We're pleased to announce 'Ssh Ow', the first major solo exhibition in a UK public gallery in a decade by Dublin-based artist Jaki Irvine (b. 1966, Dublin).

Irvine uses video, installation, photography, music composition and writing to explore the complex ways we imagine ourselves and the world around us, a process which, for Irvine, has both philosophical and political implications. Overheard conversations and everyday incidents, casually observed, often form the starting point for Irvine’s work. She weaves these real events into fictions, making films and videos that reflect on the fragmented, mysterious and often absurd nature of the human condition.

'Ssh Ow' will present Irvine’s immersive thirteen-channel video installation, Ack Ro’ and a newly commissioned live work, 'SHWO EM TEH WAY OT GO HMOE', to be presented in the DLWP auditorium on 24 May 2025.
