Denis Connolly (born 1965, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland) is an installation and video artist, and author.
Their work addresses a heterogeneous public and often involves collaboration with artists from other disciplines, in particular dancers (such as Cindy Cummings), writers (such as the poet Derry O'Sullivan), musicians (such as DinahBird and Jean-Philippe Renaud) and craftsmen (such as carriage-builder Neil McKenzie).
[1] Cleary Connolly’s work is participatory art, both in its creative process and in its final engagement with the spectator.
Over the last 5 years they have been awarded more than a dozen public commissions, in Ireland, Britain and France, each involving a participative process as well as the creation and installation of one or several permanent artworks.
Publications include Moving Dublin, a book and DVD, published in April 2009 by Gandon Editions.
