The Gleaners Society
Ormston House is delighted to host EVA International鈥檚 guest programme The Gleaners Society curated by Sebastian Cichocki. Taking place across seventeen sites in Limerick City, Ormston House serves as 鈥渁n entry portal to The Gleaners Society鈥� 鈥� Sebastian Cichocki.
Curated by Sebastian Cichocki, the Guest Programme of the 40th EVA International takes its thematic basis on the idea and practice of gleaning 鈥� a term that traditionally refers to the act of collecting leftover crops following a harvest. The Gleaners Society extends this reference in a multiple of ways, alternately serving as an artistic subject, a political metaphor, and a curatorial methodology to explore and propose art鈥檚 relationship to society. Featuring over 45 presentations by Irish and international artists and collectives, The Gleaners Society will unfold across a set of uniquely diverse venues in Limerick city (civic arts institutions, a primary school, a Cathedral, and a vegetarian cafe, among others).
鈥淐onvening the programme, I focused mainly on practices of artists engaged in generating social change and focused on daily chores, often unheroic and unspectacular and not always resulting in a tangible work of art. EVA International is a unique exhibition environment where such experiments are possible鈥� 鈥� Sebastian Cichocki
Artists exhibiting at Ormston House are John Carson, Jeamin Cha, Olga Mici艅ska with Mathild Clerc-Verhoeven, L茅ann Herlihy, Janet Mullarney, Teresa Murak, Rory Pilgrim, Slavs and Tatars & Leah Feldman, and Thomond Primary School Gardening Club in collaboration with Deirdre O鈥橫ahony and Hometree.
