BASIC TALKS ~ Amie Egan ~ November 2024

1pm, 8/11/2024

Hugh Lane Gallery

Basic Space is delighted to present Amie Egan for our November BASIC TALK - 1pm on Friday the 8th of November 2024 at the Hugh Lane Gallery

Amie Egan is a fashion designer and emerging costume designer for visual art currently based in The Complex Studios, Dublin. She received her formal education at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) where she graduated in 2014 with a BDes(Hons) in Fashion Design. Since graduating she has worked in the fashion industry in fashion capitals such as Dublin, London, and New York. Her brand, AMIE EGAN, centres around handmade outerwear garments inspired by changing landscapes and weather conditions and has been showcased and sold at Brown Thomas, Fabiani Boutique, and Dunnes Stores.

In 2021, alongside her fashion design practice, Amie began working within a visual art context. She collaborates with a number of visual artists to create costumes and props that enhance visual art, dance, theatre, short films, and music performances. Her approach is experimental while informed by an appreciation for cultural and historical sources. She draws inspiration from literature, mythology, the history of dress, and contemporary fashion to create costumes that are not only visually engaging but also rich in narrative and symbolic references. Amie has collaborated with artists such as Isadora Epstein (visual artist), Eimear Walshe (visual artist), Sonia Shiel (visual artist), Jessie Keenan (dance artist) and Frank Sweeney (filmmaker). Her work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), the Hugh Lane Gallery, NCAD Gallery, Visual Carlow, the Mermaid Arts Centre, the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), the Cork Film Festival, and Club Hybrid in Austria.
