Radio Joinery × Paper Visual Art
The Joinery, founded by Miranda Driscoll and Feargal Ward in 2007 and closed in 2014, was a not-for-profit, DIY space located in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7. It was a valuable, multidisciplinary venue for both emerging and professional artists that existed at a time when people had very little money but were trying to make things happen anyway. The Joinery was an inspiration for PVA to start publishing, and I imagine it inspired many others too. Organised by Marysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll in collaboration with the Joinery, Radio Joinery was an exciting live event that took place over three nights in 2012 and was also broadcast online. Like the many events that took place there, Radio Joinery brought people working in many different disciplines – music, theatre, film, writing, and art – and the local community together. There is no extensive archive for this project, but what remains are clips of video, lists of performances, snaps of activity, and rich shreds of memory.
Established in 2009 and based in Dublin and Berlin, Paper Visual Art Journal (PVA) publishes journals and books with a focus on art criticism and literature. PVA editors include Adrian Duncan, Nathan O'Donnell, and Niamh Dunphy.
