Jim Ricks

[14][15] In an ongoing body of work, "Jim Ricks has developed the method of synchro-materialism as a means to consider the territory where art meets capitalism", and he has used this methodology in exhibition, performance, and print since 2010.

Poulnabrone Bouncy Dolmen... is a commentary on our past, our present, the concept of “brand Ireland” and the very idea of public art; and everyone is invited to bounce.

[38] Ricks's contributions included an unauthorised exhibition, a curated open call (Future Perfect),[39] a solo show (Bubblewrap Game: Hugh Lane),[40] and closing event and performances.

[41] Aidan Dunne of the Irish Times describes Ricks's offerings as a "curatorial process of selection and validation, making a museum within the museum comprising works from the real collection, artworks borrowed from elsewhere, non-art objects from flea markets and a commissioned copy of an Ed Ruscha painting.

[44] He exhibited work made in Afghanistan with Ryan Alexiev, Hank Willis Thomas, and Najeebullah Najeeb at the Trotsky Museum in Mexico City in 2022.
