Cork Caucus (20 June 2005 to 11 July 2005) was an interdisciplinary meeting of 60 to 80 artists, thinkers, writers, philosophers and other creative individuals, held in Cork, Ireland. [3] [4] The caucus investigated cultural, political and artistic issues. [5]
The Cork Caucus project was devised by the National Sculpture Factory as part of Cork's tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005, and was curated by Charles Esche, [1] Annie Fletcher, [1] and Art/not art (David Dobz O'Brien and Fergal Gaynor). [6] In addition to lectures and exhibitions, the organisers also coordinated two outdoor public events. [7]
The origins of the project date to at least early 2004 when Charles Esche, director and curator of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, visited Cork. [8] [9] Fergal Gaynor, who was one of the co-curators of the project, was also a co-organiser of the SoundEye Festival and the 2009 festival The Avant: Ten Days of the Progressive Arts. [10] Other participants in the Cork Caucus events included Vito Acconci, Maria Eichhorn, Bik Van der Pol, Sarat Maharaj, Chantal Mouffe and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. [1]
Cork Caucus was funded by organisations including the European Cultural Foundation, Arts Council England, British Council and Danish Arts Council's Committee for International Visual Art. [1]
[David] Dobz O'Brien [..] was a co-curator of the Cork Caucus in 2005 with Charles Esche, Annie Fletcher and Fergal Gaynor
