Join us before the official launch of Pilvi Takala’s solo exhibition The Stroker at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios for a conversation with Maeve Connolly and the artist, which will discuss and expand upon some of the ideas within the show. Maeve Connolly co-directs the ARC programme at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology. She is the author of TV Museum: Contemporary Art and the Age of Television (Intellect, 2014) and The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen (Intellect, 2009). Forthcoming publications include contributions to the anthologies Artists’ Moving Image in Britain since 1989 (Paul Mellon Centre and Yale University Press, 2019), European Women’s Video Art (John Libbey Publishing, 2019) and Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image: Contexts and Practices (Bloomsbury, 2019). Her current research focuses on artists as agents and analysts of infrastructural change.
