Vidoecity visits Manchester Loneliness I - Into The Blue

Curated by Lynn Murphy

The exhibition brings together existing and newly commissioned works on the theme of Loneliness by established and emerging Irish artists. The artists Myrid Carten, Orla McHardy, Alice Rekab and Lynn Murphy’s works all reflect an extreme awareness of oneself and the world around them. The title Into The Blue, is a journey into creating ambient spaces which convey a sense of lacking or longing for a person or place using moving image and video. Bringing works together under this theme puts emphasis on the ephemeral and transient nature of our lives. It tentatively asks the viewer to consider vulnerability and loneliness as vessels from which to view the world.
