Alan Magee trained as a fine artist at the Dublin Institute of Technology. He holds an MA Fine Art from Central Saint Martins College of Art, London, where he is also currently lecturing in Video & Photography. His practice crosses many disciplines from sculpture, installation and drawing, to a variety of lens based media. His work conveys his interest in the individual, often posing questions of an existential nature about notions of choice and change. Magee often focuses on mans interactions with Society and his ability to impact on his environment. He exhibits regularly between Ireland and the UK, with selected exhibitions and screenings further afield.

Liverpool Road Estate Project
"How can I help?"
Commissioned by Southern Housing Group and curated by Gadi Sprukt, Giulia Sala and Helmut Feder, this project was centered around a Samuel Lewis housing estate in London. As a build up to the 100yrs celebration, 5 artists were selected to work in the community throughout the project.
With the underlying question; "What is the point of bringing artists into the community?", I chose to offer my services as an artist to the residents for the duration of the project. Their task was to figure out What is an artist? and, How an artist could be of use to them?
