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.
I'm an experienced community musician with a specialism in devised, collaborative work. I have substantial experience working with schools and adult mental health groups and am particularly interested in developing arts and health work with adults. I have built a group resource in the form of The Good Vibrations Orchestra, a set of extremely accessible tuned instruments, gongs, percussion and electronics which I use for much of my work.
I generally work with people who don't consider themselves to be 'musicians' and encourage active, creative input from participants.
