We are delighted to announce our 2023 Graduate Residency Awardee is Aoife Ní Dhuinn!
Aoife Ní Dhuinn (Aoife Dunne) is a Dublin based visual artist, who recently graduated from the National College of Art and Design with a First-Class BA degree in Fine Art Media. Ní Dhuinn completed her graduate show project in June, and was awarded the Fire Station Studios Sculpture Graduate Award 2023. Ní Dhuinns work is currently being exhibited in OUTSET Gallery in Galway, as part of the ‘Recent Graduate’ exhibition, running from August 18th-Sep 3rd.
Ní Dhuinns practice is generally centred around culture, words and existential feelings. Her work explores the boundaries between digital and physical spaces through recontextualising digital ephemera. Ní Dhuinn’s expanded practice clinically examines the absurd relationships we have with technology through a satirical lens, manifested as manipulated images, artefact-like objects and moving image. Taking inspiration from post-internet art and culture, her work blurs the line between image and object, and aims to create uncanny spaces through the use of high contrast flash photography and clinical installations.
As well as her individual practice, Ní Dhuinn makes up one half of a collaborative practice with artist Falon Weaver, which documents collective exchanges through installation, public interventions and publications. Their most recent show ‘Shitposting From The Cryosphere’ (2022) took place in The Atrium Space at NCAD, and included sculpture, textiles and mixed media work.
We will welcome Aoife in to the studio in September where she will complete a residency and develop a show for the Ormond Project Space in October! !
