Artists Aisling McCoy, Alice Rekab and Tamsin Snow have all held one year Project Studios at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios during 2018-2019. To mark the end of their residencies at TBG+S, aemi was invited to host a screening programme of moving image works selected in dialogue with the artists.
Each artist was invited to select a moving image or lens-based artwork that they have made, been influenced by, or that reflects the methodologies of their work. Each of the artists work in a range of media, which includes but is not limited to video. Studio visits in TBG+S by aemi have helped guide the curation for this programme, helping to draw out wider links between the artists’ current areas of interest through works that might resonate with unexplored threads in their practices.
The selected works screened here not only offer an insight into the artists’ processes but also highlight the importance and centrality of their studios; not only for the production of work, but also as a place to consider other artists’ practices, engage in dialogue with curators and to generate new ideas. The works screened will be intertwined with existing works by each artist in animation, sculpture and performance.
Alice Rekab has invited artist Jenna Collins, with whom she has previously collaborated, to perform a rendition of Two External Light Sources at the Same Time. This 12-minute performance work also directly references What Is A Nomoli?, one of Rekab’s own videos that is also included in the programme.
Aisling McCoy has selected a series of short works including a piece by artist duo Onorato & Krebs which considers, but also deconstructs, the role of canonical figures like Le Corbusier, and their utopian ideals.
Tamsin Snow will show At the House of Mr X, a video by Elizabeth Price that incorporates controlled movement through modernist interiors, a feature that has also become an ongoing characteristic of Snow’s own recent CGI animations.
