Art of Opportunism: Kevin Abosch at TEDxDUBLIN

TEDxDublin was hosted by Science Gallery at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on September 8th, 2012 The work of Irish visual-artist Kevin Abosch (kevinabosch.com) has become part of the global cultural landscape. His photographic portraits of some of the most celebrated faces of our time as well as those of relatively unknown citizens, have graced the walls of museums on five continents and appeared on more than 500 magazine covers. In 2010 The Museum of Contemporary Art Novi Sad held a retrospective exhibition of Abosch's portraiture alongside a series of video installations. Currently on display in Dublin Airport's Terminal 2, travelers pass the artist's "FACES OF IRELAND", a series of 250 large-scale photographic portraits representing the citizenry of the island. Abosch's latest project "FACES:TECH" is comprised of hundreds of portraits of many of the tech entrepreneurs behind companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Skype. A selection of 50 of these portraits were previewed in June 2012 on 13 electronic billboards in Times Square, New York. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
