Artist's talk: Marie Farrington & Kate Strain

Join artist Marie Farrington and curator Kate Strain on Saturday 18 October from 2—4pm for an afternoon immersion in the artworks of ‘Diagonal Acts’.

The event begins in Gallery 3 with a collective reading of Megan Macedo’s text ‘Lifting and Leaning’ among the artwork about which the text was written. This will be followed by an outdoor excursion to the People's Park where we’ll activate a newly commissioned artwork by Laura Ní Fhlaibhín, designed to nourish the soil. We’ll use sculptural tools by Farrington to prepare the ground as part of the process.

Afterwards — over tea and biscuits — we’ll discuss Farrington’s work, some research texts arising from the project, as well as her interest in geology, archaeology, the sculptural position of leaning, and the influence of those interests on her studio practice.

Spaces are free but limited, so book your place for an afternoon of reading and conversation at The Dock.
