Karen Prendergast – The End and the Beginning
Karen Prendergast, widely regarded as one of leading Irish artists of her generation, exhibits from her work of the last eight years at the IMMA. She produces art that deals with issues such as the body, mapping, landscape, power, sexuality and identity. This exhibition is her first solo museum show, having previously exhibited in a group show at the Tate Gallery in London. One aspect of the exhibition is an ongoing project of transcribing in pencil the anatomy of every capital city in the world. Called ‘The City Drawings’, the IMMA has purchased it in its entirety.
