Townhall Arts Centre Gallery and Cavan Arts present:

74 Summers

Brigid Mulligan presents a new body of work that explores grief through process-based rituals. ‘74 Summers’ includes monumental artwork and experimental film with community at its core. The exhibition will include a life-sized cyanotype print installation titled ‘My Father’s Tractor’.

In creating this monumental four-sided installation, the artist considers the importance of remembering as they come to terms with loss. ‘74 Summers’, an experimental film, explores communal grieving and the ritual of fire. This immersive film involves the artist and the community building the monumental tractor, then burning it. The hope is to create spaces for active remembering where grief can be explored in creative contexts.

Brigid Mulligan is a visual artist from County Longford. Her work has been exhibited at Queen Street Studios, Belfast; Pallas, Projects & Studios, Dublin; and Artlink Fort Dunree, Donegal. She received awards from the Co. Galway Arts Office, Culture Moves Europe, and the Arts Council of Ireland. Residencies include Fish Factory, Iceland, Interface, Inagh, Galway & Cavan Townhall Arts Centre Studio.
