Holly O'Brien & Rachael Ryder

Intermission is the closing event of Holly O’Brien and Rachael Ryder’s collective residency at Studio Pavilion, House For An Art Lover.

House for an Art Lover

The show will present current research, films and work developed over the course of the residency and will experiment with various modes of display with a multi-projection installation in the exhibition space. Visitors will be invited to participate in conversation, reflection and live moving image work during the event. There will be an open drop-in workshop from 5pm-7pm in which participants can produce visual, mixed media responses to a collection of anonymous slides. We will explore the potentials for projection, through writing, drawing and collage and participants use our in-house slide collection and create visual mixed media collages. The event will take place from 5pm to 8pm 20th August. The event is free and all are welcome.HO.RRHO.RR (est 2021) is the collaborative practice of curators Holly O’Brien and Rachael Ryder, based in Glasgow. HO.RR seeks to bring engaging and accessible moving image initiatives to communities in Glasgow. These moving image initiatives take form in screening events, film workshops, performance-based workshops, community-led engagement, and panel talks. Their residency at Studio Pavilion was a critical space to develop a future programme and to carry out HO.RR’s collaborative, community-embedded practice on a public-facing stage. The residency was a hub of research and activity, encompassing three main elements:Research Lab: the SHEDS working space as a place of collective research, conversation and communal working. They constructed a visual research map for tracking their evolving programme of films and research into participatory methods.Test Site: a series of experimental engagement events for target groups within the public, visiting audiences, and peer practitioners, playing with various modes of display and interaction for critical feedback.Pop-up Screening: a short screening programme as a final event, presenting their research in a film produced on the site. Access Information Studio Pavilion is located at street-level with step-free access. A disabled toilet is available in the second studio across the courtyard. If you have any other access needs or have any questions about the event, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate: hollyobrienarts@gmail.comHolly Rose O’Brien is freelance curator and researcher based in Glasgow.
