An Exhibition in Five Chapters
In the small library of the Info Lab in the CAC DeBuitlear presents The Found Bookmark Collection Vilnius. The piece consists of objects left between the pages of books in libraries in Vilnius. He visited libraries throughout the city collecting several hundred objects including receipts, 40-year-old envelopes, hair-pins and a love letter addressed to “my dear cabbage”. On view in the CAC is a selection from this collection, each item containing its own personal story.
An Exhibition in 5 Chapters / Flax Residency Article
I'm off to Vilnius on Monday to create an installation continuing my project "The Found Bookmark Archive". I'll be collecting objects from Library books around the city which will then be on show in the Contemporary Art Centre.
I've also just finished a year long residency at Flax Art Studios in Belfast. I've written an article about my time there which was published in the Visual Artist's Newsheet and which I have attached. I have moved back to Dublin and will be looking for studio here shortly.

I've thought about doing a piece like this before but it seemed too simple or obvious but I think this piece is amazing.

In Dublin - 1999. Off Site Commission. Project Arts Centre, Dublin
A one tonne sphere of solid bitumen, collapses through a circular aperture, pulled down by the force of gravity into the space below. Relayed back to the viewer on CCTV, or captured by Polaroid film, the spectacle exists just outside of a normal visual register of change. It maps the transformation of the object and the space that it moves between.
