Jesse Jones is one of Ireland’s leading visual artists. Her practice reflects and re-presents historical moments of collective resistance and dissent. In her films and videos she explores the gesture of the revolutionary action.Jones’ work takes many forms from gallery based film and installation to large-scale public events, she has collaborated with diverse groups from Opera singers and marching bands to activists. She has recently completed a year long fellowship at Location One, New York. She has just completed a solo show in RedCat Los Angeles and a new commission for Collective gallery in Edinburgh. She has shown internationally at the 9th Istanbul Bienniale 2009, and Nought to Sixty at the ICA, London. Upcoming exhibitions include Artsonje Centre, Seoul, in 2013.
Jesse Jones’ work is screened as part of a collaboration between the Corona Cork Film Festival and the National Sculpture Factory. We are jointly delighted to present the European premiere of Jesse’s new film ‘The Struggle Against Ourselves’, a trilogy of her earlier work, and to host her in conversation.
