Between Art and Industry offers an opportunity to explore the shifting relationships between craft and industry through the use of objects, imagery and sound.
With the advent of globalisation, methods of manufacturing have shifted dramatically. Outsourcing of labour to other countries has resulted in decline of industrial manufacturing in Ireland and the UK. This exhibition reflects on those trends, on their consequences and costs, and on the potential for sustainable, highly skilled small-scale production to offer a new model. It looks to examine the shifting values that suggest the evolution of manufacturing now is towards a closer relationship with craft and the handmade. The exhibition features three different viewpoints from Róisín de Buitléar glass artist, Neil Brownsword ceramist, and Molloy and sons, weavers.
