Vanishing Futures: Collective Histories of Northern Irish Art XII
Curated by Peter Richards
Sinéad O'Donnell will be performing 'Headspace: White Cube' for the 1st time in Northern Ireland on the opening night.
Vanishing Futures is the twelfth and final instalment of the Golden Thread Gallery’s series of Collective Histories exhibitions. For this, the final instalment, Peter Richards, the series instigator, will bring together works by a number of artists that have played their part in shaping and enriching his experience of living in Belfast for the last twenty years and more. The exhibition will feature works from the late 1970’s through to the present day and embrace, where plausible, the construct of world-weary déjà vu.
