Martin Firrell Biography

Martin Firrell is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on April 4, 1963 in Paris, France. The project was commissioned by The Dean and chapter of St Paul’s to mark the 300th anniversary of the top- off of the cathedral designed by Christopher Wren The project was designed to answer the following questions: “what are the things that make like meaningful and purposeful, and what does St Paul’s Cathedral mean in that contemporary context?”

Two of the early works hint at the direction Firrell has extensively explored in her mature works. Lucid Between Bouts of Sanity was published in a tri- lingual version at the end of 1996 is an statement comprising four sections that examine the Reductive nature of actions, the weaknesses in language, the difficulties of understanding anything clearly to any person in addition to the potential of making use of an unrestricted and limited language to discover an entirely new way to express. “I felt it must be possible to describe the limits within which all language must operate and so designate a clearly defined space for my own experimentation.”

Several themes and campaign positions recur in Firrell’s works: a plea for the value of things that are different and the point of view that what is different should be investigated for potential rather than rejected as “other” or perceived with suspicion or fear (Celebrate Difference, LED screen, Leicester Square 2001; Different Is Not Wrong, Curzon Cinemas, 2006–7; I Want To Live In A City Where People Who Think Differently Command Respect, The National Gallery, London, 2006). The artist has also consistently campaigned for gender equality and from what is customarily regarded as a feminist position (I Want To Live In A City Where Half The People In Charge Are Women, The National Gallery, London, 2006; Why Are Women Still Discriminated Against? The Question Mark Inside, St Paul’s Cathedral, London 2008); Women Are Much More Honourable Than Men, quoting April Ashley, Complete Hero, Guards Chapel, London, 2009). The subjects of maleness, violence and war tend to appear in association with one another; war is often commented upon but not necessarily from a purely pacifist perspective (All Men Are Dangerous, War Is A Male Preoccupation, Keep The Faith, Tate Britain 2006; I Don’t Understand Why There Is War, The Question Mark Inside, St Paul’s Cathedral, London, 2008; War Is Always A Failure, Complete Hero, Guards Chapel, London 2009).

Firrell was born in Paris, unexpectedly, on the Champs-Élysées outside what is now Sephora. He was London Cultural Ambassador for the now defunct International Herald Tribune curating the newspaper’s first London Arts Season in 2005, titled “Breathless…” after Jean-Luc Godard’s nouvelle vague film of the same title.

Firrell also organized a ‘Gender Think-In’ that was based on meetings held during The Gay Liberation Front in the early 1970s. The event sought at developing progressive policies and protests. In June 2017, business leaders, policy makers and culture were gathered to examine the significance of gender- specific names and their ability to influence the areas they operate in. The results were published in the work of Firrell in a policy document that outlines “an alternative future for gender”.
