The grounds of the National Botanic Gardens, a stunning haven of peace and tranquility, have been home to this unique exhibition for the past seven years.  Over one hundred sculptures in a large range of materials will be displayed throughout the gardens, ponds, Great Palm House, and Curvilinear Range, with the smaller works exhibited in the gallery above the visitors’ centre.  Sculpture in Context was established in 1985 by sculptors whose aim was to work on behalf of fellow sculptors to provide space for exhibiting work of sculptors in venues outside of the normal gallery context. It has been successful in that aim over the years and has staged highly acclaimed shows each year at venues such as Fernhill Gardens, the Conrad Hotel, Kilmainham Gaol, the Irish Management Institute, Dublin Castle, Farmleigh House and the National Botanic Gardens. Each year a different panel of selectors is invited to adjudicate this open exhibition, leading to an exciting mix of mediums and styles. This year Daria Chapkovskaya, Senior Art Lecturer in Moscow State University will present a lecture on Russian Art: Contemporary Russian Art from Conceptualism of the Sixties to Present Day Movements, which will be held on Wednesday 9th September at 3pm, in the Auditorium at the gardens.
