‘‘Tonguetied Sons of Bastards’ Ghosts’: Postconceptual and Postcolonial Appraisals of the work of James Coleman’, Third Text (Routledge), vol.19, no.5, Sept. 2005

This essay came from an initial proposal from Lucy Cotter to consider the critical reception of the art of Willie Doherty and James Coleman. The challenge lay in tending to Coleman's reception and so the essay focused on this alone. The timing seemed good as IMMA had just acquired three of his major works which they were subsequently to showcase.
