"Olivier Cornet has a knack for curating good thematic shows..."
Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, The Ticket, 15th December 2017

Well, whether you agree or not, the gallerist at 3 Great Denmark Street loves curating art exhibitions, on his own or in collaboration with others...
For the month of April, the Olivier Cornet Gallery will be changing the display of works on a weekly basis in the exhibition room, selecting works from their storage room. This will happen every Thursday from 6 pm onwards.

The resulting mini series of exhibitions or 'exhibition corners' will be open to the public during normal opening hours, until the 29th of April.

The initial edition of the exhibition includes work by ANNIKA BERGLUND, AISLING CONROY, HUGH CUMMINS, JOHN FITZSIMONS, JORDI FORNIES, DAVID FOX, CONRAD FRANKEL, CLAIRE HALPIN, EOIN MAC LOCHLAINN, MIRIAM MCCONNON, SHEILA NAUGHTON, YANNY PETTERS, KELLY RATCHFORD, FREDA RUPP and CONSTANCE SHORT.

We would like to invite budding curators or members of the public who have an interest in this activity to "come and curate with us". 

Simply email us at info@oliviercornetgallery.com explaining in a few lines why you would like to do it. Come to the opening on the 29th in any case and find out more.

Coverage:
Week 2 of the project, the architect, designer and artist Colin Eaton came to the gallery to co-curate in company of three other architects. A few hours later, he wrote a beautiful essay on the experience and how himself and the other architects went about curating in company of the gallerist. Click here to read it. The document also contains photographs of the placing/installation that took place on that night.
