David Raymond Conroy
Summer Residency 2017
David Raymond Conroy’s compositional works investigate the performance and construction of subjectivity within shared social space. Utilising commercial display strategies, curatorial methods and theatrical staging techniques, Conroy assembles products, texts and images that position the rhetoric of fidelity in relation to desire. His live arrangements for multiple readers phase authorial presence in a counterpoint of voices that conjoin singular audibility and fractured noise. Central to the practice is this circular overlapping of production and consumption, how authenticity meets artifice in the formation of the self. David Raymond Conroy (b.1978 Reading) lives and works in Brussels and London.
