Mel Galley

Weaving together narrative and modelmaking to create speculative worlds, Mel Galley’s practice builds from research on planning, housing, data and space, asking how we listen to landscapes and piece together public place. Her work has shown across the UK and Ireland, including the LAB Gallery and Dublin Fringe Festival. Mel holds an MA in Art and Research Collaboration from IADT. Clara McSweeney is a curator and artist, who’s research is focuses on the housing crisis, vacant properties, climate change, and injustices faced by women. Her current research looks at the peculiarities of certain vacant spaces in Dublin City, potential dystopian futures stemming from the housing and climate crisis and the anthropomorphism of inanimate objects.
