Join us on Sunday, August 23rd for a curatorial tour of our current exhibition Panorama Europa.

Explore our current exhibition Panorama Europa at the Glucksman with a guided curatorial tour by Glucksman Curator of Exhibitions and Projects, Katie O'Grady.

Featuring artworks by Ursula Burke, Michael Canning, Sian Costello, Genieve Figgis, Claire Halpin, David Eager Maher, Rachel Fallon, Eleanor McCaughey, Isabel Nolan and Geraldine O’Neill.

Panorama Europa presents the work of ten Irish artists who engage with traditions of European painting to explore contemporary identities and wider societal issues. The selected paintings, tapestry, sculptures and drawings reference works from Pre-Renaissance to Impressionism. The exhibition invites you to reflect on these art histories and consider how artists draw on diverse pictorial tropes to create new modes of representation.

Panorama Europa takes its name from a commissioned work for the University College Cork art collection by artist Claire Halpin which was developed in partnership with the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence for EU Integration and Citizens’ Rights. This complex painting evokes renowned works of art across a present-day canvas of events. As with all the works on display in the exhibition, history and tradition become grounds for reclamation and caution, reminding us to remember, and renew, the past.

No specialist knowledge is required. This tour will last approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by time for discussion.
