Denis Connolly

Denis Connolly, born in 1965 in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, is an installation and video artist. He and his partner Anne Cleary, both architects by education, have developed an art practice centred on observer participation. Their work addresses a heterogeneous public, often involving collaboration with artists from other disciplines, in particular dancer, writers and musicians, and often reflecting on contemporary urban life. Their recent exhibitions include a 3 month show at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Recent publications include Moving Dublin, a book and DVD, published in April 2009 by Gandon Editions.^[1] They were awarded the 2009 AIB Award for Irish artists of exceptional potential.^[2] They live together in Paris with their twin daughters.^[2]
