Office For Joint Administrative Intelligence
For the past seven years, Irish artist Gary Farrelly has been engaged in the Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence, with German artist Chris Dreier. This month sees their return to Dublin with two performances, the first of which takes place at the Hugh Lane. Commissioned by Padraic E Moore as part of the gallery’s I’ll Be Your Mirror program – a response to the Andy Warhol exhibition – this piece delves into their distinct bureaucratic and ritualistic approach to hero worship. This performance is likely to whet appetites for the duo’s participation in the upcoming Alternating Currents Festival, which takes place over the long weekend, ably stewarded by the ever-capable Dublin Digital Radio. hughlane.ie
