Luke van Gelderen | Cruxx.Project

cruxx.project is a two step physical and digital airing of work shaped through COVID-19 by eight recently graduated artists from Dun Laoghaire Institute Of Art Design and Technology, and featuring our Graduate Award Residency recipient Luke van Gelderen. After the loss of their graduate showcase, cruxx.project aims to provide a platform in which to take a step back and re-imagine the experience of artwork in a post-covid world. Isolation has brought to light artists reliance on institutions and cruxx.project allows for an experience of a sense of possibility. The project acts a center point bringing together a network of artists, providing a situation where idea’s become centralised.

Further details on the project and its physical airing this coming Sunday at Rathmichael Ringfort can be found here.
