Botanicals

Located at the Vision Art Platform on Mortimer Street, this group exhibition features works by artists such as Ackroyd & Harvey, Benjamin Jones, Rosemary Laing, Wendy McMurdo, Eamon O’Kane, and Deirdre O’Mahony. Curated by Gary Sangster, the event approaches plants not merely as aesthetic objects, but as active forces that have influenced human civilization and continue to do so amidst modern technological and social shifts.

The exhibition utilizes diverse media, including drawing and moving images, to prompt reflection on the intersections of ecology, culture, and human intervention. While the title borrows from the industrial term for plant extracts, the show expands this concept into the realm of contemporary art to explore perception and the interconnectedness of the natural world. Admission is free, and the gallery operates Tuesday through Saturday.
