Borderline is the title of an exhibition of recent paintings by Galway-based artist Mara Sola Lopéz opening at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar next Friday, July 6 at 7.30pm. Borderline is an exhibition that explores the perceptions and emotions connected to experiences of alienation and displacement. Geocultural border-crossings, memories and influences from the tradition of magical realism have inspired the scenarios in Mara’s recent works, in which creatures are relocated into dreamscapes imbued with a sense of loss and an awareness of new unexpected frontiers and pastures. Mara has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Ireland and UK and is represented by KT Contemporary Gallery in Dublin and Mermaid and Monster Gallery in Cardiff, Wales. Her work is in the collections of the VAI and the OPW along with a number of selected private collections. This is Mara’s first major solo show.

IF YOU are in Clifden later this month, you will discover that almost everywhere you go in the town there will be an art exhibition on display.

ONCE THE Galway Arts Festival is over it is time for the Galway Races, which means betting, drinking, fashion, and gee-gees, but for every Galwegian who loves the races, there is a Galwegian who would prefer to do something else.
