Biography

Siobhán Hapaska
born 1963, Belfast
lives and works in London and Rotterdam

Hapaska’s oeuvre stretches over a period of more than twenty-five years and is marked by originality and complexity. She appears to be working in a broken landscape, retracing past events using faint memories, nurturing unthinkable works as palimpsests. This ‘post-Beuysian’ territory requires re-tuning of our senses to recognize patterns evolved from her personal and cultural developments whilst she uses juxtapositions of the artificial and the natural, of sound and silence, and evocations of life and death. A clear example of this is her installation at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen (2014-15) a portrait of a state of uprootnedness, with suspended and quivering olive trees evoking sensations of disturbance and excitement.’

A selection of Hapaska’s solo exhibitions includes Kunst Museum, St Gallen, Switzerland (2020); Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2020); John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton, UK (2019); Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (2016); Andéhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm (2016); Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2014–2015); Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Stockholm (2013); HIDDE VAN SEGGELEN (2013), Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York (2010) and Camden Arts Centre, London (2007).

Group exhibitions includes Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, Ireland (2019, 2018) White Cube Bermondsey, London (2017); Bloomberg SPACE, London (2016); 56th Venice Biennale, Italy (2015); Royal Academy, London (2010); the British Art Show 6 (2005–2006); 49th Venice Biennale, Italy (2001); Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Stockholm and Documenta X, Kassel (1997).

Hapaska’s work is included in several collections, including Museum Boijmans Van Beunigen, Rotterdam; TATE, London; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC.

In November 2023, Hapaska will have a solo presentation at The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, Ireland.
