An artist talk with Artist Arlene McPadden who discusses her work. The talk took place at The Model, Sligo. (Apr. 2013)

“Hybridization is the ways in which forms become separated from existing practices and recombine with new forms in new practices”, (Rowe and Schelling 1991:231).
Arlene's work can be seen as a metaphor for the discussion of integration and multiculturalism as a demographic model in western society. Arlene uses classification as a form of process within her work, combining materials that highlight hybridization.

Artist Omer Fast discusses his practice in response to his exhibition, The tunnel, that took place at The Model, Sligo. (Sep. 3, 2011 - Nov. 27, 2011)

Israeli artist Omer Fast is considered as one of the most innovative video-artists working today. Through various strategies of digital manipulation, his work draws attention to the fine line between documentary and fiction, memory, perception, and history as reflected in the present moment in time. Often shown on multiple screens, with strong audio narrative components, his video works collage footage culled from recorded interviews or from mass media, ultimately manipulating the truth index inherent to video.
