Andy Warhol is one of the twentieth-century’s most renowned and complex artists, and twenty years after his death The Eternal Now presents an opportunity for audiences to experience at first hand some of his most important and influential work.

This major exhibition marks the work of Andy Warhol and those involved in his expansive studio, the Factory. It presents the Factory as a centre of experimental art production and will bring some of the most important work emerging from the studio during that time to Ireland
including film, painting, photography, sculpture, music and books. In 1964 Warhol moved into what became known as the Silver Factory and until 1968 this space provided a physical and conceptual framework for a broad range of activity that pushed the boundaries of what art production can be and helped define our contemporary ideas of the role of the artist.

Between 1963, when he bought his first 16mm movie camera, and 1968, when he began to retire as a film-maker, Andy Warhol led an intensive period of film-making from the Factory, which challenged the conventions of cinema, making films that were longer, more numerous, and more complex than anything seen before. This exhibition reflects this extraordinary period of film production and will include, amongst other key films; the Screen Tests, Empire, Kiss, Sleep and lesser known narrative features scripted by Ronald Tavel including Horse, The Life of Juanita Castro and Kitchen.

During this period Warhol expanded his practice into a collaboration with the seminal band the Velvet Underground and the exhibition will include films and music resulting from this collaboration. As a reflection of the multi-disciplinary nature of the Factory it will also include key screen-prints from the period including the Electric Chair and Photo Booth series, the ‘disposable’ Silver Cloud sculptures,
and a large collection of iconic photographs documenting the Factory taken by Billy Name, Stephen Shore and Nat Finkelstein.

Many of these works have not been seen in Ireland before and this exhibition presents a rare opportunity to address the creative legacy of Warhol and those artists working with him during this extraordinarily productive period of the Factory’s history. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by Jan Winkelman and Francis McKee.

The Eternal Now: Warhol and The Factory '63-'68 is organised by The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, co-curated by The Model Arts and Niland Gallery in collaboration with the Lewis Glucksman Gallery and Ikon Gallery.

The exhibition is a research partner in The Arts Council Touring Experiment.

There will be associated seasons of talks, film and music to coincide with The Eternal Now.
