Kerlin Gallery is a commercial contemporary art gallery in Dublin, Ireland. Originally opened in 1988, it is located on Anne's Lane (off South Anne Street) in Dublin city centre.
History
[edit]Originally opened in 1988,[3] the gallery's current space was designed in 1994 by architect John Pawson.[4] It is located in central Dublin and has 3,600 square feet of gallery space spread over two floors.[4] In 2015, the Artnet website included the gallery in a list of "Europe’s Top 55 Galleries".[5] David Fitzgerald, Darragh Hogan, and John Kennedy are the gallery's directors.[6]
In 2018, the gallery donated a number of works to the Irish Museum of Modern Art.[2][7]
Selected exhibitions
[edit]Kerlin Gallery programs eight exhibitions annually, predominantly solo exhibitions by gallery artists with occasional curated group exhibitions and solo exhibitions by invited artists.[8] In some cases, the gallery has presented multiple solo exhibitions by the same artist. These have included Sean Scully (seven times since 1994),[9] Dorothy Cross (nine times since 1990),[10] Mark Francis (ten times since 1995),[11] Willie Doherty (ten times since 1995),[12] and Elizabeth Magill (eight times since 1989).[13] The gallery also takes on new artists, and presented its first solo exhibitions by Ailbhe Ní Bhriain in 2023,[14] Nathalie Du Pasquier and Zhou Li in 2022,[15][16] and Gerard Byrne in 2018.[17]
Curated group exhibitions have included "HERE COMES LOVE" (2023),[8] "Face to Face" (2018) (curated by Hendrik Driesson, founding director of De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art),[18] "Architecture Schmarchitecture" (2003) (with Isa Genzken, Liam Gillick, Roger Hiorns, Jim Lambie, Sarah Morris and Thomas Scheibitz),[19] and "Newfound Landscape" (1998) (with Uta Barth, Oliver Boberg, Walter Niedermayer, and Esko Manniko).[citation needed] In 2019, the gallery organised Shadowplay with Willie Doherty, Aleana Egan, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, and Callum Innes.[20] The title is derived from the song of the same name on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album.[6]
In 2021, it presented a solo exhibition by the conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner.[21] Other invited artists, exhibited at the gallery, have included Andy Warhol, Hiroshi Sugimoto,[22] Richard Hamilton, Francesco Clemente, Martin Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen and A.R. Penck.[23]

[edit]The gallery is involved in publishing artist publications, including monographs on the Welsh artist Merlin James[24] and the Northern Irish painter William McKeown in 2023,[25] the Irish artist Isabel Nolan in 2020,[26] and the Irish painter Brian Maguire in 2018.[27]
