Eva Richardson McCrea
Working across video, sculpture and photography Eva Richardson McCrea’s practice takes specific sites as points of departure into exploring the politics of the built environment and its role in the production of contemporary subjectivities and social relations. Layering both real and fictional elements, and borrowing conventions from television, documentary, cinema, and theatre, her work draws on a range of source material from philosophy and current affairs to the language of advertising and aspirational living.
Eva Richardson McCrea has exhibited work at Project Arts Centre, Dublin; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut; and Composite, Melbourne, among others.

Helen Anna Flanagan
Helen Anna Flanagan works across video, installation, performance, and writing. She investigates social structures and the political subtext of the everyday, focusing on affect, emotion, labour, and the body. Employing a loaded visual language shaped by popular culture and her working-class background, Flanagan examines how we navigate our place within society and construct our understanding of ourselves and others. Through this lens, she brings to life eccentric characters, exploring the anxieties, desires, and fantasies that animate them.
Helen Anna Flanagan has exhibited work at FACT Liverpool, United Kingdom; WIELS Centre for Contemporary Art, Belgium; and IKOB Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgium, among others.
