Sarah Edmondson
Sarah Edmondson is a research-based, multi-disciplinary artist, originally from Waterford but working in Dublin. She graduated from NCAD with an MFA in Fine Art, Sculpture and Expanded Practice, 2020. She also holds a BA (Hons) in Art and Design Education, 2012, and a BA (Hons) in the History of Art and Sociology, 2007. Recent exhibitions include ‘Gormworm’; at Tapir Gallery, Berlin, ‘Dog Days’; at Alalimon Galeria, Barcelona, and ‘[Hu]Manned Mission’; at the Lumen Crypt Gallery, London.
Sarah’s work is informed by her education and her dual role as an artist and art educator in society. She is, thus, interested in the evolution of knowledge and the impact photography and cinema have on our understanding of the universe. When displaying her work she appropriates the modes of mediation used by institutions and museums in order to challenge the hierarchical and patriarchal structures surrounding the acquisition of knowledge. This has led her to conduct performance lectures and create pseudoscientific zines. Her practice is founded in the new media and disciplines of the Fluxus artists and inspired by contemporary artists such as Hito Steyerl and Natascha Sadr Haghighian.
