Excited to see the culmination of our year long wonkshops come to fruition, and honoured to be in such good company as part of BODY NOISE WORK with KIRKOS ensemble & Co., December 2018: Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/ropes-plants-baths-and-other-musical-instruments-1.3723819 https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/body-noise-work-tickets-52256683146# Kirkos are delighted to present Body Noise Work, bringing together 9 artists across disciplines to create an extraordinary evening over four floors of the Temple Bar Gallery + Studios on Saturday December 8th. Each artist will demolish the divide between performer and creator, pulling the audience into brave new spaces and building their own separate but colliding worlds. The artists of BNW came together during a series of intensive residential workshops in and around Carrick-on-Shannon led by mentors Jennifer Walshe, John Godfrey, Vicky Langan and EL Putnam. All involved were chosen from a hugely oversubscribed call for participation and come from core backgrounds of music, dance, film and visual arts, but all are committed to the idea that boundaries are meaningless in the art of our time. Our artists come from core disciplines of music (Sebastian Adams, Robbie Blake, Robert Coleman, Seán Ó Dálaigh and Susan Geaney), visual art (Sarah Lundy), interdisciplinary art (Natasha Bourke) and dance (Ruairí Donovan, Laura Sarah Dowdall), but all are deeply engaged in multiple media. |

WormWorm [minor]
SARAH LUNDY
Cork Film Centre
http://www.corkfilmcentre.com/
WormWorm [minor] is a site-specific installation by Sarah Lundy, composed of various spatial interventions based simply on the notion of baseness.
“Worm will I ever get born?” [Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable, 1953]
Beckett’s character Worm has served as inspiration for this exhibition. Effectively outlined as an actual worm in all its tragic basic incarnation, Worm is also fundamentally a metaphor and we are all Worm; Simultaneously consumer and compost, exiled in each other, inert in activity and dumb in the deluge of the decaying world. Ignorant and ever-infantile, despite our vain progress we remain in essence primordial as an insect.
This body of work endeavors to present pared-down pieces that are elemental and plain as possible, extending Lundy’s’ meditations on the macabre with her stark minimalist aesthetic and examination of the esoteric role of the raw object.
Cork Films Centers’ site on the old Gunpowder Mills has offered a sympathetic space for the shows ethos owing to the locations history as engine of dust and destruction.
These are the minor works. Not so much nebulous as nothingness. There is at once an active acknowledgement of their futility as well as their essential value in imparting that very ideology.
Thurs. 18th September to Sat. 11th October
