Artist Breda Lynch will give a lunchtime talk about her practice and current solo exhibition at GOMA Waterford, Hellbound, on Saturday 4 July from 12–1pm.
Breda Lynch a visual artist living in Limerick city who engages with a variety of media including drawing, photography, print and digital media, video and installation. Through their work they engage with dialogues and discourses on queer feminisms, occulture, image appropriation and the culture of the copy. Lynch has exhibited extensively in Ireland and abroad.
In this new exhibition, Hellbound, at GOMA Waterford, Breda Lynch presents work that cuts to the heart of how images shape and distort our understanding of identity, sexuality, and belonging. Irreverent and unsettling, Lynch’s practice refuses the comforting notion that society has moved on by holding a mirror up to the present.
“My art practice examines the aesthetics of visual images from the public domain, with a particular interest in the rhetoric of ‘queer’ identities, practices, and types of social regulation and protest. This interest is rooted in the emergence and evolution of popular culture and the historic assertions of socio-political movements across the circuits of social media, then as now.”
Please drop by for this opportunity to hear more about this body of work from the artist themselves – no booking is necessary and all are very welcome.
