Gareth Kennedy is an artist based in Ireland. Kennedy’s work explores the social agency of the handcrafts in the 21st century and generates ’communities of interest’ around the production and performance of new material cultures. Deploying an anthropological approach as an operational aesthetic these works draw on the particular social, cultural and economic histories of a location. Outcomes typically include films, Printed material, architectural or designed structures, hand crafted objects, as well as live performative events, which bring these physical entities to life within specific public contexts.

Kennedy also works on another distinct artistic practice called Kennedy Browne in collaboration with artist Sarah Browne.

Kennedy has produced and shown work both nationally and internationally. His practice to date includes public art work, educational projects, exhibitions, residencies and collaborations. In 2009, he co-represented Ireland at the 53rd Venice Biennale along with artist Sarah Browne.

During his visit in the Center he visited a few historical and national museums, and met with a few artists and curators for a research which is intended to lead to a future local project with the Center. 

An artist talk in which Kennedy presented his work was held at the Center
