Temple Bar Gallery + Studios announces its 2024 exhibition programme. Five solo exhibitions take place throughout the year, by TBG+S Studio Artists, and Irish artists living outside of Ireland who have gained considerable international reputations. Two large off-site solo exhibitions will take place in summer 2024, at Dublin Port. Threads of connection across these distinct exhibitions hint at journeys, movement, displacement, and longing.
The exhibition programme is curated by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios Programme Curator Michael Hill (IKT Member) in close collaboration with the artists. Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is an artists’ studio complex and contemporary art gallery in Dublin, Ireland.

Anne Ryan: Tugann an Torann
January 12–March 10, 2024
Anne Ryan responds to the ebb and flow of city nightlife with paintings and cut-out cardboard constructions that break free from the gallery walls. Expressing layers of her own identity, Ryan depicts singers, dancers and crowds from musical subcultures that merge in a throng of bodies, and wild west horseback riders and stagecoaches that complicate the story of Irish diaspora.
Lisa Freeman: Approx 1 Second of a Sweet Kiss
March 22–May 19, 2024
Lisa Freeman’s new film follows a young woman as she makes her way through an unfamiliar city. The film includes sequences of intricately choreographed movement and disorientating spoken exchanges, which activate a surreal psychological experience. Approx 1 Second of a Sweet Kiss was originally commissioned by aemi and Sirius Art Centre. It premiered at Cork International Film Festival (2023) and will be presented in a new deconstructed version for the gallery installation setting.
TBG+S at Dublin Port: Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home
July 4–October 27, 2024
TBG+S is partnering with Dublin Port Company on two simultaneous off-site solo exhibitions by Yuri Pattison and Liliane Puthod that celebrate the link between the city and the port industrial heritage zone. Offering points of connection between geographic, economic and technical networks, the exhibitions use the transitory symbolism of rivers and seas to describe the flow of time and memory.
Yuri Pattison: dream sequence
Yuri Pattison’s dream sequence is a cinematic generative video that follows the flow of an imagined river from mountain stream to seaport metropolis as its narrative. The river takes a central role as a carrier of measurable data, while ‘real world’ data monitored from local water and air directly influences the visual and audio elements of the exhibition, making each viewing unique and ephemeral. dream sequence is co-commissioned by Urbane Künst Ruhr (UKR) and TBG+S. It was first exhibited as part of the
UKR’s Ruhr Ding: Schlaf (2023) supported by the Arts Council of Ireland Project Award.
Liliane Puthod: Beep Beep
Beep Beep consolidates Liliane Puthod’s research on handmade and mechanised production, commodity fetishism and the archaeology of consumerism. Puthod reanimates her father’s 1962 Renault 4, and documents its journey to Ireland in summer 2024. The customised car will be shown alongside an embellished shipping container that takes the form of an opened tomb, complete with hand and machine-made “grave goods” inspired by her father’s shed, the mechanic’s garage, the factory plant, and the artist’s studio.
Fergus Feehily
December 13, 2024–February 23, 2025
Fergus Feehily’s exhibition of new paintings evokes ideas of illumination through associations with places as far-reaching as the Irish megalithic site of Newgrange during solstice and the neon streets of Shinjuku, Japan. His work draws together a constellation of broad cultural connections from the edges and margins that develop through the exhibition and outwards into the city.
