About the Artist
Dave Sherry’s work centers around live and filmed performance. He is influenced by social interaction and observing ordinary behaviour. Many everyday interactions become a source for his work. He spends time improvising ideas, pushing real experiences back and forth. He focuses on creating narratives, drawings and sculptural props. Connecting with a live audience is an important part of his practice. His process is the development of an expanding set list of ideas over 20 years. He is interested in arts effect on everyday reality and its means of questioning a conventional experience. His studio practice interests encompass: routines, pattern of social expectation, etiquette, humour in art / stand-up comedy, politics and environmentalism.

About the Publisher
Mother’s Tankstation is the name of an innovative project in contemporary visual art in Dublin. The intention behind the creation of the fictional designate; Mother’s is the characterisation of the ‘project’, it is not a reflection of the role of any individual. The ‘project’; Mother’s Tankstation jointly nurtures, along with its engaged artists, the delicate and often awkward offspring of ‘new art’ and helps to provide a contextualising forum and a discursive support structure for the introduction of unfamiliar or complex practices to an Irish audience.
