Talk to the LandAuthor: Ellie O'Byrne
UK artists Mel Jordan and Andy Hewitt, founders of the Partisan Social Club, have been on the trail of 19th century Cork philosopher and radical social reformer William Thompson, who not only inspired Marx, founded the idea of social science and wrote the first ever feminist text by a man in the English language, but who attempted to form a communal living experiment in West Cork in the 1820s.

"On the one hand, you can identify with them. You can see the hand of a human being. But, on the other hand, the time frame is so huge that you can't really comprehend it." Barbara Knežević's practice explores the meaning and purpose of objects. When she learned of the Lepenski Vir archaeological discovery on the banks of the River Danube in the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia, and the curious monumental sculptures, half humanoid and half fish, created there 10,000 years ago, connections between ideas of nationhood and displacement, as well as her quest to discover the drive behind material creation, gave rise to the production of her first film, Gvozdene Kapije (The Iron Gates), and a set of related sculptures.
