Drawing Day: Mapping Through Mark-Making workshop with artist Shane Malone-

This workshop invites participants to use drawing as a tool for noticing, sensing, and responding to the world differently rather than focusing on technical skill or representation. Through a series of guided exercises, including blind contour drawing, listening-based drawing, and making marks with unconventional tools and materials, this workshop will explore how movement, sound, touch, and attention can shape a drawing.

This is an adult workshop. Materials are provided. No drawing experience required just a curiosity about contemporary art. It is an opportunity to experiment, let go of expectations, and discover new ways of relating to place, perception, and the act of drawing.

Event location Information: This event will take place in a ground floor studio with artificial lighting; there is a semi accessible bathroom. For further accessibility information please contact Learning + Public Engagement Curator Órla Goodwin at [email protected] or phone 01-6710073 during office hours.

This event is hosted as part of the annual celebration of National Drawing Day, an initiative of the National Gallery of Ireland.

Shane Malone-Murphy’s art practice examines the histories of land use and ownership through the lens of grief, positioning grief as a catalyst for an urgent rethinking of our attachments to place and to one another. Working between sculpture and drawing, and using gathered materials such as glass, soot, ash, and clay, his works are often presented in states of transition. Objects lean, fabrics hang, one thing bears the weight of another. Shane Malone-Murphy is currently a studio artist at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is an artists’ studio complex and contemporary art gallery in Dublin City Centre. The Gallery presents five exhibitions annually of newly commissioned work by Irish and international artists. This is supported by a programme of free talks, tours, screenings and workshops. Artists are supported through affordable studio space and professional development opportunities. We produce the annual Dublin Art Book Fair as a platform for artist books and independent publishers with an expansive events programme.
