JAMES MERRIGAN

[Co-editor & screen-printer at Small Night Projects] James Merrigan emerged as both an artist and art critic during the 2008 financial crash amidst an efflorescent blog culture. He continues to write under the frequency and critically confessional definition of an art blog. He cut his critical teeth as an independent, with a DIY back catalogue of online and printed identities, including +billion-journal and Fugitive Papers. His current identity, Small Night Projects, is where he now edits, screen-prints and exhibits art and text projects for publication and exhibition in collaboration with other artists and editors. He teaches at Gorey School of Art, and lectures in Psychoanalysis and Art at Trinity College Dublin.
