TULCA Festival of Visual Arts would like to extend its utmost gratitude to everyone involved in the inaugural exhibition of the UnSelfing Programme, DEEP STATES, commissioned by Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture.
A huge thank you to curator Helen Carey and artists Dominic Thorpe, Veronika Merklein, Andrej Mircev, Nikoleta Markovic and Eunseo Yi for their adaptability and resilience throughout a period of great uncertainty. It was a huge relief to reopen DEEP STATES again after 20 weeks behind closed doors and we thank everyone who managed to visit the exhibition in Nuns Island Theatre.
We were very grateful for all the help and support we received from the Galway Arts Centre as we prepared to reopen to the public once again. A special thank you to Siobhan Singleton and Tara O’Connor for all their hard work and support behind the scenes. A massive thank you to the excellent TULCA gallery team led by Mary McGraw and the dedicated crew of Wave Maker volunteers co-ordinated by Elena Toniato.
2020 has proved an exceptionally challenging year to date but the dedication and resolve of our team, board of directors, cultural partners and funders have helped enormously. At a time when we need the arts more than ever to open up spaces of reflection, TULCA is excited to look forward to the second iteration of the UnSelfing Programme, THREADS, curated by Sarah Searson in The Dock Arts Centre in October, before returning to Galway in November for this year's TULCA 2020: THE LAW IS A WHITE DOG curated by Sarah Browne.
Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming weeks, including further updates on our UnSelfing Programme for Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture.
