Project Space at PP/S – May/June

Back to News & Events Part of Artist-Initiated Projects

A series of short-run artist-initiated projects, performances & events

The Project Space at PP/S is an open, accessible and versatile space that bridges studio and exhibition practice. It features throughout the year, internally-curated long-run projects, talks and events, alongside short-run artist-initiated projects, workshops, performances or large-scale studio use.
 
The Project Space is intended to allow access for individuals and groups working at a high standard within contemporary visual art and like-minded fields, to experiment with presenting their work and engage with audiences; to work in the context of a space with a dedicated tradition – ongoing over a seventeen year period – towards do-it-yourself initiatives and the professional development of emerging artists.

Events

powerS +  √ roots

23 May–01 June

Dave Madigan and Meadhbh O’Connor

powerS +  √ roots is the second exhibition informed by a longstanding dialogue between artists Dave Madigan and Meadhbh O’Connor. In this second phase, the two artists explore their interests in networks and energy systems, both natural and man-made.

Both working through large-scale sculptural installation, Dave imitates a child’s view of technology by representing objects and ideas through play situations; while Meadhbh, working with plant biologist Dr. Tamara Hochstrasser, explores aspects of competition and symbiosis in biological networks by use of the material remnants from such processes.
 
Opening Wednesday May 22 at 6–8pm
Open 23rd May–1st June, Thursday–Saturday, 12–6pm

Body Drawings

08–12 May

This work is born of experimentation with drawing as an embodied practice. Movement, energy and the kinesthetic sense were engaged in the making of large drawings and video, with accompanying music selected in conversation with DJ Nigel Wood.

With a reception on Thursday, May 9, 6–8pm

Performance Saturday, May 11, 2pm. A collaborative response with the artist, Fiona Quilligan and Nigel Wood.
