Lyónn Wolf is a trans, working class, visual artist, educator & writer making work intentionally shaped by economic necessity. They engage forms of recycling, thrift & ephemera, resulting in soft modularity, wild archiving & performative intervention, posing questions about value, accumulation & authorship. They see a cultural centring of thrift as part of a tradition of queer-working class vernacular & ethics, promiscuous & adept at working within limitations. Their pedagogical and publishing work posits the imagination as a political tool with radical potential that can exist & erupt anywhere at anytime. Lyónn has developed a trilogy of works since 2014 dealing with queer economies and spatial politics. The Re-appropriation of Sensuality, Sex in Public, and Domestic Optimism have been exhibited through various iterations at: The Project Arts Centre Dublin, The Grazer Kunstverein, Steirischer Herbst Festival Graz, NCAD Gallery Dublin, Dundee Contemporary Arts, District Berlin, Den Frie Center Of Contemporary Art Copenhagen, nGbK Berlin, Archive Kabinet Berlin, Survival Kit Festival Riga and De Appel Amsterdam among other places. Lyónn is co-founder of The Many Headed-Hydra (TMHH), aqueous-decolonising collective since 2015 working on long term critical and poly-vocal projects across the seas that connect Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Iceland, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania and beyond. Lyónn is founder of The Reading Troupe - Disruptive Pedagogy, workshop and zine series since 2013. Disruptive pedagogical engagements include: National College for Art and Design Dublin (2020), Colomboscope Festival Sri Lanka (2019), CCA Glasgow (2019), Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2018), Akademie der Künste der Welt, Cologne (2018), Gasworks, London (2017), Klöntal Triennale (2017), The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2017), The Universität der Künste Berlin (2017). Lyónn recently published a book of artist writing with Scriptings Berlin, Archive Books Berlin/Milan 2021 & Eeclectic Publishing, they were recently a fellow with the Berliner Förderprogramm Künstlerische Forschung 2022/23. *DOMESTIC OPTIMISM https://emmahaugh.com/DOMESTIC-OPTIMISM Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:13:35 +0000 Lyónn Wolf https://emmahaugh.com/DOMESTIC-OPTIMISM ︎THRXSOME comprises three research-intensive, collaborative, continuing, and intermingling projects that deal with sexuality and space – public space, private space, architectural space, temporary space and their many overlaps and in-betweens - in a queer, feminist & decolonial key. THRXSOME PART 3  DOMESTIC OPTIMISM Domestic Optimism is about mangled and mistold modernist legacies. The project begins with furniture, inanimate objects that come loaded with social connections and invisible histories. Through the displacement of cultural detritus Domestic Optimism retells modernist architectural history in the collective key of queer, feminist and decolonial practices, continually unearthing filth in times of hygiene, and complicating things that were never simple to begin with. Colonial aesthetics, obscenity trials, hysterical masculinity, crime scene photography, sexology, the production of the lesbian throughout modernity and the current collapse of social housing projects, all intersect in a critical, queer, working class reading of architectural and design modernism. The project underscores the importance of solidarity, friendship and collectivity, for our communion and survival in the world today. Supported by The Grazer Kunstverein, Project Arts Centre, Askeaton Contemporary Arts, Fingal Arts Office and The Arts Council of Ireland#AUTOTHEORY #QUEER COLLECTIVITY #WORKING CLASS UTOPIAS #MALE HYSTERIA #CORBUSIER WAS A FASCIST #DOMESTIC DECADENCE #EILEEN GRAY’S FRIENDS & LOVERS #LESBIAN SCENIUS #MODERNISM COLONIALISM Film https://emmahaugh.com/Film Tue, 16 Mar 2021 15:07:07 +0000 Lyónn Wolf https://emmahaugh.com/Film Domestic Optimism Act One - Modernism, a lesbian love story Video 38.00Written, performed and edited by Lyónn Wolf, filmed by Louis Haugh.

Curated by Kate Strain and Edward Clydesdale Thompson. Documentation - The Schubidu Quartet ‘In advance of a solo exhibition at Grazer Kunstverein in Autumn 2020, Lyónn Wolf takes Grazer Kunstverein to the streets with a billboard campaign around the central district of Lend. Large-scale, collaboratively made, photographic works linked to Wolf-Haugh's wider project Domestic Optimism are displayed in the poster slots usually reserved for advertisements. Displacing private domestic interiors (fusing past and present) to the public sphere the billboards are part of a continuing engagement with spatial politics and queer women’s invisibility. Wolf-Haugh’s artistic practice often involves (re)inserting and (re)appropriating narratives and histories that are otherwise overlooked, obscured, written out, or deleted. ︎eflux
