Periodical Review 14—Closing Event Performance: W/w by Sarah Long

Artist Sarah Long joined us in the gallery on Saturday the 25th of January to deliver a performance as part of the closing event for Periodical Review 14—A Language To Shout In. W/w is a performance based on Long’s debut novella of the same title, published by Bloomers in 2024, and incorporates spoken word, sound and video elements. W/w is a piece of autofiction that speculatively reflects on the art historical notion of the grid alongside different reverberations of Irish culture, including Roy Keane and the position of women in the Irish constitution. W/w follows the character Mary, an aspiring artist and writer, in conflict with the world around her. Mary is confined to the porch of her family home during the COVID-19 lockdowns, thus searches for a new form, a larger territory to occupy. She adopts new identities before coming to the startling realisation she is Mother Ireland. The video shows a short clip of the performance.
