Alan Butler

Alan Butler received his MFA from LaSalle College of the Arts, Singapore (2009). His work explores material and philosophical ideas about how imagery and meaning function in technologically mediated realities. His work often conceptually reflects and refracts the inner-workings of the internet, the implications of new media technology, and the politics of appropriation. Butler’s work is such that you are made to question your grasp of the world around you, itself in the grip of systems of knowledge and coding that is never far away from the override or delete button. Butler was educated at LaSalle College of the Arts, Singapore (2009) and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin (2004). He is a member of the collective ANNEX who will represent Ireland at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2020. Alan Butler's work is in the collections of IMMA, The Office of Public Works, Ireland, The Arts Council of Ireland, and Trinity College Dublin.
