Director
Colm Lally: born in Galway, Ireland; lives and works in London. Lally is founder of E:vent project space. His creative practice focuses on scoring and curating (art) events. Lally works with exhibition structures, scored performances, workshops and discussions. He combines collections of events that overlap - each event becomes a site where things unfold, potentially unresolved but rather considered through an ongoing process. Lally has held visiting lecture posts with the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, the Architectural Association, London and Central St. Martin’s, London; and visiting juror with Bartlett School of Architecture. Lally was a co-organiser of Node.London ‘06, London's first major media arts festival. He is also co-director of an artist community based in East London. Lally has ongoing artist collaborations with artist/cultural theorist Verina Gfader.
