Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane: Artist's Takeover: Renata Pekowska
For the Hugh Lane Gallery's Artist's Takeover page I chose to limit the volume of text and combine it with images in order to create a short visual essay, based around a single idea: the thoughts and musings on and around the 'roundness' of compositions and things.

Publication Scaffold 22-23 November 2019, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin
Renata Pekowska presents a 'Dialogue between Dublin streets and an artist's book'
Inspired by the dialogues of 19th century Italian poet and philosopher Giacomo Leopardi, Renata Pękowska’s performance imagines a casual exchange of views between disgruntled Dublin streets and an artists’s book caught in the midst of an identity crisis.
Attention-seeking utterances end up as a series of monologues and allude to books that are more than the sum of their pages, as well as their value as tactical encounters, and the role of city structures as message bearers.

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios presents Publication Scaffold, a series of events, performances, installations
and discussions held during 2019’s Dublin Art Book Fair. Publication Scaffold finds practical and
metaphorical ways of envisaging the process of publishing. It points to books not solely as objects, but as
conversation and encounter, as discursive notions surrounding their own existence. Pages turn, words are
uttered, platforms for communal discovery emerge. Juxtaposition and serendipity are fundamental to these
investigations, leading to new ways of thinking about the portable, malleable exhibition format as a
publication itself.

Women in Design Conference: 24th & 25th of May at the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin.
The conference explored topics such as women designers in the Museum’s collections and whether it is important that designers are recognised and remembered as women.
Renata Pekowska presented a paper 'Women designers shaping the visual identity of contemporary Dublin' focusing on women designers/artists in Dublin creating murals, posters, signs, prints and other visuals on public display, and how they highlight social and political issues such as body image, challenging the language of patriarchy and the campaign to repeal the 8th amendment in Ireland.

‘The highlight was artist Renata Pekowska’s talk on how women designers are shaping the visual identity of contemporary Dublin.
Citing the rise in art murals, projects such as Dublin Canvas and decorative shop fronts in the city, Pekowska argued that Irish female artists today like Vanessa Power, Clara Dudley and Karen Harte are brightening the capital, while exploring contemporary issues in a new way.’Sunday, 10 March 2019

In the land of Light & Space
Haze and blinding light
Permanent filter of airborne dust
Blue tint of air perspective
Dark mountains and pale desert
Horizon at sunset orange and purple
A sunset of pale turquoise and dirty flamingo
So much sky multi-hue glows
Indescribable colour combinations
Paying attention to changing light brings on the true sense of wonder.
