The Unseen Shows Podcast – Episode 6: Ursula Burke 'A False Dawn'

The Unseen Shows is a new podcast series by Visual Artists Ireland, featuring interviews with artists whose exhibitions have been affected by the closure of galleries in mid-March, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Our sixth podcast features an interview with Ursula Burke, whose solo exhibition, ‘A False Dawn’ was due to run at the Ulster Museum from 7 February to 31 May. VAN Features Editor, Joanne Laws, talks to Ursula via Zoom about this exhibition and the wider themes in her practice. New episodes of The Unseen Shows are published every two weeks on Soundcloud, The Visual Artists’ News Sheet Online and in the Members' Area of the Visual Artists Ireland website.
