Documentation of Exhibition Programme | TULCA 2024

TULCA Festival of Visual Arts is pleased to share the public outcomes and online documentation of its 2024 programme, The Salvage Agency curated by Michele Horrigan.

The 22nd edition of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts embedded itself in multiple venues and locations throughout Galway city and county in November 2024, accompanied by an extensive public programme and publication. Entitled The Salvage Agency, curator Michele Horrigan welcomed artistic proposals and artwork submissions that considered the agency and role of art in contemporary ecology and environmental study, as well as those that examine the underlying attitudes that have led to the critical and urgent impasse of our time.

The festival programme featured new commissions, artistic contributions, and exhibitions by Seanie Barron, David Beattie, Stephen Brandes, John Carson, Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty, Michelle Doyle and Cóilín O’Connell, Bryony Dunne, Peter Fend and Finn Van Gelderen, Regina José Galindo, Léann Herlihy, Michael Holly, Patrick Hough, Joan Jonas, Catriona Leahy, Julie Morrissy, Áine Phillips, Jorge Satorre, Niamh Schmidtke, Temporary Services, Half Letter Press, Breakdown Break Down Press, Public Collectors, Lily Van Oost, and Stuart Whipps.
