Dublin Gallery Weekend | Temporary Address

Opening Hours: Thurs–Sat: 11am–6pm, Sun: 12–4pm

Following their presentation at SWAB Barcelona Art Fair, Temporary Address will present new works by Luke van Gelderen, Frances Hennigan, and Lana May Fleming. Each artist investigates how identity is constructed and performed online, examining the frictions between authentic self-presentation, gender, and performative activism. Through sculpture, print, and painting, the works employ appropriation, anthropomorphism, and the language of public relations to expose the conflicting pressures and contradictions individuals face as they construct their identities within the platform economy.

The presentation introduces Temporary Address, including a screening programme of selected video works with light refreshments, and an in-conversation with Temporary Address and researcher Maeve Connolly.

Temporary Address is a nomadic gallery based between Dublin and Cologne, supporting early-career artists through exhibitions and collaborative projects across Ireland and Europe. Founded in 2020 under the name CRUX, the gallery previously operated as an artist-run collective established by Luke van Gelderen, Frances Hennigan, and Lana May Fleming. Recent projects include: SWAB Independent Art Fair, Barcelona (2026), Real, B63, Witten, in collaboration with Kulturforum Witten (2024), Periodical Review 11 at Pallas Projects/Studios (2021), crux.project at Rathmichael Ringfort, Dublin (2020).

Frances Hennigan is a visual artist based between Roscommon and Essen, DE. Drawing on celebrity culture, internet subcultures and performative activism, her practice examines how gestures, fashion, and emotional slogans give rise to collective fantasies and self-mythologisation. Her work centres on the moment when codified aesthetics cease to represent belief and begin producing it, approaching fandom, activism and radicalisation as different symptoms of a shared desire to disappear into something larger than oneself. Recent exhibitions include: Afterimages, Märkisches Museum, Witten, DE (2026); The Story Writes Itself, Märkisches Museum, Witten, DE (2026); Mimikry, Neuland Projektraum, Bochum, DE (2025); DOXSRUHR, Zanke, Bochum, DE (2025); I feel how my eye turns, Ballyshannon Arts Centre, Donegal, IRE, (2025); Real, B63, Witten, DE (2024).

Luke van Gelderen is an artist and filmmaker based between Dublin and Berlin. His practice encompasses film, sculpture and installation employing appropriation and found materials to investigate contemporary online identity. His work constructs immersive environments that interweave themes of trauma, adolescence, authenticity, and performance, exploring how contemporary subjectivity is shaped by increasingly unstable social, technological, and environmental contexts. Recent exhibitions and screenings include: Arca Futuris, Hamburg (2026); Callie’s, Berlin (2026); Photo Museum Ireland (2026); FACT, Liverpool (2026); PAF Olomouc (2025); Irish Museum of Modern Art (2025); TRIBECA Gallery, NYC (2025); SEAGER, London (2025); Transmediale, Berlin (2024); Palazzo Bronzo, Genoa (2024); Kunsthaus Zurich (2024); Kasseler Dokfest (2024); and Pallas Projects/Studios, Dublin (2024).

Lana May Fleming is a visual artist based in Dublin, her multidisciplinary practice examines the societal pressures that drive individuals to physically and digitally alter their bodies. Utilising performance through video the work explores themes of identity, autonomy and the impact of ever evolving beauty standards.
