Martin Seeds - Disagreements

Disagreements, 2018

In January 2017 political power-sharing in the Northern Ireland Assembly collapsed. The reasons for the failure are complex and although not directly related to historical disagreements, these soon rose to the surface. The resulting ideological and cultural impasse has destabilised the province and raised doubts about the Good Friday Agreements’ viability as a framework for governance.

Disagreements is a response to the Assembly's failure to negotiate the contrasting political viewpoints that have created a difficult and seemingly unresolvable political landscape. The works are made in the public grounds of the Stormont Estate, which surround the empty Parliament building.
