David Ireland is one of the West Coast's most important conceptual and installation artists. “500 Capp Street”, his famous house and studio has become a world-recognized example of an artist transforming architecture into fine art. In 2003 the Oakland Museum presented a touring retrospective exhibition of his work featuring about 80 works created between 1972 and 2002: large-scale installations, sculptural objects and his paintings, drawings and painted photographs.
In his first show since the retrospective Ireland will present works from his studio, many being exhibited for the first time. Sculptures, paintings and works on paper in mixed media, some created with cement, building materials and enamel, will be featured alongside his room-like installation, Penn’s Pocket.
For many years Ireland’s work has paid tribute to the legacy of other artists and to the principle that art-making is about finding and discovering. In Penn’s Pocket the artist reconstructs the crevice-hallway used by Irving Penn to photograph his famous subjects. Only when the viewer enters the space is an actual Irving Penn portrait of Marcel Duchamp visible.
In November 2006 David Ireland will be recognized with a special achievement award by the Headlands Center for the Arts in Marin County along with Ann Hamilton. Both will be honored for their artistic and architectural contribution to the campus, and for their inspirational role in the arts community.
Publications on David Ireland’s life and work, available through the gallery are: The Art of David Ireland: The Way Things Are (Oakland Museum) and Touching Time and Space, Betty Klausner.
