'Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked’. Warren Buffett
Curators Nora Hickey and Eilis Lavelle of Mermaid Arts Centre invited 25 contemporary Irish- based artists to consider and respond to Buffett’s metaphorical citation.
The Swimming Naked Prophecy is a group drawing exhibition featuring new work specifically made for the exhibition offering a range of responses by visual artists to Ireland’s current social, economic and political circumstances and the current mood in Ireland. This work will be first shown in Mermaid Arts Centre from December 2 2010 to February 12 2011 and will continue to tour to a small number of venues.
