Michael Fortune
Michael Fortune was born in rural Co. Wexford, in 1975. His practice revolves around the collection of material where he generates material out of the relationships and experiences he develops with the people and circumstances he encounters. The intimate nature of the relationships with the people and circumstances he encounters, and the subsequent reflective treatment of the material at hand is a key feature of his work.
Fortune presents work internationally mostly in a variety of contexts, ranging from video installations in galleries through to single screen presentations in film and video art festivals. Since the beginning of 2007 his work has been presented in over ninety shows in a total of twenty-five countries spanning from Armenia to Venezuela and from Kilnaboy to Claremorris. In December 2009 he launched a new publication of his work which was commissioned by Galway City Council under their Per Cent for Art Programme. (Further information on www.michaelfortune.ie)
