Milestone year marks 30th anniversary
Building on the success of its 30th anniversary programme to date, South Tipperary Arts Centre (STAC) continues its milestone year with major exhibitions celebrating artist-led publishing, and contemporary painting, while also championing artists with strong connections to Tipperary.
Coracle, will open on September 12th and continue until October 24th, an exhibition exploring the remarkable legacy of Coracle, the influential small publishing press directed by writer, and artist, Erica Van Horn, and poet, artist, and editor, Simon Cutts.
Based in South Tipperary since 1996, Coracle has played a significant role in the development of artist-led publishing and the evolution of the artist's book as a distinct art form.
Drawing on an extensive archive of books and ephemera, the exhibition will examine Coracle's lasting impact on contemporary publishing and the book as an art object.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a newly commissioned text by Dr Julie Bates, alongside a programme of talks exploring Coracle's work and the wider field of artist-led publishing.
