Time & Time Again, the Hugh Lane Gallery’s first-ever student-curated art exhibition-9 Naoise Culhane Naoise Culhane

Pictured are Amelia White, James Diana, and Carly Gavin – just three of the eleven transition year students from Dublin who were involved in the curation of Time & Time Again, the Hugh Lane Gallery’s first-ever student-curated art exhibition which has just opened in Dublin.

Time & Time Again is described as a thought-provoking exhibition that explores the themes that define growing up.

The students have chosen works from the gallery’s permanent collection spanning more than 100 years; featured artists include Harry Clarke, Diana Copperwhite, Brian Maguire, Louis le Brocquy, Rita Duffy, George William Russell, Willie Doherty, and Alice Maher.

Over the course of three months, the student group were led by Fulbright Scholar Allison Carey to learn about curatorial practice within the gallery.

Admission to Time & Time Again is free and the exhibition runs until 22 September.

    Anyone else noticing how mainstream media are doing their best to bury..excuse the pun.. the Trump assassination story and especially his heroic and defiant response? Also his major victory in court the other day has been largely ignored, there’s a surprise! So very predictable!

    @Mick Hanna:
    Yeah,he arranged for a sniper to nick his ear with a bullet in the hope it would boost his poll ratings! Compare and contrast Trumps epic response within seconds of assassination attempt with poor old Joe dithering around the place trying to remember what day of the week it is! Sad,so sad!

    @Jonn: Bury that news article? I don’t know what news outlets you’ve been looking at but it’s been non-stop, especially with the RNC clown-show being on since.

    The Shinners are at it again trying to get votes and points on the polls…. Now they want to increase the inheritance tax rate by 3% to bring it up to 36%… Shocking . People work all their lives, pay tax on everything, then die and leave their home and savings to their loved ones, and then the loved ones have to pay tax again on their inheritance…

    There’s a large Muslim population in Coolock, fair play, I didn’t know that! Fair play to them wearing the hijab! Don’t agree with them throwing rocks at Gards!

    “There are small minorities that are trying to exploit the frustration and fears that many communities face and it’s important that we actually get in there and listen to them and have proper dialogue and consultation with them,” he said.
    Just don’t advocate for open borders will stop these fears. They become another woke party where they were the one presenting everywhere as nationalists
