As a curator Aoife Tunney is interested in situational aesthetics as posited by Victor Burgin, where the details and context of the exhibition site play a large part in the nature of the objects made and shown there. Her practice involves collaborative and off-site exhibitions, providing alternative venues for the viewer, where the rules of representation are not gallery or museum specific. As an exhibition maker she engages in sociological and institutional critique. Her practice attempts to bring current political and social issues to the fore through her choice of site for that work. Her current project, 'Work-in-space' investigates human motivation and interaction and with labour, using art to intervene and challenge the state of our current work crisis and stereotypical notions of the working space.
