Marie Brett The Hidden Mountain, the Fort and the Five Trees   Launch Event SIRIUS 9 April, 2-4pm Free; no booking required   SIRIUS is launching Marie Brett’s exhibition The Hidden Mountain, the Fort and the Five Trees with a panel discussion featuring Brett, Miguel Amado and Joanne Laws. They are discussing the artist’s approach to research and collection of material, both physical and intangible; her collaborative process; her intellectual references; the themes of the works on view; and the curatorial approach used to organise this exhibition. This session facilitates a critical review of Brett’s practice, repositioning and furthering her idiosyncratic voice and style within the Irish art scene. Miguel Amado is the director of SIRIUS and the exhibition’s curator.   Joanne Laws is a critic, contributing to magazines such as Art Monthly and Frieze as well as exhibition catalogues, and the editor of the Visual Artists’ News Sheet from Visual Artists Ireland.   Marie Brett, preparatory study for Ritual of Stone and Water: Pilgrimage to the Ninth Wave Multiverse, 2022.
