Ciar谩n 脫 Dochartaigh: Vague Symptom Clinic
Ciar谩n 脫 Dochartaigh鈥檚 Vague symptom clinic considers Ireland鈥檚 legacies of colonialism, partition, and state violence, and their relationship to intergenerational trauma and inherited chronic illness. The exhibition鈥檚 title is taken from the real-life National Health Service (NHS) clinic that attempts to identify the origins or causes of a range of indefinite indicators of disease, including weight loss, fatigue, brain fog and night sweats. 脫 Dochartaigh makes sculptural installations with materials including blown glass, silicone, ice, lard, metal, diagrammatic images, sound recordings, electronic components and bespoke medical tools made of ceramic, marble, and granite.
