New exhibition examines impact of broadcasting technology on Europe
Declan Clarke’s solo exhibition, The Last Broadcast, opens this Friday, April 29, in Galway Arts Centre, on the city’s Dominick Street, and will run until Saturday, June 25.
The Last Broadcast centres on the history and development of electronic communication over the last century and the impact this technology has had on Europe.
Dublin-born Declan, who now lives in Berlin, has combines narrative and documentary with elements of noir and espionage to create an installation that weaves props, photos, texts and historical exhibits.
The Last Broadcast explores surprising connections and historic parallels between a divided Ireland and an equally separated Germany, digging into often overlooked European history to shed light on the present.
Shot across Germany and Ireland, including Fanore in County Clare and Galway City’s Bohermore Cemetery where the famous Nazi propagandist William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) is buried, The Last Broadcast explores events that connect Germany’s broadcasting history with Ireland’s. It also shows how broadcasting technology was politicised during World War II.
