Memorandum

With Memorandum the Olivier Cornet Gallery purports to present an overview of all the shows that have taken place in its premises this year, revisiting 4 important solo shows: Symbols of Revival by Nickie Hayden, Springs Opens Forever In Eternity by Conrad Frankel, An ghaoth aniar/This too will pass by Eoin Mac Lochlainn, and Self Portrait with a Pet and a Bathtub by Daniel Lipstein. 

Other highlights will include works from our Bloomsday/Summer group show Out of Lines, an homage to the Art Déco period as we celebrated the centenary of the first Art Déco exhibition held in Paris in 1925. 

Last but not least, our Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025 group show Ode to Giant, also an homage, but this time, to favourite pieces held in 3 Dublin museums, will be well represented. 

A ‘souvenir’ exhibition as it were, but devoid of nostalgia and simply reaffirming the old adage that it’s good to look back when it can help us move forward…
