Join artist Shelagh Keeley and Adelina Vlas, Head of Curatorial Affairs at The Power Plant, for an insightful conversation exploring Keeley’s exhibition, <a href="https://www.thepowerplant.org/whats-on/exhibitions/film-notebooks-1985-2017" title="https://www.thepowerplant.org/whats-on/exhibitions/film-notebooks-1985-2017" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Film Notebooks 1985-2017</a>.This engaging dialogue will delve into the evolution of Keeley’s distinctive film essays, tracing their development over more than three decades within the context of her broader multidisciplinary artistic practice. Shelagh Keeley has long been known for her deep engagement with drawing, photography, and film, using these mediums to explore themes of space, place, and memory. Throughout this conversation, Keeley will reflect on the creative process behind her Film Notebooks series, examining how her work has evolved and expanded through experimentation with both the formal aspects of film and the historical-cultural resonance of the places she documents. The discussion will highlight Keeley’s exploration of gardens, architecture, and the intangible essence of the environments she captures, all while considering the connections between her cinematic works and other forms of artistic expression. Adelina Vlas, who has worked closely with Keeley on this exhibition, will offer further insights into the curatorial considerations and context of the Film Notebooks, enriching the conversation with a behind-the-scenes perspective on how the exhibition came together. This conversation will offer a unique opportunity to learn directly from the artist about her innovative practice and the ways in which her film essays resonate within the larger cultural and historical frameworks they engage with.
