Partners in Art, TBD TAKEOVER
Ciara Phillips
July 27, 2020 – July 31, 2020

Open Studio is proud to participate in Partners in Art, TBD Takeover initiative. Our first nominated artist is: Ciara Phillips

TBD Takeover is an online, commissioned art project spotlighting works and stories relating to this current period of uncertainty amidst the global health crisis. In partnership, select artist-run centres have curated two artists to takeover PIA’s Instagram for one week each.


Ciara Phillips is a Canadian/Irish artist who works with printmaking processes to make art both alone and in collaboration with others. Through her practice she explores the physical and tactile properties of printing and considers its histories and legacies as they relate to art and the wider realm of information production and dissemination. Phillips works with print in expansive ways, using its reproductive quality to create large-scale installations, and exploring its particular characteristics of mediation and transference to create new screenprints, relief prints and etchings. Phillips was due to take part in an international residency and exhibition at Open Studio in 2020.

As part of the TBD Takeover, Ciara will release one poster every day that will be downloadable for print on our website.
