A Non Zero Sum Game is in game theory a situation where one decision maker’s gain (or loss) does not necessarily result in the other decision makers’ loss (or gain) – a win-win game. They generally have both competitive and cooperative elements. Players engaged have some complementary interests and some interests that are completely opposed.

‘The Non Zero-Sum Art Games’ was a program of exhibitions and performances focusing on the power that Art and people have to transform the socio/political psyche of the public in 3 European cities; Dublin, Lisbon & Athens all whom have recently hit by financial crisis.Two groups of 5 Irish Artists travelled to both Athens & Lisbon to work under rules, financial and time restrictions imposed by the curators.

Rules include:
  • Artists are playing against each other to win a game with no results.
  • Artists may not bring any materials or equipment with the exception of 1 Mobile Phone & 1 Laptop
  • Artists will be given €100 to source materials / equipment in the host country.
  • Artists must work with at least one local artist / resident.
  • Artists will showcase their work on March 7th.
  • All artworks will be destroyed when show is complete.

"Instances of Agreement is an exhibition that brings together a range of artists and artworks from the North of Ireland in an attempt to explore the often complex and problematic nature of an agreement. The exhibition focuses on the formation and realisation of an agreement, as demonstrated between artist and artwork, artwork and viewer."

Livestock at Dublin Live Art Festival

I'm very excited to be performing with LIVESTOCK as part of Dublin Live Art Festival at The Back Loft this Thursday 1st of November from 7pm. This informal event incorporates performance art, song, dance and sound based work, the emphasis being on cross discipline professional development in performance through a casual, sympathetic and experimental setting. Over the past four years, LIVESTOCK has nurtured an ever growing and appreciative audience, believing performance to be an art form that can be experienced by anyone, anytime and anywhere.



LIVESTOCK is a bi monthly artist-led event conceived to support, encourage and promote artists to present experimental and performance-based work in front of a live audience. LIVESTOCK was formed in 2009 and is an initiative of artists based at The Market Studios, Dublin. Performers are encouraged from any discipline and experience level, to present new ideas to a live audience, or re-present old work in a new context.

 Come join us at The Back Loft from 7pm.

 For Dublin Live Art Festival 2012 LIVESTOCK will present the artists;
