A feast of visual art on display at TULCA Festival
Michele Horrigan; Star Wars Man, by Seanie Barron.
There is something admirably edgy about Galway’s TULCA Festival of Visual Arts running at this time of year, so close to the usual round of Christmas exhibitions. TULCA 2024 is curated by Michele Horrigan under the title The Salvage Agency, and features contemporary art of all kinds at various venues all over the city, including professional galleries, Galway University and a fishing tackle shop.
Alongside her activities as an artist and curator, Horrigan is the founder and director of Askeaton Contemporary Arts, which promotes residencies and exhibitions in Askeaton, Co Limerick. She is also the editor and publisher of ACA Public, and writes on art for publications such as Bomb Magazine. Her intention for The Salvage Agency was that it should consider the role of art in ecology and the environment.
