Darran McGlynn

State of Play

State of Play is a solo exhibition by Darran McGlynn, showcasing new work that combines traditional sculpture and text to explore societal, material, and environmental histories.

Engaging with personal and collective narratives, the exhibition invites reflection on our place in a globalised world. McGlynn’s multidisciplinary practice contrasts contemporary life with deep time, offering a philosophical lens on our shifting realities and shared environments.

Curated by Kate McSharry.
