COVERAGE:
"Olivier Cornet has a knack for curating good thematic shows, allowing artists to affiliate their work to a subject – in this case climate change – without distorting their customary practices. Here he elicits thoughtful, nuanced responses from a number of fine artists including Jordi Fornies, Claire Halpin, Eoin Mac Lochlainn, Yanny Petters, Freda Rupp, Aisling Conroy, Vicky Smith and more."

On the 13th of December 2017, we were very pleased to hear that Professor Gerry Kearns, Human Geography, Department of Geography, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Kildare had used our exhibition '2° C' to give the final lecture to the students in the second-year Maynooth Geography class on Global Environmental Change.
The author, journalist, lecturer and cultural/environmental tour guide Paddy Woodworth reviewed the exhibition in the Outdoors section of the Irish Times' Weekend Review (page 7, Saturday 17 March 2018), following his participation in our WHAT on EARTH has ART got to Do with CLIMATE CHANGE?
panel discussion at the gallery on 7th March 2018. The article was titled What has art to do with climate change? The panel discussion at the gallery was filmed by the very talented Mike Coyne. You can watch it on our FILMS
page.
Some of the exhibits are still available for purchase, loan or touring in other venues in Ireland and abroad. Please contact us at info@oliviercornetgallery.com for more details.
