SUMMARY:Online Artist Talk | BASIC TALK with Laura Ní Fhlaibhín
DESCRIPTION:BASIC SPACE is delighted to present Laura Ní Fhlaibhín for ou
 r August BASIC TALK - 1pm on Friday the 8th of August 2025 online\n\nLaura
  Ní Fhlaibhín works with materials related to healing and nourishment\, 
 both ecological and autobiographical. Sifting stories\, materials and trac
 es associated with site\, memory\, narratives of care and the casting of s
 pells\, she creates complex but pithy material scenarios. Her practice mak
 es space for the more than human within the art-institution setting\, whit
 e cube spaces becoming incubators for living beings such as earthworms\, l
 eopard slugs and willow trees. Working across sculpture\, installation\, w
 riting and drawing\, embodied care is both represented and inscribed in th
 e material and narrative improvisations that are interwoven in her sculptu
 ral assemblages. She builds installations that operate as symbiotic ecosys
 tems\; sculptural assemblages giving structural and biological support\, s
 uch as a network of soil pipes filled with worm bedding materials or a med
 icinal\, and warming alcoholic tincture offered to gallery visitors over t
 he course of an exhibition. Her assemblages function as nourishing hosts f
 or growth and invite guardianship from the art-institution hosts. The loom
 ing threats of the environmental crisis and biodiversity loss echo through
  the work\, and in her attention towards the material entanglements of our
  worlds\, across species and things\, she points to vibrant and nourishing
  kinships that can emerge from such alliances. The political charge and po
 tential of art making to co-exist as an ecological type of caregiving is a
  constant motivation.\n\n
