Maggie Madden Opens 'Fading not Ending' At The Roscommon Arts Centre, 7/9

The Roscommon Arts Centre presents 'Fading not Ending' by Maggie Madden from July 9th to August 5th.

Dublin-based artist Maggie Madden, will open her new solo exhibition entitled ‘Fading not Ending' at Roscommon Arts Centre on Friday 9th July, 5.30pm - 7.00pm. All are welcome to this exhibition where the public can meet the artist, have a glass of wine and view the pieces. The exhibition will continue until 5th August and members of the public are welcome to call into the gallery during centre opening hours. Maggie Madden has a preference for time-consuming and intricate processes creating works that reflect on the relationships between urban and rural landscapes. The objects born of these processes are crafted out of discarded and humble materials and often have a fragility that teeters on the brink of collapse. These detailed constructions have the potential for endless expansion, to grow outward from densely ordered space and continue boundlessly. In the works there are open ended references to our networked world, communication and transport systems, infrastructures of contemporary life in modern cities.

A wide range of accumulated materials and fragments are transformed through simple yet careful tasks of cutting and gluing. Scale plays an important role in the work in trying to capture vastness in the delicately minute. A Lilliputian sense of scale sometimes brings a playful nature to the work.

Originally from Connemara, Maggie now lives and works in Dublin. She studied Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design and received an MFA from NCAD in 2006. Recent exhibitions include Light and Dark, Cake Contemporary Arts, 2010, Preponderance of the Small, Off Site Gallery 3 project, Douglas Hyde Gallery, 2009, Make, Shift and Bend, CGP London. In 2008 she participated in Triangle Arts International Workshop, New York. 'Fading not Ending' is her first solo exhibition. www.roscommonartscentre.ie
