director of Muzeum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow" in Gorlice Poland, initiated a project between the museum in Gorlice and 15 members of Graphic Studio Dublin. Polish artist Wakula-Mac then proceeded to liase between the museum and Graphic Studio Dublin, and together we began to coordinate this exciting project. Where Borders Meet, was developed by Tohl and Wakula-Mac, into a two week residency in the museum in Gorlice. Gorlice is an old industrial town on the Gorale region of Poland, and on the border of the Ukraine, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As a unique cultural area in Poland this town provides a fantastic area to research ideas and develop areas of study for the 15 artsists involved. The residency will establish dialogue between Graphic Studio Dublin and the museum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow, and also between Irish and Polish artists. The residency comprises three exhibitions. The first, an exhibition of existing work of the 15 participants is to to take place upon arrival in Gorlice in September 2008. The second exhibition, in early Summer 2009, is of work made in response to the two week residency and will also be held in Muzeum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow". The third exhibition, a selection of work from the 2009 exhibition, will take place in Graphic Studio Gallery in Dublin in February 2010.
