County Council to host exhibition of Peter Nash’s work

An exhibition of work by artist Peter Nash will be on display by Cork County Council over the coming months.

‘All This For Nothing’ opens on Friday, January 9, and runs until February 27 at LHQ Gallery.

In his solo show, Mr Nash explores the pre internet sources of knowledge and methods of communication. The work also looks at contemporary systems of digital communication and machine learning. The exhibition explores concepts including digital exclusion and polarisation of debate.

Mechanical bird sculptures call out to each other across the gallery, establishing territories and communicating through a tangle of wires and electronic circuitry.

The Mayor of the county of Cork Mary Linehan Foley said: “His work is a commentary on our reliance on modern technology and brings to life animatrons and other pieces that don’t have productivity at their core. He asks the question, what is all of this technology for? I encourage all to visit the exhibition at LHQ Gallery.”

The opening reception of Mr Nash’s exhibition will take place on January 9 from 6pm.

LHQ Gallery is open Monday to Friday 9am-5.30pm, except for public holidays.
