Pallas Heights is pleased to announce <<EME a major new solo project by Niamh McCann. McCann contributes to contemporary art on an Irish and an international platform.
<<<EME is the first project in a series of new works by McCann exploring the complexities of surface: creating hybrid visual emblems of protection, aggression and identity. This is an area of exploration with regards to image, word and text, and more specifically text and word as image. Presenting a graphic hybrid of international cultural signage - a visual language as distinct from the language of letters. The works at Pallas Heights look to the surface of this language, and the influence of particular cultural contexts, not because the substance is without depth but because the surface moulds the substance. The project uses the particular architecture of Pallas Heights as framework to parallel our assimilation of imagery to engage ones perception and form understanding.
