To be launched by Peggy Shaw, international performance artist on 23rd April at 6pm.
From Context to Exhibition presents the work of undergraduate arts students made collaboratively with communities of place and/or interest. The ‘exhibition’ explores and questions the politics of translating the work from the context of production (the community) to a formal arts space (the gallery). The ‘exhibition’ will be accompanied by a Talks Series. All events will all take place at The LAB, Dublin City Council Gallery.
