Kerlin Gallery is a contemporary commercial art gallery in Dublin, Ireland.

History

Originally opened in 1988,[3] the gallery's current space was designed in 1994 by architect John Pawson.[4] It is located in central Dublin and has 3,600 square feet of gallery space spread over two floors.[4] In 2015, the Artnet website included the gallery in a list of "Europe’s Top 55 Galleries".[5] David Fitzgerald, Darragh Hogan, and John Kennedy are the gallery's directors.[6]

Several artists who exhibit at the gallery have been shortlisted for the Turner Prize. These include Phil Collins (2006),[7] Willie Doherty (1994, 2003),[8] Liam Gillick (2002), Callum Innes (1995), Stephen McKenna (1986) and Sean Scully (1989, 1993).[9] The gallery has also supported artists exhibiting at the Venice Biennale including Dorothy Cross,[10] Willie Doherty, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, Jaki Irvine, Merlin James, William McKeown,[11] Isabel Nolan, and Kathy Prendergast (winner of the Premio Nuovo Award 1995).[citation needed]

Other artists represented by the gallery have included Gerard Byrne, Aleana Egan, Maureen Gallace, Guggi,[12] Siobhán Hapaska,[13] Stephen McKenna,[13] and Paul Seawright.[14]

In 2018, the gallery donated a number of works to the Irish Museum of Modern Art.[2][15]

Selected exhibitions

The gallery has produced solo shows from artists like Liam Gillick, Willie Doherty, Siobhán Hapaska, Phil Collins, Mark Francis, Jaki Irvine, Elizabeth Magill, Sean Scully and Paul Winstanley.[16]

Curated group exhibitions include Newfound Landscape (1998), with Uta Barth, Oliver Boberg, Walter Niedermayer, and Esko Manniko; Kin, with John Currin, Cheryl Donegan, Ellen Gallagher, and Sean Landers, and Architecture Schmarchitecture (2003) with Isa Genzken, Liam Gillick, Roger Hiorns, Jim Lambie, Sarah Moris, and Thomas Scheibitz.[17]

In 2019, the gallery organised Shadowplay with Willie Doherty, Aleana Egan, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, and Callum Innes.[18] The title is derived from the song of the same name on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album.[6]
