Hugh Lane Gallery
b. 1972, Mullingar, Ireland.
Research-driven and multifacteed, Mary Garry’s practice is concerned with the cultural, physiological, associataive and perceptive characteristics that shape our understanding of the world and the subjectivity inherent in our negotiation of defined space. Garry integrates diverse media, apparatus and exhibition making strategies, often combined in a singular exhibition situation to form installations. These delicately considered, site-specific installations are measured and quiet, requiring meticulous systems of construction. They combine physical, visual, sensory and empathetic analogues, creating arrangements of elements that intersect the space and form relationships between a given room and each other. Although there are formal and aesthetic commonalities, each exhibition opportunity responds to a new set of conceptual criteria. This approach enables situations that are at once empathetic and spectacular, foregrounding the poetic over the didactic.

We Cast Shadows
12 July – 24 August 2014
City Gallery at Waterfront Park, Charleston SC
The City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs presents We Cast Shadows; New Work by Mark Garry. The artist will transform the exhibition space with an installation of new works and ephemera created for the site. Utilizing a variety of media and mechanisms, Garry's delicately considered works are measured and quiet, requiring meticulous systems of construction. Combining physical, visual and sensory analogues, the installation arranges elements that intersect the space and form relationships between a given room and each other, creating a situation that is at once empathetic and spectacular.

Circa
We are told this exhibition deals with the examination of the disparate nature and frequency of life, something immediately evident in the eclectic nature of the artists involved. Hayley Tompkins examines the minutiae of life through a suite of delicate, subtle works that take time to examine. By contrast, Mark Garry and Pádraig Timoney play by their own rules, extravagantly moulding life about them. Curator Michael Dempsey taps into the multi-frequency of art today, contrasting it against the canonical, singular resolve of the art institution.

ANOTHER PLACE is Mark Garry’s first solo show at the Kerlin Gallery, although he has exhibited often and widely, and his presence has been otherwise evident across a range of cultural activities. He sees the variety of his endeavours as forming part of one overall practice, rather than being a series of potential alternatives
