A Tenuous Line | Niamh McGuinne at Custom House Studios + Gallery

Event Details

A Tenuous Line is a multimedia exhibition presented by Niamh McGuinne, a Dublin-based visual artist whose practice combines print, sculpture, film and installation. Her work investigates the formulations of middens, accumulations of discarded material, and historical rubbish heaps. There are 77 midden sites situated in Mayo, 18 of which are sheltered in Clew Bay, typically containing shells, bones and other such remnants of survival. These middens are read as sites of temporary occupation. In A Tenuous Line, the “line” invoked is neither cartographic nor fixed; rather, it is a line drawn around resources, around bodies, around access.
