A Body With A Voice
Cian Mc Conn
15th – 19th December 2009
An experimental exhibition by Cian Mc Conn – Objects and elements from McConn’s practice were sent to Basement Project Space in a large envelope from New York, with instructions. Relating in many ways to 1960′s Conceptual art practices, Cian included instructions for the installers to hang the work in the dark with one hand. The idea is to loose a certain amount of control, of the aesthetic decision making process.

Basement Project Space Hosted
‘The Unmotivated Artist Collective’ from Holland for one night
4th December 2009 at the LV bar on McCurtain street Cork city.
The OKC (Ongemotiveerd Kunstenaars Collectief ) is a group of young Dutch artists with a refreshing view of the world. Through
performances combined with music and video art they want to show their view on topics such as sexuality, intimacy, and perversity feminism to our audience. And this always in a humorous and unstrained way.
