Dublin Contemporary at Trinity College Dublin
During the month of October, the main façade at Trinity College Dublin will, for the first time in its 420-year history, form a unique backdrop to an artwork created specifically for the university as part of Dublin Contemporary 2011.
For a period of one month the principal College Green face of the university will display the latest work by Paris based, Yugoslavian born artist Braco Dimitrijević entitled ‘Casual Passer-by I met at 3.46 PM, Dublin 2011’.
In addition to this artwork and in association with Dublin Contemporary 2011, the campus will play host to a captivating programme of talks, tours, discussions, and performances organised by the College Art Collections, the Department of the History of Art and Architecture, aided by the Student Visual Arts Society, and supplementing ongoing exhibitions and events planned for the festival by The Douglas Hyde Gallery and The Science Gallery.
Dimitrijević is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of conceptual art, and a leading innovator in the field of art in the public realm. His work is motivated by an exploration of the manners in which history is constructed, and in particular, the role of the individual in this process. Dimitrijević created the first instalment of his “Casual Passer-By” series in 1971, and has repeated this process in locations worldwide over the past four decades, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. His series utilises advertising media such as billboards, banners and public transit vehicles to display the faces of strangers whom he encounters and subsequently photographs in the street. The vagaries of chance, the whims of history, and the fickleness of celebrity are all suggested by these anonymous yet iconic portraits. Enmeshing the monumental with the quotidian, ‘Casual Passer-By’ deals with ideas of memory, dignity and transience in a direct and powerful manner.
