The Works Presents: Episode 6 of 8, RTÉ One, Tuesday, March 7th at 11.10pm
Jesse Jones described the Venice Biennale as “the world biggest shop window for art and artists”. This year, Jesse will represent Ireland there.
In her conversation with presenter John Kelly, she describes what is involved in preparing for this major international event. Jesse had always pushed the definitions of art; and challenges the notion that hers is conceptual art.
Growing up in Tallaght, both of her parents influenced and nurtured her artistic potential in their highly creative household; and working in collaboration with communities and other artists is a vital element of all her work.
