Maeve Brennan Artist's Talk
This talk will follow a screening of Maeve Brennan’s film An Excavation (2022), which investigates a series of ancient artefacts recovered from Geneva
These artefacts were looted from the territory featured in Siticulosa, the film showing at CAST from 3 April to 30 May.
Both films are part of Brennan’s ongoing project The Goods, a multi-disciplinary body of work that focuses on the global trade in illicit antiquities. An Excavation documents the work of forensic archaeologists Dr Christos Tsirogiannis and Dr Vinnie Norskov (Director of Aarhus Museum of Ancient Art) as they meticulously piece together the recovered archaeological fragments to reconstruct a series of vases made in the fourth century BC by artisans in Apulia.
Maeve Brennan uses moving image, installation, sculpture and printed matter to explore the social, historical and political resonance of material and place. Her works excavate layered histories, revealing unseen structures that shape contemporary life. Her work Siticulosa (2025) is on show at CAST from 3 April to 30 May.
