Kennedy Browne is the collaborative practice of Gareth Kennedy and Sarah Browne, established in 2005.
Kennedy Browne seeks to address the supposedly eternal narrative of neoliberal capitalism as a fiction, and to do so by generating Other, competing fictions in order to cultivate new political imaginaries of difference. They often source existing, marginalised materials from within the plot of global capitalism, working with processes of collation and redaction to develop new scripts. This use of readymade material in combination with a collaborative method of scripting ensures that Kennedy Browne’s fictions are networked to a complex variety of reference points. Together they primarily produce digital video work, and in 2017 are developing a new project in virtual reality.
Recent solo exhibitions include The Myth of the Many in the One, Wilfried Lentz Gallery, Rotterdam (2014); Crawford Art Gallery, Cork (2014); How Capital Moves, Limerick City Gallery of Art Offsite (2011) and 167 at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris (2010). Group exhibitions include Radical Actions, RMIT Gallery, Melbourne (2016); Liquid Assets, Steirischer Herbt, Graz (2014); CAPITAL, the Bern Biennial, Switzerland; Seeking Silicon Valley, Zero1 Biennial, San Jose; the touring exhibition The United States of Europe (all 2012); L'Exposition Lunatique, Kadist Foundation, Paris, and the Lodz Biennale, Poland (all 2010). In 2009 Kennedy Browne co-represented Ireland at the 53rd Venice Biennale with their respective solo practices.
