Writing Workshop Exhibition at P.S.1 MOMA

February 11, 2010 — February 27, 2010

Glass I…

The Writing Workshop will exhibit an installation of work by four of its members in the vitrines at the cafe in P.S.1 MOMA from February 11th to 27th 2010.

Based in Dublin, Ireland since 2007 and supported by Thisisnotashop Gallery, The Writing Workshop has become an open hub for people to explore & develop writing. The Workshop is catalysed by a shared desire to explore the expansive & pervasive possibilities of text & words, particularly when expanded through transdisciplinary arts practices. Each of the Vitrines at P.S.1 Cafe will contain individual work specifically developed in response to the particular space of exhibition (the glass vitrine) by Áine Ivers, Jessica Foley, Susan Thomson & Jessamyn Fiore.

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center Opening Hours Thursday through Monday, 12-6pm
Address: 22-25 Jackson Ave at the intersection of 46th Ave
Long Island City, NY 11101

Behind the glass you will find…

Free Energy City by Áine Ivers. Through text and drawing an imaginary ecological town is depicted. A lost lover guides us through streets where houses photosynthesize and wolves roam freely…

Allegory for Occupation by Jessica Foley sketches rough outlines of an experience in a crumbling workhouse in the midlands of Ireland, agitating currents of history & myth…

Susan Thomson’s The Swimming Diaries, excerpts from a 25,000 word book where each word corresponds to a stroke swum during the month when her mother was dying

Jessamyn Fiore’s remnants and text memory from a month spent living in the wilds of Patagonia, Chile, as well as A Play About Lee Lozano.
