Serving as a point of entry into the artist’s practice, this performance-lecture considers two commentaries on Conceptual Art and administration: “Art 1962–1969: From the Aesthetic of Administration to the Critique of Institutions” by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, and “Paperwork: Conceptual Art and the ‘Pink-Collar’ Worker” by Anna Lovatt. Harty notes, despite Conceptual Art’s much-discussed “aesthetic of administration”, this movement hasn't been extensively analysed in relation to the changing conditions of clerical work during the United States post-war period. By the 1960s, administrative labour had shifted from a white-collar to a “pink-collar” profession, confounding earlier categorizations of labour and social class. Buchloh’s essay implicitly understands administrative work as the domain of the Professional Managerial Class (PMC), whereas Lovatt’s engages the experience of the ordinary administrative worker. Harty responds to these propositions reflecting on the spaces of work of the cultural / artist worker, and will include screenings of her works': Irish Jobs for Irish Robots, 2017 (video, 4”57’), Tech Guy Spiel, 2022 (video, 8”40’), and SOB and Real Abstraction, 2021 (video, 5”25’ - Catherine Harty/ John Thompson).

Through three distinct projects, the 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘀 event examines how contemporary art practices can operate within healthcare contexts to create spaces for reflection, sensory engagement, and connection. The work foregrounds methodologies rooted in duration, attentiveness, and ethical engagement, and reflects on the role of the artist as collaborator, witness, and facilitator within clinical and community-based healthcare environments.

This event includes: A performance lecture by 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲 that describes methodologies of artistic research within art and health contexts. Through the use of images and reading of excerpts from a responsive text written by Marielle MacLeman, Emma describes how an artist can work in this space.
An activation of 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆’s work, The Ballad of a Care Centre, which weaves together verbatim oral histories of older Irish men and women that forms a newly distilled narrative of a comfortably familiar yet deeply unsettling Ireland.
A screening of a short documentary film unpacking the Arts & Health project You Are Here, a collaboration between 𝗬𝘃𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗻 and Manuela Corbari. This project brought the restorative power of nature into the hospital setting through an immersive sensory experience. With an opportunity for Q&A around project development, delivery and findings.

Thursday, 26 March 2026, 1PM, NCAD Gallery. Duration: 45 minutes.

Jye’s lecture preparation is inspired by the work he has completed with the State University of Rio de Janeiro on decolonial approaches to sound and the destablisation of bodies. This performance lecture with accompanying sound draws on an article that he is publishing for a special edition of Concinnitas (https://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/concinnitas/index) titled: Listening Practices: Body, Image, and Sound as Transdisciplinary Fields.

Situated in the NCAD Gallery/ Foyer, the work functions as a guided meditation through a soundscape that examines the porosity of bodies when confronted with sonic infrastructure. This will use a mixture of modular synthesis and field recordings collected between Dublin and Rio.

As a filmmaker & commercial director, Rory is interested in engaging with AI to better understand the tools, process and capabilities of the powerful emerging platforms that produce still & moving images.

In the summer of 2025, Rory spent a few months exploring high-quality, cinematic, and artistic image generation tools, Midjourney & Google Gemini to work out how he felt about these new tools, and how he might use them.

He created a suite of short films as he tried to understand the limitations and possibilities of generative AI. Over the summer Rory became increasingly aware how important it was to reflect on the content that has been used to train these tools - and how this content informs and limits what the AI platforms can produce.

As he experimented with these tools a series of bigger questions arose for him. What are these tools for? What is the purpose of generative AI video tools in the context of the broader AI picture? Can a machine create cinematic experiences? Will people ever want to see a two hour movie made with no people or cameras?!

‘The dominant system doesn’t dominate because most people agree with it, it dominates because we can’t imagine an alternative’
(Duncombe and Lambert, 2021: 319).

“WE CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR FUTURE ART INSTITUTIONS” is both a statement and a demand that responds to the urgency of the polycrisis the art institution faces.
It is also a refusal. It refuses to accept that there is no alternative, that we cannot imagine things otherwise.

The participants will debate emergent practices and make propositions for the future art institution that encompass values that are anathema to those that shape our current cultural policies.
These alternative values include (but are not limited to): collectivity, solidarity, sustainability, study, the undercommons, situated knowledge and infrastructural critique.

𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗗 𝗠𝗔/𝗠𝗙𝗔 𝗔𝗿𝘁 & 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, working with Dr Emma Mahony, have devised four unlearning exercises specifically for NCAD. They will deliver these exercises with the participation of staff and students who are invited to enrol in the NCAD School for Un/learning. Upon completion of the exercises participants will be awarded a certificate of failure.

Unlearning is both a discourse and a practice that involves the critical appraisal of accepted “truths”, power relations and practices, as well as an appraisal of the role the individual plays within this matrix.

The purpose of The NCAD School for Unlearning is to apply unlearning to NCAD to unpack, unsettle and undo any unjust habits and attitudes. Workshops are additionally supported by Anne Kelly, Curator.
