Bibliography:

Dunne, Aidan, Crossing Spaces and Structures, Irish Times, February 7th 2007
‘Wit and lively inventiveness were evident in much of what was on view, including Hannah Doyle’s This is Not a Zoo...’

Metro Art Review, Without a Parachute, January 29th 2007
‘.. and Hannah Doyle’s This is Not a Zoo and this is Not a Zoo Too, which spills from the wall onto the floor and is a wondrously multifarious micro-world filled with layered structures in pinks and blues.’

Dunne, Aidan, Students pile the metaphors high, June 9th 2006
‘Hannah Doyle (DLIADT) invented an ambiguous fantasy world, mingling elements of salvation myths and the Pied Piper in her tale of a boy saviour.’

Curation work:

Radiant, a group exhibition in China Pink, Dublin 6 in December 2007

Co-curated with Aoife Merrigan, Moxie Dublin’s first exhibition, Without a Parachute, which took place in ‘The Back Loft’, Dublin 8 in January 2007.

Other Information:

Doyle co-founded and co-direct Moxie Dublin.
Moxie Dublin is an art collective of thirteen artists all living in the Dublin area. There are regular meetings, where future exhibitions are planned, individual projects are discussed, and where general discussion of the contemporary art scene has a platform. Moxie’s aim is to provide a network for its members to stay in contact with the art world, and provide support for each other and their work practices.

Designed the 40-page programme, leaflets, Invitations and street banners for the Rathmines Festival 2007, and other events and exhibitions.
