Pálás Cinema, 15 Merchants Rd Lower
Monday 20 November 2023
11am - 1pm
TULCA’s Artist Talks Series in partnership with ATU presents the final talk of this year’s edition of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts by artist Bridget O’Gorman. This year’s talks series is kindly hosted by Pálás Cinema.
Bridget O’Gorman
Bridget O’Gorman is a visual artist and writer. Using text, live event, video and sculptural installation, her work explores the body as material, considering otherness, the speculative and expanded corporeal experience. Bridget recently reached an impasse in the way that she works due to the deterioration of a permanent spinal injury known as Cauda Equina Syndrome.
Support | Work, 2023
A sculptural installation, forming an ecosystem of balance and precariousness reflecting on what it means to support and be supported and ultimately how we affect one another. The sculptures are large-scale ‘mobiles’: reflecting upon ideas of support and equilibrium, and created using found and fabricated media, using pulleys, parts from mobility aids, and hoists. The sculptures are informed by support and access, but will also be produced through access, made with a support worker.
A commission supported by Arts & Disability Ireland’s Connect+ Award 2023.
