Aoife Merrigan created a site specific artwork in the exhibition space of G126 using elastic cord and other simple materials. The sculptural installation interacted with the space creating an artwork unique to the gallery. The artists practice seeks to question the notion of value through the use of basic materials and focuses on the exploring the exhibition space often highlighting the aspects within a gallery space which are often overlooked such as fittings and fixtures. A/Void is part of an investigative process to explore use of space and the possibility of transforming the functional into the aesthetic.
Aoife Merrigan recently completed a BA (Hons) Fine Art in IADT, Dun Laoghaire . She is co-founder and member of art collective Moxie Dublin . Recent group exhibitions include 'Without a Parachute', The Back Loft, and 'Launch/ Making Do' in The Lab.
