Culture Night 2026
We were thrilled to screen Lab (Limits and Demonstrations), a film by Olivia Normile, for Culture Night 2026.
The film was available to watch on our website from 6pm Friday, 18 September to midnight on Sunday, 20 September.
Supported with funding from Donegal County Council, 2026.
This film has been extracted from the installation Limits and Demonstrations, Olivia Normile’s Platform Commission presented at the 41st EVA International, 2025.
about the artist
Olivia Normile is a visual artist exploring communication and perception through installation and experimental moving image. By deconstructing film, drawing, and sculptural making, her work revolves around the notion of disruption in relation to speech and movement. Slow-making and repetition lay bare material elements, labour, and overlooked narratives. Activated by an interest in the peripheral, these layerings allow for an exchange of roles and narratives. Olivia currently holds a studio with Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (2026 – 2027).
