That Invisible Dance investigates the commonalities among visual and literary objects produced within the British Empire during the intensely prolific 19th and early 20th centuries. Divided into three physical locations, each exhibition space focuses on a literature-driven context using visual material and installation "notebooks" to explore intersections among selected artists, writers and their creative processes. Notebook one, installed in the Process Space, features quotes relating to Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley. Notebook two, installed in the East Conversation Wall, cites mainly British poets and writers, with an emphasis on the literary nature of scientific writing from the period, and connections there. The third and final notebook references Irish and Anglo-Irish poets with particular attention given to Ireland's post-imperial position.
