Visual Artists Ireland are delighted to collaborate with Angie Duignan and Broadstone Studios on two events coinciding with Adapt, an exhibition of 7 Philadelphia artists.  Adapt  – curated by Amy Stevens opens Thu 19 Jul
and runs (19 Jul –  4 Aug 2012) @ Broadstone Studios.

Peer Sharing & Discussion Event – artists working in variety of media welcome
Sat 21 July (10.30 – 15.00) @ Broadstone Studios
Places: 10
Cost: €80 / 40 (VAI Members)

Amy Stevens and exhibiting artist Tim Portlock will lead this peer sharing session.  The intention of the session is to create a relaxed forum for artists to show and discuss their work.  It is hoped the session will foster networking and continued peer support and provide the opportunity for artists to hear about Amy and Tim’s practices and projects.  The session will be of particular interest to photographers and artists who incorporate photography, digital media and installation in their work.

Artists Talk  - Amy Stevens & Tim Portlock
Sat 21 July (16.00 – 17.00) @ Broadstone Studios

For further details on both events and to register see: Visual Artists Ireland Professional Development.

Amy Stevens holds a BFA in Studio Art/ Photography, and a certificate in Women’s Studies from Arizona State University and an MFA in Photography from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. Stevens has participated in both group and solo shows in major US cities as well as Canada, Ireland and China. Stevens has notably shown in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Delaware Art Museum, Photo LA, Photographic Center Northwest, Philadelphia International Airport, The Center for Photography at Woodstock and Jen Bekman Gallery in New York.   Amy’s work is part of the permanent photography collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Indie Photobook Library, numerous corporate collections and The Beaverbrook Art Gallery in New Brunswick, Canada.  Amy is curator of Adapt, which is an international exchange exhibition at Broadstone Gallery as part of the Open Programme for PhotoIreland Festival 2012. Amy currently lives in Reading, Pennsylvania where she is a resident artist at Goggleworks Center for the Arts and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Albright College and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online.  www.amystevensart.com/

Amy’s long-term photographic project, Confections, explores issues of desire, the quest for perfection, humor and a little feminist rebellion surrounding the domestic do-it-yourself phenomenon in contemporary popular culture.

Tim Portlock was born in Chicago, which inspired his lifelong interest in the dialogue between place and the formation of identity. While holding two degrees in painting (BFA, painting, Kansas City Art institute and MFA, Studio Art, University of Chicago) he also has a degree in Electronic Visualization (MFA, University of Illinois at Chicago).  Portlock’s computer generated images present post-industrial cities as subject matter using the conventions of 19th century American landscape painting. He has exhibited in France, the UK, Poland, Argentina, Austria and Japan as well as other countries in Europe, North America. Portlock is a recipient of 2011 Pew Fellowship in the Arts. See a recent article on Tim’s work here.

These events were developed with artist Angie Duignan and with support from Broadstone Studios.  Amy got to know artist, Angie Duignan, in the summer of 2010 while participating in the art@work residency programme in Co. Roscommon.  Adapt is the second of two exchange exhibitions.  The first titled Interchanges (Apr – May 2012) was curated by Angie Duignan in Philadelphia and featured the work of 8 Irish Artists at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CEVA), Philadelphia.  The idea for these exchange exhibitions was forged by Amy and Angie’s friendship and a desire for an international collaboration.

Adapt is included in the OPEN Programme for PhotoIreland Festival which takes place 1-31 July 2012.
