For Now we see Through a Glass, Darkly: A Participatory Discussion

29 Oct 2011

2PM

Investigating the perception of the marginal or radical as it enters the mainstream, ‘For now we see through a glass, darkly’ will take the form of a participatory discussion.  Seán O Sullivan, Rosie Lynch, and Curt Riegelnegg will each give a ten-minute presentation on a selected text (available here) with a further response by Dublin Contemporary Lead Co-Curator Jota Castro. Discussion will then open up between the panel and the visitors to the Office of Non-Compliance.

Seán O’Sullivan is a curator who specialises in discussions, editorial projects and printed materials. His projects to date include ‘A&E’ (2010 – 2011), a rolling series of public discussions at Monster Truck Gallery, Temple Bar, and ‘The Wheel’ (2011), a publication and discussion project for emerging art critics. He sits on the Board of Directors for the Black Church Print Studio Dublin, and is currently studying on the MA in Visual Arts Practice at IADT, Dun Laoghaire.
