About the artist
 

Sinéad O’Donnell (b. 1975, Dublin, Ireland) has worked in performance, installation, site and time-based art for the past 25 years. Her work explores identity, borders and barriers through encounters with territory. O’Donnell sets up actions or situations that demonstrate complexities, contradictions or commonalities between medium and discipline, timing and spontaneity, intuition and methodology, artist and audience. She uses photography, video, text and collage to record her performances.

Based in Belfast, O’Donnell studied sculpture at the University of Ulster, textiles in Dublin and visual performance and time-based practices at Dartington College of Arts, UK. She was lead artist and curator for CAUTION, an Unlimited commission as part of the London 2012 Festival. O’Donnell received a Major Artist Award in 2017/18 from Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
