Further Information 
This day-long symposium on the work of Lucian Freud is part of an ongoing research partnership between the Department of the History of Art and Architecture in Trinity College Dublin and IMMA, in connection with the five-year project IMMA Collection: Freud Project 2016-2021.

The aim of the symposium is to explore and test out new ways to consider and critique Freud’s work, examining it in terms of adjacent cultural categories, conceived within a number of frameworks – period, subject, approach or medium. This symposium showcases a range of new theoretical and historical approaches to Freud’s practice, with an intense focus on the body, its durational quality and its curious, usually implicit, relationship to certain strands of continental philosophy, particularly existentialism and phenomenology.

Others taking part include Giovanni Aloi (School of the Art Institute of Chicago / Sotheby’s Institute of Art); Margarita Cappock (Dublin City Council Arts Office); Derrick R. Cartwright (University of San Diego); Barbara Dawson (Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane); Conor Linnie (Trinity College Dublin); Christina Mullan (Galway Mayo Institute of Technology-LSAD); Nathan O’Donnell (IMMA / Trinity College Dublin); and Ines Rüttinger (Curator at Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen, Germany.

This symposium took place on 7 September 2019 at Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin.
