Biographies

Emily Pethick is Director of the Showroom Gallery, a non-for-profit space in North West London. From 2005-2008 she was the director of Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory, in Utrecht, The Netherlands. From 2003-2004 she was curator at Cubitt, London. She has contributed to numerous catalogues and magazines, including Frieze, Artforum and Afterall.

Susan MacWilliam is a studio member at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. With an interest in that which is on the periphery of the mainstream and which falls beyond conventional fields of science and psychology Susan MacWilliam’s work considers perceptual phenomena and the world of the paranormal and the supersensory. Susan represented Northern Ireland at the 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009.

Vivienne Dick is an internationally-celebrated film-maker and artist and was a key figure of the late 1970s and early 1980s No Wave movement in New York, along with Nan Goldin, Lydia Lunch and many others. Shot on Super-8, 16mm and video, Dick’s films slip between fiction and documentary, with fragmentary narrative, dislocated imagery and compelling self-reflexive performances.

TBG+S Supporters Club is established to help support Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. All the income raised from this fundraising initiative goes back into the artistic programme, making great art happen. Events, from talks to social gatherings, are programmed for our members in order to bring our supporters closer and to connect them with each other.
