A View From Nowhere presents a collective response to sets and sequences of recently discovered photocopies produced by Sir Sidney Nolan (1917 – 1992), that were made in 1987.

Copy Collective presents a symposium and exhibition in response to these recently unearthed photocopy artworks by Sir Sidney Nolan, one of the 20th century’s most influential modern artists. Following on from Celtic Image (2018), these works are part of the 2nd occasion where the artist is showcased in the Burren College of Art. The works presented here, discovered at his former home, represent an experimental and lesser-known aspect of his practice, using a standard office photocopier as a creative tool. A View from Nowhere marks the first public display of these photocopies.

The Event Day and Exhibition explores, through the spoken word, sound, digital image technologies and lectures, the re-imagining of this remarkable, but hitherto unknown aspect of his creative works. The Symposium will present a number of engagements in various forms, offering a fresh perspective on Nolan’s overall contribution to British and international art.
