The Tower
24 June - 30 September 2023
Jesse Jones’ new film, performance and sculptural installation, 'The Tower', is the second part in a trilogy beginning with 'Tremble Tremble' (commissioned for the Irish Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017).
Jones' work delves into the lost knowledge of women’s ecstatic visions through the writing and song of medieval female Christian mystics, and evokes the strange, isolated imaginaries of anchorites and hermits along with troubling histories of religious and state incarceration of women.
'The Tower' was commissioned by Rua Red in Dublin as part of The Magdalene Series curated by Maolíosa Boyle, funded by The Arts Council of Ireland, Creative Ireland, South Dublin County Arts Office, and Rua Red. It has been further developed at Talbot Rice Gallery with the support of Creative Scotland, Edinburgh College of Art, Culture Ireland and Ron Christaldi.
