Orla Barry: The Collie, The Cheviot & The Crouched Skeleton | Friday 10 July – Saturday 26 September 2026 | Rua Red | black-and-white photo of three collies (?) in an installation that seems to be parodying, maybe, a rural scene; one dog is on the ground (a fake ground of some sort?) to the left, the second on a cushion on a fairly modern, utilitarian chair, and the third is on the right, again on the ground; the background is a stone wall of stones large and small with, above the middle dog, writing on a large stone that reads ‘Donie’s Language’

Siobhán McGibbon et al.: Love beyond the species and the sexual | Saturday 25 July – Saturday 19 September 2026 | Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre | photo of a fairly domestic scene – cushion of the sort that you might find on a sofa, patterned with images of flowers (roses), underneath it a blanket of the older, raspy sort, pink-trimmed; something that looks like a pale-blue leaf intrudes from the left; and on the cusion there is lying, slightly floppy, what seems to be a fabric or plastic TV remote control

John Noel Smith: Earth Solace & Blight | Thursday 20 August – Saturday 19 September 2026 | The LAB | The image is of a painting, presumably; approximately the top three-quarters of the image is almost entirely a single dark-blue line weaving back and forth from left to right across the support, initially just flat, but becoming more wave-like half-way down, then slowly reverting to flat; water-like, somewhat; then the bottom 20% is entirely different: a bit like bockety steel pipes criss-crossing each other against a mustard background

Dublin Fringe Festival: Ella de Búrca: Hard Mouth Show & Tell | Wednesday 16 September – Sunday 20 September 2026 | Temple Bar Gallery + Studios | photographic collage, probably; we are in some sort of fairyland / magic land; towards the viewer, a figure is on hands and knees, well dressed, looking upwards to our left, wearing a muzzle probably suitable for a horse; burther back, a long-black-haired figure is, very probably, an artist, as they are wearig what could be a painter’s smock and holding a large paintbrush in the right hand, though the left hand is hold reins that control the poor aforementioned creature
