Following on from his notable participation in the group exhibition all hawaii eNtrees / luNar reGGae at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) 2006, Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo returns to IMMA with his first major solo exhibition in Ireland. The Pardo installation is part of an larger project which includes some 20 works in a variety of media from film and video to painting and installation, and will comprise new and recent work sourced directly from the artists' studios and selected private international collections. Artists from right across Europe, the USA, Central and South America are represented, with most of them showing their work for the first time in Ireland. Artists include Anri Sala, Carsten Holler, Jorge Pardo, Dominique Gonzalez Forester, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Doug Aitken, Douglas Gordon, Liam Gillick, Sarah Lucas, Alighiero e Boetti, Maurizio Cattelan, Sarah Morris, Cerith Wyn Evans and Michel Majerus.

One of the most influential artists of his generation, Pardo utilises and explores new media and the future of art within new technology to present an exhibition which is at the forefront of art practice today. The result is a highly conceptual virtual retrospective comprising photomural wallpaper that covers the walls of the entire East Wing Galleries. This features images of Pardo's work from throughout his career, including sculpture, installations, design and architecture. There are no 3D objects. Instead, every aspect of the exhibition, including labels and wall texts, is incorporated into the wallpaper, which also features influences on Pardo's work and reads like a pictorial history of the development of his practice.
