A new exhibition has opened in Void Gallery on Patrick Street in Derry which features the work of artist Anne Wenzel in Night Falls, Day Breaks is being shown for the first time in a solo exhibition in the UK and Ireland. The exhibition opened on Saturday 20th February and runs until 16th April 2016 in the gallery.
Opening the Void programme for 2016, the exhibition has a certain critical and thematic resonance with other cultural and civic activities which will take place this year in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland. Specifically, events which are part of what has been termed the ‘Decade of Centenaries’ that begins with the centenaries of the Easter Rising in Dublin and the WWW1 Battle of the Somme, both of which took place in 1916.
Wenzel is a German born artist who lives and works in The Netherlands. Negotiating a subversive position between tradition and modernity, the artist creates monumental ceramic sculptures and installations that are often placed in a specifically orchestrated setting.
