Sarah
Browne (b.1981, Dublin) is an artist currently based in rural northwest
Ireland. Her practice addresses ecologies of place and displacement
through the circulation of people, products and social behaviours.
This process is often carried out with the participation of a community
where it is based, or creates a fictional or temporary community
for itself. An interest in design, craft, and hobbies prompts subtle
interventions into existing objects and surfaces (sofas, wallpaper,
handknitted sweaters). The redistribution and use of these objects,
often through the formation of gift economies on an intimate scale,
highlights particular social contexts. Parallel to her art practice
is the development of a body of research and critical writing. She
regularly publishes projects, articles and reviews for Irish publications
such as Circa,
Contexts, and The
Visual Artist’s Newsheet
Sarah Browne was recommended by Mick O’Kelly, artist and lecturer at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Sarah Browne's residency is supported in part by a Travel & Mobility Grant from the Irish Arts Council
