Brigid Teehan’s art practice involves working with people, places and situations where she is operating at various levels of creative direction, organisational structure; curation and production.
Her strategy has been to test how an artist might exist in spheres of life outside the art world such as businesses, workplaces, schools, mental health settings, communities of interest, and empty buildings. At the same time attempting to bring that work back to the contemporary art context.
Some work has been about supporting individuals, creating networks or developing new organisations over significant lengths of time. Projects can also be lengthy and multi-layered such as Waiting for Me, Outpatients Area of South Tipperary General Hospital.
Artforms vary from physical objects, film, installation or producing exhibitions or collaborative events as part of the South Tipperary Positive Mental Health Festival, Clonmel Busking Festival or Clonmel Applefest.
