Art and the environment is the focus of Idir Sholas, the MA graduate exhibition at Uilinn, the West Cork Arts Centre in Skibbereen until March 26. With a diverse range of media the exhibition showcases the work of graduates of the first masters degree to be located in west Cork – Deirdre Archbold, Ann Burns, Guy Dalton, Sinéad McCormick, Sylwia Migdal, Katie Nolan and Ruairí Ó Donnabháin. This innovative masters degree makes the relationship between arts and environments – ecological, spatial, political, economic – the focus of its study. It has extended a range of creative opportunities for islanders and the broader West Cork community. The exhibition represents the journey made by students who have been actively involved in contemporary culture as organisers, makers and commentators over the past 17 months.
