Mark Joyce

Mark Joyce has had solo exhibitions in Ireland, UK and the USA, received awards from The British Council, Thomas Damman Trust and the Georgette Chen fellowship in 2016. His work is in the IMMA and Arts Council of Ireland collections. He has been the Artist in Residence at the Albers Foundation, NAFA, Singapore, and the Icelandic Centre for the Arts. He was Director of Arts and full Professor of Visual Arts at Yale-National University of Singapore, a Visiting Professor at KCUA Kyoto, and Erasmus Fellow at Uni-Arts Helsinki in 2019.
