A, B, C Behind The Scenes
The project A, B, C Behind the Scenes by the artist Gabriel Lester consists of different spatial installations around the entrance area of the Lewis Glucksman Gallery. For this project, Lester uses locations in and around the gallery which are not designed first and foremost for exhibitions and makes the side-character of the areas the subject of the installation. As the title suggests, Lester creates the sense of being backstage on a theatre or film set but the narrative connection between the three parts of the installation is enigmatic. Glucksman Gallery, UCC, Cork.

Paula Rego: Graphic Work from the Jane Eyre and Children¹s Crusade series
According to writer Marina Warner ³Girlhood and its appetites have inspired Paula Rego's picture making for over 30 years². Rego is a painter of stories, her characters enact a variety of roles and depict disquieting tensions below the surface. Her images often hint at the darker side of childhood and the imagination, making the exhibition a fascinating counterpoint to ŒThrough the Looking Glass¹. Glucksman Gallery, UCC, Cork.

Matt Lamb
³We can recognize the people and events in these paintings of the Gospel stories, but the overriding sense of narration in the paintings is much more emotive than literary. Lamb says to see these paintings, we must look through the eyes of a child with simplistic loveŠ In adopting a childlike style in his work, Lamb can imbue the Gospel stories with his own personal resonanceŠLamb is a story teller and, in the tradition of mythic storytelling, he embellishes the basic skeletal form of the tale he inherits. It is this embellishment that allows the receivers of the story to in turn make in their own². Maria Walsh, Art Historian. St. Fin Barres Cathedral.
