Jeanette Doyle is a visual artist and a PhD researcher at GradCAM, The Graduate School for Creative Arts and Media, Dublin. Her work encompasses the production of objects both material and temporal along with performance and collaborative projects. In recent years Doyle has been conducting practice-led research into the relationship between the ‘immaterial’ as relates to digital practices through the work of Jean-François Lyotard and the ‘dematerialized’ as relates to Conceptual and Post-conceptual practices. Her studio-based practice happens in tandem with more ‘discursive’ and performative projects including 'The Enquiry' ‘The Aesthetics Group’ and ‘the food thing’. Recent exhibitions include ‘Cf’ @ The Research Pavilion Venice (2017); From A to Z and Back Again, AC Institute New York (Solo) (2019); Good Trouble, White Box NY (Group) (2020) and Darkest Before Dawn: Art in a Time of Uncertainty, Ethan Cohen KUBE, NY (Group) (2020).
