Brian Duggan lives and works in Dublin, where his practice continues to re-examine the role and function of the individual. By arranging at times illogical actions, the artist tests boundaries and rules that make up lived experience. Familiar landscapes are reconsidered in relation to stress that is unrelenting but hidden. Tension in the ordinary brings forth real and imagined anxiety and also physical practical problems. Solo exhibitions have included ‘Atelier portes Ouvertes’ (Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris 2007), ‘More Often than Most’ (Pallas Heights, Dublin 2005), ‘During the Meanwhile’ (Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin 2005). Group exhibitions include ‘The Lucifer Effect’ (Primo Alonso, London, 2007), ‘Fully Loaded’ (K3, Zürich, 2006), Braziers International (UK 2006). Brian is also the co-founder and co-director of Pallas since 1996 and he curates several exhibitions each year with Mark Cullen and Gavin Murphy at Pallas.
