Hugh Lane Culture Club

Tuesday 15 October, 2.30pm

Anne Cormican will lead a walkthrough of the exhibition Brian Maguire La Grande Illusion followed by tea /coffee and further discussion.

Entitled “La Grande Illusion” the exhibition is structured and distilled in ways that reveal how the artist has represented the fragility of human rights and how he has persistently responded to societal injustices and their legacies. Focusing on a period of intense productivity for the artist, 2007–2024, it appraises his activism in human rights and his efforts to document the shape-shifting nature of war with its far-reaching impact on the poor and our environment.
