Kerlin Gallery is a contemporary commercial art gallery in Dublin, Ireland.

History

Originally opened in 1988,[3] the gallery's current space was designed in 1994 by architect John Pawson.[4] It is located in central Dublin and has 3,600 square feet of gallery space spread over two floors.[4] In 2015, the Artnet website included the gallery in a list of "Europe’s Top 55 Galleries".[5] David Fitzgerald, Darragh Hogan, and John Kennedy are the gallery's directors.[6]

In 2018, the gallery donated a number of works to the Irish Museum of Modern Art.[2][7]

Selected exhibitions

Kerlin Gallery programs eight exhibitions annually, predominantly solo exhibitions by gallery artists with occasional curated group exhibitions and solo exhibitions by invited artists.[citation needed] Curated group exhibitions include Newfound Landscape (1998), with Uta Barth, Oliver Boberg, Walter Niedermayer, and Esko Manniko; Kin, with John Currin, Cheryl Donegan, Ellen Gallagher, and Sean Landers, and Architecture Schmarchitecture (2003) with Isa Genzken, Liam Gillick, Roger Hiorns, Jim Lambie, Sarah Moris, and Thomas Scheibitz.[8]

In 2019, the gallery organised Shadowplay with Willie Doherty, Aleana Egan, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, and Callum Innes.[9] The title is derived from the song of the same name on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album.[6] In 2021, it presented a solo exhibition by the influential conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner.[10]

Publications

The gallery has previously published exhibition catalogues and artist monographs.[citation needed] In 2023, it published monographs on the Welsh artist Merlin James and the Northern Irish painter William McKeown.[citation needed]
