We hope you will be able to Join us for a drink to celebrate the exhibition opening and publication launch Migratory Lines on Wednesday 5th of June at Broadcast Gallery, Dublin Institute of Technology, Portland Row, Dublin.
Aislinn White and Alan Cusack set up a research responsive project in January 2013. Since then, they have been working with ornithological scientists in applying drawing methods to decipher flyways and corridors, amongst the vast, yet indefinite, data and theory around migrating birds. The resulting exhibition, Migratory Lines, was formed through a number of public workshops in central London, from scientific experiments held in European research institutes, and the artists’ own work towards an alternative cartography for tracking migration. Through this project, White and Cusack show how drawing is used as a means to investigate and explore possibilities within this scientific research, as well as highlighting some of the common relations, methods and limitations within such partnerships.
Migratory Lines: Navigating Across Disciplines, a publication edited by Aislinn White and Rosie Wanek, documents the participation of 10 international thinkers and practitioners from a wide selection of disciplines. It records their approaches and responses to the idea of a migratory line, including navigation, mapping and the representation of movement.
Migratory Lines will be on show in Broadcast Gallery until the 19th June 2013
