Event Details

Art Historian Dr Matthew Whyte offers a new lecture series, which takes the audience on an art-filled journey through the often beautiful, sometimes scandalous, and always fascinating moments in the development of Western civilisation.

The lectures can be attended as a series, but are also designed as standalone talks, which can be attended individually.

This lecture looks at some of the most prominent Irish contemporary artists, exploring how their practice advances both visual culture and the pressing issues that face us. Includes an artist talk from Cork-based visual artist Lara Quinn.
