Andrew Duggan "Court"
Irish Arts Center
This event has ended.
In his latest multimedia project, "Court," Andrew Duggan explores the sport of handball—which is Irish in origin—with juxtaposed videos of handball courts in Ireland and New York. A familiar feature of the urban landscape and informal social gathering place, the handball court in the context of the gallery becomes a meeting point for two cultures.
Andrew Duggan lives in the West Kerry Gaeltacht and was the first artist to be awarded the prestigious Arts Council of Ireland Location One residency fellowship in New York City in 2005-06. His work has been presented in Philadelphia, Italy, Slovakia, Lithuania, and New York. He studied at the Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork; the National College of Arts and Design, Dublin; and the University of Ulster, Belfast.
This program is presented as part of Imagine Ireland, Culture Ireland's year of Irish arts in America in 2011.
