Artist Talk and Reception: Wednesday, June 19, 6 – 9 p.m.

AGREEMENT, a new exhibition featuring artworks from Irish artist Amanda Dunsmore’s research-intensive practice that investigates societal transformation via portraiture.

Following the signing of the Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement on April 10, 1998, Dunsmore began a dedicated practice of filming video portraits of each of the fourteen signatories – a creative process that took two decades to complete. The resulting artwork, AGREEMENT (2004 – 2023) asks for a similarly committed viewership: seeing the work in its entirety would require weekly visits, as each portrait is being screened for a single week during the fourteen-week exhibition.
