James Lynch
Will be creating a new video work for the screen at World Square, Haymarket. Lynch works across a range of media including drawing, installation, painting and animation. His video work combines film footage with overlayed drawings and paintings which he animates. Through this montage effect, he highlights the mediated construct we all inhabit, and the ambiguities of the subconscious. Recently Lynch created a series of artworks and animations based on dreams in which he has appeared.

The projection of Lynch’s work will provide an potent juxtaposition at a site which is so fiercely capitalistic and sterile. The idea of a protest or march loosely influenced by the Peter Sellers 1968 comedy 'The Party' will inform the production of the new work for World Square. James Lynch will explore the idea of a constructed truth and marginalised left in relation to the city and its leadership, subtly questioning what progress and democracy mean in the light of individual aspirations and anxieties. Lynch’s enacted mixed media narratives will be played out in a short animation to the corporate thoroughfare of World Square, punctuating individual journeys with an alternative march.

Screening 4pm - 12am every evening in June.
