Highlights:


Irish Energy
(curatorial work)




Irish Energy was an exhibition of contemporary Irish artists in Berlin took Joseph Beuys’ relationship to Ireland as a departure point to touch upon topics of landscape, ecology, shamanism, magic and socio-political agency. I was involved in the initial curatorial work for the exhibition including conceptual developement and the invitation of artists.



Here is Some Place Else
(documentary video art)




Here is Some Place Else is a short documentary-style video work that unfolds the narratives embedded in landscape. The video work uncovers the disappeared village of Tzschelln, demolished in the late 1970s due to mining, and surveys memory work including storytelling by former inhabitants and objects stored in a national museum, exploring along the way lost places, rupture and the idea of home.


this was the source, you know
(sculpture)




this was the source you know draws associations between avant-garde theatre and Caspar David Friedrich’s painting “Two Men Contemplating The Moon” (1819-20). The work is named after a possibly apocryphal quote attributed to Samuel Beckett, who its told fingered the painting as an inspiration for his play “Waiting for Godot” (1952).


The Reading Room
(curatorial work)




The Reading Room was a curatorial project that had the aim to maintain, archive and represent products of contemporary art practices evolving within printed and published formats. With over 75 artist’s publications and related projects, it established long-term reading rooms in Berlin & Birmingham, and numerous temporary manifestations elsewhere.
