Seeing Orange
Northern Irish
Artists’ Use of Orange Imagery
Millennium Court Arts Centre
6-30 July 2005
This exhibition will present contemporary Northern Irish artists who
utilise Orange imagery in their work. For hundreds of years artists have responded to their surroundings, particularly the political
and cultural landscape.
For decades in Northern Ireland artists have responded to the
imagery of the Orange Order and their accompanied activities. But
the use of this imagery in contemporary art underlines how invested
visual manifestations of ‘Orange’ culture are in our everyday lives
and landscape.
Exhibiting artists include Victor Sloan, Rita Duffy, Paul
Seawright, Dermot Seymour, Colin McGookin, Richard Farquhar, and
Chris Barr. The artists selected for this exhibition look at a
section of Northern Irish society in both an individual and general
way, commenting on the visual socio-political situation.
