Yvonne McGuinness (born 2nd August 1972) is an Irish visual artist who works in a variety of contexts, including video installation and print. Born in Dublin, Ireland, and now based in Monkstown, County Dublin, her works have been shown in Ireland and the UK, and she holds an MA from the Royal College of Art in London.
A 2004 biography stated, "Recent works have been preoccupied with notions of portrayal of the self and with deception, dealing with the sublimated desire for self-expression of the artist and the tension between revelation and concealment."
She has made several short films: This is between us (2011), Charlie's Place (2012), and Procession (2012).
Work
McGuiness's installations incorporate “film, performance, sculptural and textile elements, sound, and writing.”
Her work focuses on subject matter concerned with place, time and community. She has an interest in the embodied experience of place and belonging by staging live, public, interventions and performances which create surreal and dynamic moments of interaction and connection to place, time and communities. This is immersive work, which is collaborative and generally temporary. Her film installation work often reconstructs the documentation of these performances for gallery contexts.
Personal life
In 2004, McGuinness married her longtime boyfriend Cillian Murphy, with whom she has two sons, born in 2005 and 2007. She is the niece of Fianna Fáil politician John McGuinness.
