ABOUT
Join us on Thursday the 21st of May as we head to Mill Theatre to catch A4 member Ger’s exhibition ‘The Conference of Birds’. We’re going to meet there for 2pm. I hope you can make it! – Please RSVP.
“Gerard O’Brien is the artist and co-designer for the ‘Conference of Birds’ project with the Elders and Floating World Productions. In keeping with the theme of the production, he has produced a series of pencil (graphite and colour) drawings, A4 in size, of Irish endangered birds – those on the Red List. The birds are often placed at the edge of the paper as if only glimpsed – perhaps we only have glimpses of many of these species left.
His aim in making these works was twofold, they both celebrate the diversity and richness of these species while the sheer number of drawings (over fifty) is a stark reminder of the seriousness of situation we face.”
