Fiona Chambers & Aideen Doran
6 – 21 March 2015
Opening 6 – 9pm, Thursday 5 March
After Hours combines sculptural, video and installation works resulting from a collaborative investigation into the collapsing distinctions between labour and leisure in late capitalism. This work considers the dual role of the artist as both a producer and a labourer in an information economy, exploring the potential of the artist’s labour to resist the imperative of productivity and to subvert the purposes of technology.
Fiona Chambers studied at NCAD in Dublin and Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Her practice is concerned with societal systems and trends, information flows within mass culture and mediated constructions of meaning. She works in a variety of media from drawing, painting and collage to video and performance.
