National Sculpture Factory FREQUENCIES

Summer Lecture Series - 2017

The Frequencies series of lunchtime talks gives the NSF an opportunity to open its doors to the public in order to foster an exchange of ideas between our local creative community and some of Ireland’s leading artists, designers and researchers. These four sessions explored new notions of disciplinarily, looking at practices that may explore new territories of in-between-ness of practice and production in different or unexpected ways.

Joanne Power - Is it limiting to think of people in disciplines, should we instead start to think of their capacities and how they transform? From a reflective look at her practice Joanne's contribution will demonstrate the need for inquiry in all its undisclosed and naive form to be deeply rooted in why, and what, we produce. How using a synthesis of approaches to create a unity of practical and intellectual frameworks beyond the disciplinary perspectives broaden our understanding about the changing expanding role and responsibility of the artist, and the possible reconceptualisation of practice and education.
