| Gerard Byrne will take part in History Acts, a group exhibition at the Göteborgs Konsthall, Sweden. |
| Date: |
25 October 2008 - 11 January 2009 |
| Venue: |
Göteborgs Konsthall, Gotaplatsen, Goteborg |
| Notes: |
"History Acts” aims to serve as intermediary in conducting an overall examination of history, doing so by study of accounts based on documents, artefacts, and fiction. The exhibition does not attempt to treat history as a uniform concept but rather as a multitude of reports dealing with past time and examining how far it is possible – from the evidence they give – to predict anything about the future. The exhibition’s aim is to present works of art all of which illustrate a kind of archaeological approach, an in-depth examination of a single site, event or the memories of a single individual. All the artworks on show have their roots in a social reality, even if that specific reality may very well be itself a fiction or construct."

| ‘Northern Stars and Southern Lights: The Golden Age of Finnish Art 1870-1920’ |
| Date: |
8 November 2008 – 1 February 2009 |
| Venue: |
National Gallery of Ireland, Merrion Square West & Clare Street, Dublin 2 |
| Notes: |
The National Gallery of Ireland presents an exhibition on one of the treasures of Northern European art – Finnish painting and printmaking of the turn of the nineteenth century. Celebrating the highpoint of Finnish art, when the country was still a Grand Duchy of Russia, the exhibition will feature some 75 works which show a mix of native influences with international styles. Finnish landscape painting will be represented by, among others, Eero Järnefelt (1863-1937), and Väinö Blomstedt (1871-1947), who captured the country’s distinctive forests, lakes and rivers in a uniquely heroic and symbolic manner. The exhibition will demonstrate how artists depicted legends and myths, with a particular emphasis on the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. It will also present an overview of the various trends of early twentieth-century Modernism in Finland, including works from the Septem Group and the November Group. The exhibition is organised in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki. www.nationalgallery.ie (0)1 661 5133 |

| ‘Hugh Douglas Hamilton (1740-1808): A Life in Pictures’ |
| Date: |
22 November 2008 – 15 February 2009 |
| Venue: |
National Gallery of Ireland,Merrion Square West & Clare Street, Dublin 2 |
| Notes: |
Born in Dublin in 1740, Hugh Douglas Hamilton is acknowledged as one of the most accomplished portraitists of his generation. His exquisitely delicate portrait ovals in pastel made his name in Dublin. Hamilton later moved to London where the fashionable set flocked to have their likeness recorded by the gregarious young artist. Being ambitious, Hamilton travelled to Italy where he made portraits of wealthy English and Irish travellers on their obligatory ‘grand tour’. During his years in Italy he cultivated lasting friendships with prominent artists in Rome including the sculptor Antonio Canova. It was during this period in Italy that Hamilton began to paint in oils and his work became bolder in style and scale. This exhibition celebrates his long and varied career with works drawn from the Gallery’s collection together with loans from public and private collections, featuring full length portraits, magnificent allegorical paintings, albums, prints, and his trademark oval pastel portraits. www.nationalgallery.ie (0)1 661 5133 |
