On Wed 16th July 18:30-19:30 we’ll be joined by Finn Nichol as the first guest artist in this series! Come along to learn about Finn’s practice. If you are interested, please RSVP below. These talks are open to the public so invite your friends!

Finn Nichol is an Offaly-based artist whose practice spans sound, installation, performance, and video. He won the RDS Taylor Art Prize for his Sculpture & Combined Media degree at LSAD (2021), and the Catalyst Graduate Award for his MFA at Belfast School of Art (2024). His work has been shown across Ireland as well as at festivals and exhibitions in Venice, Athens, Tokyo, and Barcelona.

In recent work, Nichol embodies spirits of neoliberal Ireland, performing strange, solitary rituals that link mythological transformation to the country’s shifting relationship with capitalism and colonialism. His work frequently incorporates DIY elements in the form of handmade costumes, music and lo-fi animations. Humour is wielded as a tool for engaging with heavy subject matter while characters occur and reoccur across different mediums to embody an archetypal quality. 

His recent solo show, Operation Transformation, explores media as a mirror for Irish Catholic values and attitudes towards austerity politics.
