Home from Home, On-Line Initiative at the Glucksman, UCC, Cork, May 2020

I have a short sound work up online as part of the Home from Home initiative launched by the Glucksman Gallery, Cork.

Irish artists respond to the COVID 19 restrictions.

Sara Baume, Tinka Bechert, Martin Boyle, Brian Duggan, James L. Hayes, Kerry Guinan, Eileen Hutton, Julie Merriman, Doireann Ní Ghrioghair, Treasa O’Brien, Julia Pallone, Amanda Rice, Ciara Roche, Kathy Tynan, Mieke Vanmechelen

Home from Home is intended as a way to provide insight into the extraordinary situation of being confined to home during the COVID 19 pandemic. The selected artists were due to present work in the Glucksman this April as part of the exhibition HOME which is now postponed until later this year. 

Every Tuesday and Friday, we will share the response of a single artist and provide some additional information on their wider practice. The artists explore the shared challenges of being at home, the frustrations, boredom, anxiety, but also the capacity to reflect, create and connect.

Going Away TV @ The Wrong Biennale

Going Away.tv is an online platform hosting live streamed artists’ moving image 24/7, combining work from a variety of localities and backgrounds. At once embracing and critiquing the democratic nature of streaming platforms such as ‘Twitch’ and ‘Youtube Live’, Going Away.tv will continuously present the work of multiple artists working in moving image and broadcasting, randomised but presented sequentially twenty four hours a day. On returning visits to ‘Going Away’, you may not see the same work twice.

Going Away.tv is directed by Marc Blazel and Alexander Harding.

This year’s open call invited artists to submit work that comments on the trials of our post truth world and the potential of collective energy. Time, labour, love, loss, coping mechanisms, and space for imagining for the future, these are some of the themes that are explored in ARTWORKS 2019.
Along with artists selected from open submission, Dearly Beloved also includes a number of important works from the IMMA collection including Pierre Huyghe’s Block Party (2002, film) and Mairead McClean’s No More (2013, film).

This exciting summer exhibition gathers a diverse selection of ideas, work and talent from artists working nationally and internationally. Presenting work in film, sound, performance, painting, sculpture, new media and photography, ARTWORKS celebrates contemporary visual art and its potential to stir ideas and reflect on LIFE. ARTWORKS 2019 was selected by Carlow Arts Festival Director Jo Mangan, VISUAL Curator Emma Lucy O' Brien and artist Dennis McNulty.

In recent years ARTWORKS has established two art prizes, The HOTRON Award for an outstanding piece of work and the Éigse Prize for work by a recent graduate. Both prizes are sponsored by Hotron Ltd.

Right to Host: 6 Characters in Search for a Host, Architectural Association, London 17th May - 30th June 2019

Architectural Association, Bedford Square ‘Right to Host: Six Characters in Search for a Host’ 17/5/2019 - 13/6/2019

Sean Gwee, Alexander Zikanov, Gabrielle Eglan & other members of the AA community invite Mollie Anna King, Amanda Rice, Tiffany Loy…

Right to Host is a performance and installation comprising of a series of hostings by people from within and outside the Architectural Association. These acts of hosting are played out on a reconfigurable stage, facilitating public vignettes of hospitality (acts of hosting), and making visible the normally private act of inducting guests into a host’s domain thus blurring the border between private and public. The performances are an experiment which will inform the design of a formalized public facility for hosting.

Right to Host is designed and developed as part of the Mark Fisher Scholarship, which is awarded to students of exceptional talent and interest in the intersection of architecture, performance, media and engineering. The performance and installation has been designed by Sean Gwee (AA 4th Year Student and 2018/19 recipient of the Mark Fisher Scholarship), and in collaboration with Alexander Zikanov (AA 3rd Year Student), Gabrielle Eglan (AA 3rd Year Student) and other members of the AA Community.
