The Art and Science of Linen
Thursday 22 February, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Suitability: 14+
Free
Join artists Anna Dumitriu and Alex May in conversation following a showing of the video artwork “The Art and Science of Linen”.
This video artwork was created by Anna, Alex, and microbiologist Dr John Paul, with sound by Martin A. Smith. It looks at the whole ecology of linen production from the bacteria used to break down the flax in retting tanks, to the industrial production of linen and its cultural importance. Hear about heritage crafts, such as natural dyeing, and how they link to modern microbiology.
Alex will highlight the manual processes filmed in Northern Ireland and the editing, from his background in VJing, which is the creation or manipulation of imagery in real-time through technological mediation.
