Beyond the country

Beyond the country presents historic and contemporary artistic representations of the land. The sometimes contradictory depictions include perceptions of the sublime in landscape, as well as observations of narrative, mythical, environmental or social aspects of rural life. While the countryside is often described in opposition to the city, this exhibition challenges that division by presenting perspectives that dissolve any clear separation between the two.

Participating artists: Bas Jan Ader, John Bock, Stephen Brandes, Nina Canell, Hugh Charde, Adam Chodzko, David Claerbout, Clodagh Emoe, Patrick Feehan, Cyprian Gaillard, Marine Hugonnier, Paul Henry, James Ireland, Sven Johne, Joseph Malachy Kavanagh, William Magrath, Dara McGrath, Frank McKelvey, David Muirhead, William Mulready, Dermot O'Brien, Olaf Quantius, Rachel Reupke, Xavier Ribas, Daniel Roth, George Russell, Walter Westley Russell, Johan Thurfjell, Richard T Walker, Richard Wilson.
