Orla Barry is an Irish artist and who works in a variety of media: performance, video, text and sound. She also runs a flock of pedigree Lleyn sheep on the south coast of Ireland.[1]

She is Lecturer at the Institute of Technology, Carlow[2] and a former Advising Researcher at the Jan Van Eyck Academie.[3]

Biography

She lived for 16 years in Brussels and now lives and works in County Wexford in the South-East Ireland where she runs a flock of pedigree and Lleyn sheep.[1] In her work she deals with the physicality and poetics of oral language. A recent leitmotif is the tension between being an artist and a farmer in rural Ireland.

She has had performances at Performatik 17,[4] Brussels, Dublin Theatre Festival,[5] the Project Arts Centre,[6] Dublin; Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (BOZAR), Brussels, the South London Gallery[7] and the Tate Modern, London; If I Can't Dance,[8] De Appel, Amsterdam; and The Playground Festival,[9] Leuven.

She has also had solo shows at Mu.Zee, Oostend (with Els Dietvorst), Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. ARGOS Centre for Art and Media,[10][11] Brussels. Temple Bar Gallery and Studios[12] and Mother's Tankstation, Dublin; Cultural Centre of Belém (CCB), Museu Colecção Berardo, Lisbon with Rui Chafes; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.), Ghent; Camden Arts Centre, London; and BOZAR, Brussels. She has been awarded the prize of the Palais de Beaux Arts in the Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge in 2003 and was short-listed for the Glen Dimplex Prize in 1999.
