Peter Maybury’s practice-based research sees him operating at the interstices of disciplines. An artist, graphic designer, filmmaker, publisher, writer, editor, curator, musician, and educator, his output spans more than 25 years during which he has collaborated extensively with artists and institutions, editors, and curators, on more than 150 individual artists publications, and over 50 group show publications in Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, UK, US, Italy and Canada. These include artist’s monographs, artist’s books, exhibition display, wayfinding systems, collection and event-specific publications (print and digital), academic and critical content. Much of this work has been featured in key design publications including Blueprint, Creative Review, and Emigre magazines.
His recent film work includes Landfall (2020), a dual-screen film installation work, originally commissioned by Thisispopbaby for the Where We Live festival.
Gall, on-going collaborative practice with Tom dePaor emerges from the disciplines of architecture, design, film, installation, public art, text, curation and landscape. Their work includes the films Drape (2019) for Pálás Cinema, Galway; Study (2015) made for exhibition at ETH Zurich; and These Islands, Slievemore, Dooagh, Keel East, Co. Mayo (2013) (first shown at The Everyday Experience, Irish Museum of Modern Art); and the co-curation of Ireland’s 2010 National Pavilion – of de Blacam and Meagher – La Biennale di Venezia. Their Gall Editions imprint has published 12 titles to date including the exhibition book of de Blacam and Meagher (2010); and Notations, an eight volume publication co-edited with Paul Clarke and including work by Tom dePaor, O’Donnell Tuomey, and Grafton Architects.
Peter is the author of Make Ready (Gall Editions, 2015) which was published in conjunction with a survey exhibition at the Library Project, Dublin and his opening speaker presentation at Offset 2015. He is co-author with dePaor of Of (Gall Editions, 2012), and Reservoir (Gall Editions, 2010).
With Dennis McNulty he co-curated and edited, and published Underground (Image text sound editions, 2008) a book and an exhibition presented at ROAD records, Dublin. Peter curates the on-going Messages Sonores sound art project, which features a collaboration with improvising musician Toshimaru Nakamura.
His music projects include Hard Sleeper, Rainfear (with David Donohoe), Thread Pulls, and releases under his own name for labels such as Emigré Music (US) Sub Rosa (BEL), Fällt (NI); Osaka (IRL); and C/F (NI).
