Emer O'Brien Studio
Skarleth Arcia's Company Details
Founded in 2003, Emer O'Brien Studio operates with an atelier approach. Fundamentally committed to observing and promoting analogue systems of recording the work made is appropriate for the ideas under consideration whether that is photography, film or sound. Known for her installations with a background in photography, her work is primarily concerned with the dark side of Modernity: urban decay, social failure, abandonment and alienation. It refers to a particular relationship to time, one characterised by intense historical discontinuity or rupture, openness to the novelty of the future, and a heightened sensitivity to what is unique about the present. \\Projects include gallery exhibitions, site specific installations, awards and commissions, photography assignments and bespoke workshops and lectures.\\Emer was born in Dublin and raised in Toronto. Since 1998 she has lived and worked in London. She received her BA (Hons) from Oxford Brookes University followed by an MA at Goldsmiths, University London and then studied at the London Consortium. She has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally including Laura Mars Gallery (Berlin), Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery (London), The Wapping Project (London), The Whitechapel Gallery (London), The Royal Academy (London), Williamson Art Gallery & Museum (Birkenhead), Kunsthal KaDe (Amsterdam), The Dutch Textile Museum (Tilberg), National Gallery (Prague), and Art Platform LA (Los Angeles). Her work is held in a number of notable private collections.
