It's turned out nice again with Thomas Wells

It's turned out nice again with Thomas Wells

"It's Turned Out Nice Again" is an installation and performance that culminates two years of practice in East Belfast, inspired by local film director Brian Desmond Hurst (1895–1986).

This new work, located in Portview Trading Estate (formerly The Strand Spinning Mill), weaves together queer and working-class histories through seemingly incongruous assemblages to evoke nostalgic narratives. For me, It's Turned Out Nice Again (an anthem of Northern English working-class culture thanks to George Formby) inserts my Mancunian roots into the heart of East Belfast, reflecting the similarities between two post-industrial ‘powerhouses,’ to quote George Osborne! These similarities seep into familial relationships, gestures of affection, and influences of popular culture.

Looking at you looking at me with Rebecca Strain

A presentation by Rebecca Strain and Martha McCulloch on their recent body of work, as performance artist and photography artist based at Fort Dunree followed by a discussion about the relationship between photography and performance art over tea and scones.

Since 2023 Rebecca and Martha have been working on a project to develop a body of work that interrogates the relationship between live performance & image making. It is place-based art making outdoors that presents the reality of a rural, coastal practice.

This project they have been working on is a significant body of work that they feel will create opportunities for conversations around how we see our natural resources, the effects of tourism, the impact of artists occupation of spaces and the relationship between performance, photography and text.
