Rethinking Presentation – adapting to a new landscape (NI)

Not in modern memory has a time like 2020/21 restricted artists’ right for movement and physical connection. We ask, what examples currently rethink the conventional four walls approach to presenting work? Valeria Ceregini, Jas Singh and Ciara Finnegan discuss.

This event in collaboration with Wicklow County Council Arts Office will explore some of the new and different ways that artists and curators have presented work outside of traditional institutions as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions.

Featuring; Ciara Finnegan, Valeria Ceregini & Jas Singh.

Recorded on 14 January 2021.

This event was held in partnership with Wicklow County Council Arts Office.

Jas Singh

Jas Singh graduated from Central St Martins in 2012 with a BA Fine Art specialising in 4D. His work addresses sociopolitical current affairs. His primary medium is dissonant audio interplaying with architecture, installations, sculpture, video as well as interactive live performative art – collaborating with the audience. Singh’s work mainly dictates these combinations.

Life changes in 2014/17 resulted in neurological complications forcing Jas to take a hiatus in making. In late 2017 he returned to making and reconfigured his method of practice from audio dissonance to considering visual overload with the same intent.
