The artist will be in conversation with Matt Packer, Curator of Exhibitions + Projects at 1pm, today, Thursday April 22nd. Admission Fee.
As part of his research for the project, Mc Hugh spent time at UCC photographing laboratories and specimens in the departments of Chemistry and Zoology, Ecology and Plant Sciences. The first part of the project consists of a series of black and white watercolour drawings that will be integrated into the displays of the Thingamajig exhibition. The drawings respond to the exhibition themes of how objects are collected, narrated, and transformed over time as well as representing the artist’s ongoing interest in the psychology of imagery. The second part of the project will be a limited edition artist book, to be published in late 2010.
