Rita Duffy and Paul Muldoon have created a visual and verbal collaboration titled Cloth as part of the Interrogating Contested Spaces in Post-Conflict Society project. The aim is to create dialogue between rural and urban disputed places, between creator and viewer, between visual and verbal interpretations. Duffy is a Belfast artist whose work is intensely personal with overtones of the surreal. Homage is paid to the language of magic realism and always there is exquisite crafting of materials. Muldoon, multi-award winning poet, interacts with the paintings through his prose.
There will be a rencontre with Paul Muldoon at the Centre Culturel Irlandais on Thursday 22nd May at 19h30.
