Artist Talk: Jorge Satorre
17 May 2025, 12pm
Further Information
To coincide with National Drawing Day, exhibiting artist Jorge Satorre and Programme Curator Michael Hill will give a short exhibition tour and conversation about his current exhibition Did I say I miss you?
Jorge Satorre unearths and reinforces overlooked values and practices in craft, storytelling and skilled labour. Sometimes from situations and places with a colonial past where these modes of connection, interpretation and inheritance have survived—or have been morphed by—periods of oppression. In all forms of making, Satorre celebrates the flourishes of wit, beauty and ingenuity that break free from tradition and standardisation alike. His own work follows this ideology, whether it is a detailed pencil drawing, heavy-duty casting, forging, or feat of structural engineering. Satorre connects impersonal industrial activity with that of nature and intimacy, where all elements function (or resist function) in some form of equity.
Jorge Satorre’s solo exhibitions include Museo CA2M, Madrid (2025); CRAC Alsace, Altkirch (2021); CarrerasMugica, Bilbao (2020); REDCAT, Los Angeles (2018); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2017); LABOR, Mexico City (2017). Satorre has a long-standing connection with Ireland, participating in residencies in Askeaton Contemporary Arts (2014); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2007); Sherkin Island (2005); and exhibiting in TULCA, Galway (2024) and West Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen (2007).
This event coincides with National Drawing Day, an annual celebration of drawing and creativity and innitiative of the National Gallery of Ireland initiative is co-hosted by dozens of partner venues around the island of Ireland.
Event location Information: This event will be held in the ground floor gallery. The space will be in natural light with drawings and sculpture.
