Oisín O’Brien (IRE)

Oisín O’Brien is an Irish artist based between Dublin and Berlin.  His practice combines handcrafted, manipulated and procured objects. Previously, this has manifested as sculptural installation, painted works, text, video elements, the dissemination of data and both collaborative and curatorial projects. The assemblages seek a way to extend the absurdity of our relationship to western culture and the objects which facilitate it, by fusing the ridiculous with the rigidly functional. Recent projects include: ‘There Comes A Timeless’, Rua Red, Dublin and ‘Apricot’, Basic Space, Dublin.

Oisín will give a talk about his work in the Sirius Arts Centre residency space on 21st September at 6.30pm.
