About the event
FARMWORK presents a selection of Deirdre O’Mahony’s artworks made over the past ten years, reflecting on her interest in the politics of landscape, rural sustainability and food security, challenging mainstream narratives around agricultural matters and policy.
Location: Void Art Centre, 10 Waterloo Pl, Londonderry BT48 6BU, UK
In this project three distinct bodies of work expand on questions prompted by the artist’s research into the history of agricultural development. Trial + Error reflects upon the efforts of one man, John Silke, to build up the seed potato industry in Donegal. FARM is comprised of a photographic and text installation of small farms in Ireland, UK and USA, including a new selection of image/texts from Northern Irish farmers. At the heart of the exhibition The Quickening, a sound and moving image artwork, reflects on the relationship between farming, food production, and the social and economic impact of agricultural policies on soil, biodiversity, and climate change.
