Out of her shell

Amid-career retrospective of the work of Alice Maher, Becoming is hosted by the Irish Museum of Modern Art, in Dublin.

Maher is one of Ireland’s most respected artists, and the exhibition includes work from the past three decades.

Becoming is at Earlsfort Terrace, in the ground-floor exhibition spaces of the National Concert Hall, which IMMA is using as renovations continue at its premises in Kilmainham. Curated by Seán Kissane, Becoming showcases a large amount or work in a labyrinth of interconnected rooms. The works are lit theatrically by Pan Pan theatre company’s Aedín Cosgrove, giving the exhibition a heightened visual impact.
