Cloud Illusions I Recall explores the fertile relationship between visual art and cinema. The Irish Museum of Modern Art has invited artists Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Cerith Wyn Evans to exhibit their work and explore concepts of the poetic and imagination that together make up the cinematic experience, thereby investigating the relationships and influence of film. 

Through a series of conversations, Gonzalez-Foerster and Wyn Evans explored this influence of the cinematic as a theme for the show, and then expanded the exhibition through selected diverse works from filmmakers, writers and artists. Both artists nuanced selection of installations, video, film, painting, text and events showcases the long-standing legacy of cinema as a source of inspiration for artists since its formation. The exhibition presents a dialogue with cinema that reveals the rich interplay between the two genres.

The exhibition is co-curated by artists Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Cerith Wyn Evans, and Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions, IMMA.
