Artist’s Talk—Time, Touch, Interruption

Thursday 22nd July, 5-6 pm

As part of her exhibition at Pallas, Argentinian artist Florencia Caiazza has invited one of The Mothership project founders, artist and lecturer Seoidín O'Sullivan to join her in conversation to talk to and think about her work before and after having a child. She will discuss what her attentions are currently drawn to through this experience of becoming a mother and how she is thinking about materiality, touch, time and interruption in her new circumstances. The audience is invited to converse and discuss their own responses in relation to these themes. Children are welcome
