About Broadcast

Broadcast is a public gallery situated in the Fine Art department of the Dublin Institute of Technology, Portland Row, Dublin 1.

The gallery supports the production, interpretation and dissemination of a broad range of activities within contemporary art practice, and creates a situation in which criticality can be integrated into the pedagogical development of fine art education. Programmed workshops and lectures run in correspondence with the concerns of the artist chosen to present work in the gallery, with a particular focus upon conceptual articulation of that work and the broader question of how artists occupy the space of research.

Broadcast provides a discursive space within its academic location and within the wider contemporary art community .

Established in November 2007, Broadcast has presented exhibitions, performances and developed projects with a diverse range of Irish and international practices and practisioners, such as Patrick Graham, Anja Kirschner, Slavek Kwi, Caoimhe Kilfeather, Michael Murphy, Chris Neumann, Sarah O’Brien, Garrett Phelan and Louisa Sloan.

Patrick Graham: CRIT is an exhibition of rarely seen works on paper by Patrick Graham and an audio recording of a conversation between Graham and Ronan McCrea.


The works on paper are selected by McCrea and consist of sketches, notes, schemata and plans which Graham makes on a continual basis, constituting a massive reservoir of ideas and images from which Graham develops his paintings.


Counter-pointing this visual material, headphones in the gallery make available a recording of a conversation between the two artists in Graham’s Dublin studio conducted over two weeks in April 2008. Topics discussed include style, knowledge, art education, feminism and Graham’s artistic process. The title of the show CRIT will be familiar to anyone attending art school, an abbreviation for ‘critique’ – and a pointer to a basic methodology of art education; talking about art.


The impetus for this exhibition was the meeting of Ronan McCrea and Patrick Graham while both were teaching on the Fine Art Course at D.I.T. in addition to the unique situation of Broadcast gallery with an educational context. It also marks the retirement this year of Graham from over twenty years teaching at D.I.T.

The artists have very different artistic sensibilities and cultural and generational references. The multidisciplinary structure of the course at D.I.T. brought them into contact and when discussing art in general or a student’s work in particular they disagreed on just about everything.
