Research output: Non-textual formExhibition

Abstract

Gracelands is an annual screening, sculpture and performance event curated by Vaari Claffey that takes place on Grace Weir and Joe Walker’s land near Dromahair in Co. Leitrim, Ireland.

5-11 PM, 24th September, 2011
The Mimetic House / Dromahair / County Leitrim / Ireland

Gracelands 2011 Substance Abuse explores the idea of altered consciousness, considering how the capacities and functions of material (substance) are stretched and reconfigured in the process of making artworks.

It also considers how the substance of an argument or idea can be represented or interpreted to prioritise understanding over knowing.

Please note that Scoli Acosta's performance will now take place at the site of the Mimetic house at 6 pm and not at the lake as previously scheduled.

The programme continues with a presentation of Chorspiel by Ulla von Brandenburg. This work is performed by a choir conducted by Joachim Saxenborn with actors Dan Reardon, Lauren Larkin, Bush Mourkarzel, Sarah Jane Scaife & Janyce Condon.
