In association with the Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios presents an artist talk with representatives of Ireland at Venice, Eva Rothschild (2019) and Niamh O'Malley (2022). The conversation, mediated by Kate Strain of Kunstverein Aughrim, reflects on their exhibitions for the Irish Pavilion as Ireland’s representatives of the 58th and 59th La Biennale di Venezia.

Eva Rothschild was born in Dublin and lives and works in London. She represented Ireland at the 58th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy, with The Shrinking Universe (2019), and presented for the Irish tour at Visual Carlow (2020), and at Void, Derry (2021).
