The Lab Gallery invites you to visit Passage, an exhibition of work by Siobhán McDonald curated by Margarita Cappock.
Exhibition is running from Friday 16 January - Saturday 21 February 2026.
About the Show:
Siobhan McDonald’s multifaceted project explores Dublin's deep history as a mutable landscape shaped by water, cosmology, and human intervention. Through film, sound, painting, and sculpture, the installation investigates how the city’s shifting ground holds memory and resilience. PASSAGE traces the interdependence of human and more-than-human worlds, revealing the city as a living organism — breathing, eroding, reforming. By weaving together research from the school of natural sciences at Trinity College Dublin, McDonald offers a meditation on place and change — a reminder that the boundaries between solid and fluid, human and elemental, are always in motion. The work calls to mind ancient myths surrounding the rivers and seas as well their raw and fragile beauty.
