13BC

Artist Talk

The Douglas Hyde is proud to present Fatal Act, the first exhibition in Ireland by 13BC, a research collective for moving images co-founded by Vic Brooks, Lucy Raven, and Evan Calder Williams.

Fatal Act centres on histories of war, toxicity, and territory, delving into the images and forms of vision inseparable from these histories. The exhibition will open on the evening of Friday 20 September, 2019.

At 5pm on the day of the opening, the three artists will discuss their work in conversation with Maeve Connolly, a Dublin-based researcher, focused on changing cultures and economies of art and media practice. Connolly is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Film, Art & Creative Technologies at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Dublin, Ireland, where she co-directs the MA in Art & Research Collaboration (ARC) and also teaches studio modules on the BA in Art.

The exhibition will continue until Saturday 7 December, 2019.
