Exhibition curators Yuko Hasegawa, Artistic Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, and Rachel Thomas, Senior Curator; Head of Exhibitions, IMMA, invite a selected panel of artists to discuss their featured work and commissions in the exhibition Desire: A Revision from the 20th Century to the Digital Age. The relationship between desire, intimacy, politics, technology and utopianism will be explored within the realms of contemporary art practice. The artists taking part in this discussion include Genieve Figgis, Seiha Kurosawa, Tschabalala Self and Eddie Peake
Desire: A Revision from the 20th Century to the Digital Age is the third in a trilogy of major international group exhibitions devised by IMMA to explore universal themes and their representation through art from the 20th and 21st centuries. In 2015, the first of these exhibitions, What We Call Love, From Surrealism to Now, looked at how notions of love have evolved in art, and in 2017, the second, As Above, So Below: Portals, Visions, Spirits & Mystics, examined how the spiritual endures in our everyday lives.
This talk is the first in a series of Culture Night events taking place at IMMA on Friday 20th September that includes the exhibition preview, drinks reception and music.
Desire: A Revision is proudly supported by Kildare Village.
