Niamh Lawlor Based on a True Story - A Seminar on Misinformation Admission Free. Continuing the Lewis Glucksman Gallery's Investigations series of projects, artist Niamh Lawlor presents Based on a True Story , a project examining the idea of misinformation. Using the format of a seminar, this live art event uniquely intersects the art institution with the broader academic environment of University College Cork. Based on a True Story examines questions about both our perceptions of misinformation and a definition as such . Niamh Lawlor uses the format of the seminar in order to examine the processes of misinformation and to question the role of a specific presentation format in relation to knowledge production. Based on a True Story aims to open up the speaker-audience relationship using different forms of presentation, to unsettle the exchange of communication, and to activate the ambiguities of misinformation between speaker and audience, sender and receiver. The seminar features a diverse group of experienced speakers from local and national contexts, exploring the delicate line between fact and fiction, authoritative knowledge and constructed identities in the transmission and safeguard of knowledge. Niamh Lawlor's project can be considered as a playful response to the University as the institution of research, information and the production of knowledge, allowing for a multitude of artistic and academic perspectives, but for the purpose of raising questions rather than confirming answers.
