Kilkenny Artists Café
Curated by Eamonn Maxwell
Hosted by the Tea Houses
Supported by Kilkenny Arts Office
10am, Friday 3rd October
The Kilkenny Artists Café is a new initiative aimed at creating an informal space for artists to come together and discuss issues, discover new approaches and meet other artists, over a cuppa!
These sessions will take place in the Tea Houses on a bi-monthly basis. Following feedback from attendees at the previous cafe, we are delighted to welcome artist Pauline O'Connell to talk about collaboration with other artists, curators and others. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the positives and potential pitfalls of collaboration.
Pauline O'Connell is an Irish artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans theory, film, photography, sculpture, installation, text and sound. Throughout her thirty-year career, she has engaged with micro-histories and personal narratives, often presenting her projects within the communities and contexts from which they emerge. Her work aims to create spaces where new subjectivities can surface, bridging the gap between art and lived experience.
Kilkenny Artists Café was created in response to artists saying they want more opportunity to meet with others. So these are your sessions and need your input!
