Jim Ricks
is an artist provocateur. He deconstructs popular mythologies
through quotidian, mischievous, publicly accessible installations. The
result is usually somewhere between curation, appropriation, and
collage. Originally from California, he moved to Ireland 10 years ago
to earn an mfa through nuig. Since then, he has become an active
and well known contemporary artist. He created the Poulnabrone
Bouncy Dolmen, travelled to Afghanistan “In Search of the Truth”, and
has shown at the rha, Pallas Projects/Studios, Temple Bar Gallery &
Studios, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, among others. He has
also curated shows internationally.
