Location: Ballina Arts Centre

Image > Act > Actual: Peter Spiers / Traced Memory: Michelle Browne

Official Opening: Wednesday 4^th August, 8pm

Image > Act > Actual, an exhibition of photography and video works by Peter Spiers, addresses the possibilities of the image from a phenomenological position.

It examines the state of the image in its relation to Actuality, taking references from diverse subjects as Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Rancière and Laurel & Hardy films. Spiers explains: “Usually we engage with images through a system of representation; of signs, signifiers, appropriations, referents and stand-ins. This exhibition turns on its head our usual way of engaging with the image”.

In Traced Memory, Michelle Browne will present a series of performative participatory works made for public spaces. The exhibition will consist of documentation and reports from the performances, seeking to capture the essence of the experience of such an event.

Michelle Browne is an artist and curator based in Dublin, Ireland. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, and is the recipient of the NCAD Student Prize, The RDS James White Art Award, The Arts Council of Ireland Artist Bursary and support from Culture Ireland. This work is kindly supported by The Arts Council.

Free admission. All are welcome to attend, exhibition runs until 28^th August.
