Discover two new artwork acquisitions in The Enemy is Time exhibition at the Ulster Museum.
During the 1950s and 1960s, artists experimented with new ways of making art in a world profoundly altered by the previously unimaginable losses and devastation of the Second World War. Two of the most important paintings in the Ulster Museum collection, Head II (1949) by Francis Bacon and Golden Age (1958) by Morris Louis, respond in different ways to the uncertainties of the new Anthropocene era, an age dominated by the activities of man.
For many contemporary artists, the vulnerability of the natural world and the preciousness of human memory and experience have become dominant themes. Two new acquisitions, Blue Sky Thinking (2019) by Patrick Goddard and Interval V (2023) by Ailbhe Ni Bhriain, reflect the alarming speed and immensity of loss associated with unchecked climate change. Read more about the artwork included in this exhibition here and here.
The Ulster Museum exhibitions are free to visit, open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17.00.
As part of Good Relations Week 2025, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is hosting a drumming circle at Parkhall Integrated College, bringing together students and Antrim Men’s Shed.
