Cian McLoughlin, 'Zero is an even number', 2024.
The Molesworth Gallery
9th November 2024 – Exhibition
CIAN MCLOUGHLIN: Zero is an even numberZero is an even number, Cian McLoughlin’s fifth solo show at The Molesworth Gallery, will be the culmination of a year-long collaboration between the artist and the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, where is currently artist-in-residence. Through a residency supported by Science Foundation Ireland, McLoughlin has immersed himself in a research environment at the intersection of artificial intelligence, deep neural networks, developmental psychology and neuroscience. This show will coincide with a series of lectures and in-conversation events featuring artists, educators and neuroscientists working at the crossroads of art and science.
McLoughlin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses traditional art materials and techniques with modern tools and technologies. Oil paint, pastels, and canvas are used in combination with CO2 laser cutters, 3D printers, graphics generators, and digital colour systems. He examines the transformative impact of technology on painting, creating visual scenarios where no single, valid interpretation exists, offering insights into the processes underlying perception and subjective experience. His work aims to understand humans as embodied, interdependent continua of psycho-physical processes and to provide a perspective on the challenge of being emotional creatures in a mathematical world.
Opening Night: Friday 8 November, 6pm.
