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.
