ARTIST TALK: Elize de Beer in Conversation with Dr Angela Griffith

Saturday, 28 March
2-3pm
Cork Public Museum, Fitzgerald Park,
Cork City, T12 V0AA

Join the in-depth discussion with artist Elize de Beer and Dr Angela Griffith, Assistant Professor of History of Art and Architecture at Trinity College Dublin, in Cork Public Museum on Saturday 28 March from 2-3pm as part of Elize’s solo exhibition Biscuit Tin Nostalgia. Elize and Angela will be reflecting on the exhibition and key ideas around land and archival research within Elize’s artistic practice.

All welcome and no booking required

‘Biscuit Tin Nostalgia’ presents a new body of work developed through engagement with the Liam Kennedy photographic archive at University College Cork Special Collections and Archives. de Beer offers a glimpse into the recent history and lived memory of Cork by exploring an archive which documents the daily life of Corkonians from the 1930s through the 1980s. Much like de Beer’s encounters with an unfamiliar landscape when she first arrived in Cork from South Africa, her engagement with the archive was navigated by seeking and creating connections. de Beer forms a speculative nostalgic connection to the material, reimagining place and history through landscape, photographic fragments, and archival traces across photo etchings, mixed media works, and artist books.
