Commotion

An exciting new touring series of programmes put together by curators from the UK , Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands. The programmes are themed and explore different issues or creative genres.

From The Inside

This programme of work looks at the unique personal circumstances artists bring to their practice. Films by Mircea Cantor, Paddy Jolley, Rosalind Nashashibi, and TJ Wilcox draw on nationality, family histories/stories, religious or political beliefs. The viewer gains a privileged insight into a range of emotions, actions, landscapes, people and cultures that have been drawn from the private – from the inside.

"On the surface, there appears to be little in common with these artists apart from the medium of film – their practice, content, style all differ vastly; however the reason I feel there is a connection with the work is they share with the viewer an expression of their own personal journeys and stories. These ‘stories' – primarily sourced from family histories/stories and circumstances relating to nationality – generously offer a privileged insight into a range of emotions, actions, landscapes, people, cultures that those of us on the outside might not otherwise be privvy to or, indeed, have even considered."

Aileen Corkery, Curator, From The Inside
