Book Launch: Maeve Connolly
The Details!
Darklight is delighted to host the launch of the new book by author and academic Maeve Connolly.
Darklight and the National Film School at IADT are delighted to co-host the launch of a new book by Maeve Connolly, entitled The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen. Published by Intellect and University of Chicago Press, the book explores the relationship between cinema and contemporary art over the past decade, extending from projected multi-screen narratives to site-specific films and sculptural installations exploring the architecture of the movie theatre. In addition to chapters dealing with theoretical frameworks and the marketplace, the book features illustrated, in-depth critical readings of recent works by twenty-four artists, including Gerard Byrne, Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Willie Doherty, Isaac Julien, Jaki Irvine, Shirin Neshat and Anne Tallentire. The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen will be launched by filmmaker Joe Lawlor (desperate optimists).
