BlueGreen - About Us
BlueGreen Productions was founded by Claire Porter in 1996.
It is an arts organisation with a particular interest in the merger of text and physicality, and the use of mixed media. It works to further the possibilities of combined disciplines and its mission is to bring together artists of varied disciplines to explore and illuminate issues of the human condition; and to develop the artist´s work by the collaborative process.
BlueGreen creates works that are bold, innovative, challenging and visceral.
The company creates or selects projects like Wine, Chips and Funerals and The Drowning Point, and unites artists from appropriate fields to work towards the best means of communicating each project’s ideals.
