The MLP x The Complex writer-in-residence programme is aimed at early-career visual arts writers based in Ireland. This programme is designed to help writers develop their practice by inviting them to produce up to five new responses to the exhibitions and events programme at The Complex in Dublin.
"We’re excited to publish the second draft of Jessica Foley’s Complex Draft series in response to Residues of the Garden of Eden, at The Complex by Joanne Reid and Ben Weir, curated by Mark O’Gorman and Debi Paul.
At a moment when the future of The Complex is under threat, this text feels especially urgent. It captures what makes a cultural space matter beyond bricks and mortar, like the relationships, conversations, risks, laughter, and shared labour that turn a building into a home.
Draft II reflects how The Complex has embodied a way of making rooted in slowness and collective practice, and where people gather to think and make together. It stands as a record of what has been built there, and why it matters to protect spaces like this.
Draft II will be read as part of SERIES 04 this Thursday 18th of December at 7 pm @kirkos_ensemble. You’re in for a treat."
