Artist Talk: Sarah Browne | TULCA Gallery
TULCA Gallery, Hynes Building, St Augustine St
Monday 13 November 2023
11am - 1pm
TULCA’s Artist Talks Series in partnership with ATU presents the third talk of this year’s edition of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts by artist Sarah Browne.
Sarah Browne
Sarah Browne is an artist concerned with spoken and unspoken, bodily experiences of knowledge, labour and justice. Her practice involves sculpture, film, performance and public projects, and frequent interdisciplinary collaboration.
Echo’s Bones, 2022
A collaborative film-making project made with autistic young people in North County Dublin. The project borrows its title from an unpublished story by Samuel Beckett set in that landscape of Fingal, where now an old asylum building meets the coastline. Beckett’s plays are populated with people who might move with difficulty, mutter over each other, talk into the dark or not speak at all. The project questions why such neurodivergent or disabled styles of communication may be treated poorly in everyday situations, but valued as artistically exciting in others. It is a way of asking what a neurodivergent cinema, art, and world could be like.
