Els Dietvorst
Adrift
16 March to 11 May

Els Dietvorst (b.1964, Belgium) is a socially engaged artist who has lived and worked in Ireland since 2010. Her choice of medium, whether it be actions, documentaries, films, mud sculptures, installations, drawings or theatre texts, depends on the specific circumstances and the individuality of each project. Many of her artworks have therefore been given away or destroyed, or have perished. In 2020, many of these works were remade for the exhibition Dooltocht / A desperate quest to find a base for hope at MHKA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp -Belgium).

Wexford Arts Centre working collaboratively with the Highlanes Gallery and Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre, and Wexford County Council are touring the work of Els Dietvorst throughout 2023-24. The tour, curated by Catherine Bowe and Karla Sánchez Zepeda, presents a coherent overview of her extensive and multifaceted oeuvre in addition to new works.
