Coming Up
Gary Shaw
‘memeOrising’
14 - 27 June 2025
Opening Saturday 14 June 2-4pm
Gary Shaw returns to R-Space Gallery with selected work developed since 2019, a period that covers the collapse of political institutions, UK withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit), the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and the centenary of Northern Ireland in 2021. All are referenced throughout the exhibition and contribute to his ongoing intent of illuminating the narratives of post-conflict malaise and political ineptitude in visual ways that are comical, profound and despairing.
Get Inspired
R Space’s ambition is to increase access, understanding and enjoyment of contemporary visual arts, crafts, design and other related arts activities. Exhibitions, artist talks, arts workshops and outreach programmes are delivered throughout the year in the gallery space.
