EMMA BRENNAN 

Girls Who Like Beuys, 2025

Ulster Museum, Belfast

 

Invited by Ulster Museum, Brennan performed in response to their exhibition exhibition Beuys, celebrating 50 years since his visit to Belfast where his lecture became a key moment in the history of Belfast art. This exhibition took the opportunity to look at the ideas discussed and their impact on the creative community of Belfast over the last 50 years. 

​

In order to bring these ideas into the present the museum worked with current practising Belfast-based artists. Taking the two primary focuses at the heart of Beuys work – performance and drawing.
