RHA Talk — FUTURE ACADEMIES: ELECTRONIC SHEEP

About

The RHA is the longest-running artist collective on the island of Ireland, and this series of talks intends to reference some of the initial values of the academy forming, such as community, collectivity and belonging to a group, in looking at new models of artist collectives or communities of interest.

Electronic Sheep was established in 1998 by NCAD alumni and multi-disciplinary artists Brenda Aherne and Helen Delany. The duo’s distinct approach comprises drawings and typographic jacquards based on narrative storylines based on their personal lives and professional practices. Electronic Sheep are keen collaborators, regularly working with artists, historians and activists, often to the benefit of social initiatives and charitable agencies.
