eleanor duffin


eleanor duffin’s current research is an empirical inquisition, which observes practice and process within contemporary art making.
beginning with a set of seemingly unrelated facts or objects, armed with an intuition that they are somehow connected, she works with abductive reasoning causing a process of interference that produces a hypothesis.
this process has become both her subject matter and a working methodology.
recurrent themes within her practice also include a preoccupation with ideologies of modernity and the constructs of utopianism.
the outcome of her research are presented as multi disciplinary installations.
using both appropriated and constructed disparate objects she wishes to create environments which reflect an overall sensibility of these concluded hypothesis.

eleanor duffin was born in Wexford, Ireland in 1980. currently based in dublin, ireland.
