Reuben Brown’s practice is a response to the precarity of nightlife infrastructures and shifting cultural conditions across Ireland, and within wider European contexts. Reuben’s ongoing research project and club-collective club [construction] positions the club as a critical site of both preservation and generation.

Working through a post-club methodology, he approaches the queer club archive, not simply as a site of excavation, but as a site to be actively constructed within.

Through the combination of archival inquiry, with autoethnographic reflection, fieldwork and critical writing practices, his work engages the club-space as a site of embodied knowledge production, to think about memory as a collective and lived condition, and to consider what this might reveal about queer futurity, inheritance, failure, legacy and utopian possibility.

ABOUT THE WORK
On silent air is a new edition of works the size of a handheld tablet by Charys Wilson. The plants and flowers featured in this edition of 10 individual works have been sourced from the immediate vicinity of The Living House, North Belfast; a collaboration between Household and MMAS Architects to inhabit and re-animate the building as a site for artistic and social exchange They create domestic landscapes intended for the home, which, through recycled polarised TV screens, provide partly obscured glimpses of organic growth. On silent air speaks of a mediated, digitalised, and disembodied experience of accessing a rapidly fading, tactile natural world through a technological interface.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Charys Wilson’s practice centres on installation and small-scale sculptural works. Drawing on a background in printmaking, her attention is often directed towards alignment, layering and the subtle relationships between materials, light and space. Elements of the outside are brought indoors, creating quiet encounters through illusion, mimicry, light and shadow.
