Opening tonight Friday, November 2, is Latency, a group exhibition of works by members of Engage Art Studios, curated by arts writer Michaële Cutaya.
Michaële explains: “There are different ways to approach the notion of latency, whether as something existing but not yet manifest, lying dormant until suitable circumstances develop, or as the time lapse between a stimulus and its response. All quite suggestive in regard to the artist’s studio with its fascinating potential and yet often frustrating manifestations.” For this exhibition, 18 members of Engage Art Studios are proposing artworks in response to what latency might mean to them and their practice. Founded in 2004, Engage Art Studios is located on the top floors of the old Pro Cathedral Building in Galway city and offers contemporary artists a creative space in the midst of the bustling city.
