Carnival Mashups - Sara Greavu Project Space 2nd - 21st September 2010 This new set of video and photographic works by Sara Greavu considers the Halloween carnival in Derry as a crack in the foundation of everyday society. Through this fissure erupt alternative histories, temporalities and narratives. The costumed chaos of the masquerade reveals as much as it conceals, providing a distorted lens through which to view the complex fears, desires, loyalties and longings of a 'post-conflict' society. Sara Greavu is an artist and curator who lives and works in Derry. She received her MFA from the University of Ulster in 2006 and is currently completing a practice-based PhD at U.U. entitled Unmasking the Halloween Carnival in Derry: Identity, Temporality, Politics and Polyvocality. She uses video, photography, sound and sculpture in her practice. She is a founding member of Void gallery (Derry) and former chair of the board of directors. She is also a member of Void's curating committee. Recent curatorial credits include Jeremy Deller's Local Artist. OPPORTUNITIES Artist's Registry We do not accept proposals from individual artists for exhibitions of their own work. Individual artists should submit their work for consideration via the Interested Artist's Registry. The Golden Thread Gallery Interested Artist's Registry has been established as a resource that the organisation can draw up on when devising its programme of temporary exhibitions and activities. ...for more...
