Mark O’Gorman is the inaugural curator and producer of visual art at The Complex, a multi-disciplinary arts centre in Dublin’s north inner city, since 2018. The exhibition programme focuses on commissioning site-specific work with a prolonged developmental process and conversational approach with artists, who are carefully brought together in relation to one another. Mark has curated exhibitions and produced events featuring artists Olga Balema, Jeremy Deller, Vivienne Dick, Jaki Irvine, Sean Lynch, Dennis McNulty, Locky Morris, and Anne Tallentire. He co-curated Fly Floor in 2023 with Niamh O’Malley in partnership with the Ireland tour of Ireland at Venice at The Complex. He consistently guest lectures at the National College of Art & Design, Technological University Dublin, and the Institute of Art, Design and Technology. His writing has appeared in Paper Visual Art and The Visual Artists’ News Sheet.
