Affective Forms

Luan Gallery presents a group exhibition, Affective Forms in February 2026, featuring newly commissioned and existing work by Tara Carroll, Sian Costello, Phelim Hoey, Aine O’ Hara, Day Magee, and Rajinder Singh. 

Affective Forms is a multidisciplinary group exhibition that explores evolving representations of the human body in contemporary Irish art through painting, photography, sculpture, and film.

Foregrounding the lived experiences of bodies often marginalised in mainstream visual culture, Affective Forms brings together works that rethink the human body not as an isolated or idealised figure, but as a relational, sensing, and meaning-making site, while examining the emotional and spatial connections between body and environment.

Affective Forms will take place from 10 February to 12 April 2026 and will be accompanied by an outreach  programme of activities. The official opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday 13th February at 6pm and all are welcome to attend.

Luan Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am–5pm, and Sunday, 12pm–5pm. Admission is free. Guided tours are available at no cost; groups are asked to book in advance. For further information, contact Luan Gallery at T: 090 6442154 or E: info@luangallery
