Frank Wasser—On Tenterhooks (A postscript)

Event

On Tenterhooks (A postscript). A performance by Frank Wasser as part of the Artist-Initiated Projects at Pallas Projects Studios.

Saturday 19th November, 2 pm

Meshed fragments of conflated memories, histories and fictions rest in this place temporarily. Wasser renders the place of his childhood home (The Tenters), the place where he learned to speak for the first time as a subject for analysis. The works invite questions within the context of a wider precarity, the conditions of the making of the work, the current housing crisis and an imagined fantasy of the future of the site examined. The work evolved from the artist returning to Dublin to research several sites local to the gallery, including his childhood home now owned by an unrelated private homeowner.
