The Agent Ria is delighted to present the Scottish premiere of video works from international Irish artists, Michelle Deignan, Clodagh Emoe, Martin Healy and Alan Phelan.
Whether relaying universal themes and morals, or speciï¬c social and cultural idiosyncrasies, myths and traditions have a particularly rich and shared history across Scotland and Ireland.
Taking the form of a 1 hour ‘fringe’ show within a festival venue, this off-site screening presents works that express the current significance of artists exploring traditional methods and means: examining popular myths and stereotypes, shared experience and personal legacy.
The Agent Ria:registeredinart is an internet channel for contemporary artist video, sound and documented performance works.
