Concerning the Other is a collaborative art project that took place over ten weeks during the summer of 2017. It involved ten contemporary artists working together on one hundred pieces of art, to promote diversity and concern for minorities in these days of mounting racism and intolerance.
The artists involved were: James Hanley R.H.A, Brian Fay, Claire Halpin, Joanna Kidney, Eoin Mac Lochlainn, Gail Ritchie, Miriam McConnon, Kate Murphy, Ben Readman and Susanne Wawra, and the project was curated by Olivier Cornet, Claire Halpin and Eoin Mac Lochlainn.
It began as a virtual project as the artists were invited to create an initial image which was then emailed on to the next artist in the group. The second artist responded by working over it and then emailing it on to the third artist who also responded and passed it on. The process continued until each of the ten artists had worked on each of the ten images. It was a creative and engaging experience for the artists involved, each gaining a lot from encountering the varied working methods and creative processes of the other artists.
The final ten artworks along with a selected number of ‘in-between’ prints will be exhibited at the Olivier Cornet Gallery from 10th September to 6th October 2017. The exhibition entitled ‘Concerning the Other’ will be opened on Sunday 10th September 3pm by RHA Director Patrick T. Murphy. It will also feature individual works by the participating artists.
