Running from 6 November to 6 December the exhibition will feature works by Andy Warhol, Banksy, Salvador Dalí, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, alongside leading Irish contemporary artists including Patrick O’Reilly, Liam O’Neill, Ian Pollock and Anna Mc Keever.
Extending throughout the hotel’s interiors and public spaces, Beyond the Frame will complement the hotel’s distinctive architecture, bringing paintings and sculptures into unexpected spaces. Approximately 20 large-scale sculptures will feature throughout the property, with paintings and smaller works positioned to invite discovery as visitors move through the hotel.
The setting will offer fresh perspectives on the works, with changing light, scale and sightlines shaping how each piece is experienced. For collectors, hotel guests and visitors, it is an opportunity to encounter an extensive collection of Irish and international art beyond the traditional gallery
“Beyond the Frame is about giving people a different way to experience art in Dublin city centre. Anantara The Marker’s architecture and design offer a wonderful setting for these works, allowing visitors to discover them as they move through the hotel. For four weeks, The Marker will become a destination for art, conversation and connection, bringing together leading Irish artists, designers and creative voices to explore art in all its forms,” said James Gormley.
“At Anantara The Marker Dublin, design, creativity and cultural discovery are woven into every aspect of the guest experience, from our striking architecture and interiors to the carefully curated experiences we create for our guests. Co-hosting Beyond the Frame with Gormleys is a natural extension of this philosophy, transforming the hotel into a living gallery where world-renowned and Irish contemporary artists can be experienced in a truly unique setting.
This exhibition elevates our commitment to celebrating art and design to an entirely new level, and we are delighted to open our doors to collectors, guests and art enthusiasts alike to discover these extraordinary works in an inspiring and unexpected environment.” said Ludo De Jong, General Manager of the Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel
A key part of the event, is a programme of talks, live demonstrations and special events exploring the connections between art, design and architecture, offering visitors opportunities to hear directly from artists and other creative practitioners.
Highlights will include The Art of Design with Róisín Lafferty, exploring the relationship between art, interiors and spatial design, and The Art of Architecture with Gilbert-Ash, examining how art and architecture influence our experience of a building.
