ALAN PHELAN
Dublin-based artist Alan Phelan works across sculpture, photography, film, public art and installation. His work is currently featured in In Minor Keys, the 61st Venice Biennale, and has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Hugh Lane and institutions throughout Europe and internationally.
His practice draws together personal, queer, technological and political histories, often reworking overlooked cultural fragments through images, objects, materials and display.
RÓNÁN McCALL
Rónán McCall is a Dublin based Irish photographer whose practice spans long-term documentary, somatic image-making and large format vernacular studies. Working entirely on analogue processes, he hand-prints all work in his own darkroom.
His projects excavate the buried wounds of Irish institutional history, the disappearing culture of the western islands, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma through the body. His work reaches beneath the political into the mythic and pre-Christian substrata of Irish consciousness that colonisation obscured but never extinguished. His debut monograph will be published in 2027 by Stanley Barker, London.
BRINKS HELM
Cork City-based brinks helm produces artworks and situations that can act as sites of convergence, where original contexts collide, coalesce, and generate alternate readings. Working across installation, video/sound/music, written word, drawing, object making, scanning/digital image making and print, brinks helm approach art as a cartography of the collective unconscious maintaining an openness to the outside, their work both sucking in and leaking out into the external world, plugging into pre-existing networks, spinning new webs of associations, and conjoining lines of force between ostensibly disparate references, sources and themes to generate fresh narratives and map occluded connections.
JEREMY PLINT
Jeremy Plint is a visual artist based between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Working across painting, installation and textiles, their material and process-driven practice examines constructs around death, belonging and family through a Queer lens. Recent projects include the solo installation Monolith at Metro Arts (2024) and an artist residency at Queensland Children’s Hospital (2025).
