We at Circa are very sorry to hear of the passing of our friend and colleague Marian Lovett.

Marian was a frequent contributor to Circa’s pages. Her writing was marked by an incisive intelligence, informed by deep knowledge both of art and of the contexts in which art takes place. For the few years she was co-editor of Circa, she was dedicated to the project and shared her enthusiasm and vision for the archive of the magazine.

She previously served as Director of Temple Bar Gallery & Studios, Dublin, and as Interim Director of Limerick City Gallery of Art. She was also an independent curator and project manager.

Our thoughts are with Shane, Martha, Malachi, and her extended family and friends.
