Roseanne Lynch – Forgettings’ Trace

By John J. Smyth 27. Jan 202027. Mar 2020

The artist's exhibition is currently running at the Irish Embassy on Jägerstraße until March 20th. Opening hours Monday through Friday, 10:00 to 12:30 and again from 14:30 to 16:00.

The Embassy of Ireland and Centre Cultural Irlandais Paris present a new body of work from Irish artist Roseanne Lynch. The work stems from her three month residency at The Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau in 2018.

Lynch’s starting point was an exploration of Modernist architecture, which she then moved away from to focus the teachings of the Bauhaus Vorkurs – the primary course undertaken by students at the Bauhaus School of Design, Architecture and Applied Arts. The course’ main aim was to encourage consideration of materiality by experimenting with basic forms, repetition and and rigour to study space and surface. Rather than creating images of architectural structures, Roseanne decided to work with fundamental forms – the square, the circle, the triangle and the straight line.
