Visit Temple Bar Gallery + Studios on Culture Night to see artist Vanessa Donoso López’s solo art exhibition (O-O-O). Reflecting her experiences growing up in Barcelona and living in Ireland for over twenty years, Vanessa Donoso López’s practice explores identity, migration, and cultural behaviours shaped by relocation.

(O-O-O) is shorthand for object oriented ontologies, a metaphysical theory that places all entities: humans, animals, plants, objects, and ideas, and the components that they are made up of, as equal to one another, existing with their own agency and reality. The exhibition explores movement as a strategy for adaptation, resistance and transformation, bringing together many material processes including low-fired ceramics, natural pigments, water and living plants. The resulting immersive installation creates a sensitive ecosystem in a state of ongoing change.

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is an artists’ studio complex and contemporary art gallery in Dublin City Centre. The Gallery presents five exhibitions annually by Irish and international artists. This is supported by a programme of free talks, tours, screenings and workshops. We produce the annual Dublin Art Book Fair as a platform for artist books and independent publishers with an expansive events programme.

Vanessa Donoso López’s solo art exhibition (O-O-O) is open 24 July — 20 September 2026
