Ciarán Walsh

° 1980

Born in IE, lives in Berlin (DE).

Ciarán Walsh takes a multimedia approach in his art practice, encompassing installation, written text, video and photography, and primarily utilises strategies of communication breakdown, failure and interruption to explore both personal and collective memory, actual and notional space, and the presence and absence of the body. He has had several solo exhibitions and taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (IRL), Kunsthalle Bratislava (SK), VISUAL – National Centre for Contemporary Art, Carlow (IRL), MAGO, Eisdvoll, (NO), Stedefreund, Berlin (DE), Project Arts Centre, Dublin (IRL), Mother’s Tankstation, Dublin (IRL). He has also curated several public art commissions, co-curated the ‘Reading Room’ archival project, and published the art-zine ‘Travelogue’. He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
