Olivier Cornet Gallery: Safe Harbour

This event has ended

Oliver Cornet Gallery, Sunday 9th April - Sunday 7th May

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present Nickie Hayden's second exhibition with us, this time in collaboration with Robert Russell.

Safe Harbour.

This exhibition is the culmination of four years of collaborative work by Nickie Hayden on the theme of sanctuary.
Nickie’s current work focuses on guidance to a safe place.

These paintings explore the idea of guidance in its purest form. Like the building of a lighthouse, guidance should be a benevolent and altruistic act offering clarity and illumination. Sometimes people are our beacons, and their guidance is enough to bring us safely to port.

Nickie has asked her partner Robert Russell to collaborate with her on this exploration.

Robert has made sculptures that explore the motivation to make the signal fire, beacon, or sentinel, and the forms that are shaped by the dangers they mitigate. The colours of the light elements of the sculptures are chosen for people’s associations with them rather than for their real function.

The exhibition will also be available in our 3D virtual space

Gaiety Theatre

Direct from London’s West End and the four-time smash-hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, Myra’s Story tells the unforgettable tale of a middle-aged homeless alcoholic struggling to survive on the streets of Dublin as she begs from passers-by on the famous Ha’penny Bridge. Written by Irish playwright Brian Foster and starring acclaimed actor Fíonna Hewitt-Twamley in her “vivid, virtuoso performance” (WhatsOnStage) as Myra who through her gripping performance plays a variety of larger-than-life Dublin characters, this turbulent piece explores the hilarious, tragic, and heart-wrenching ev
