Cleary + Connolly

Artist talk: ‘Luas Carol’

Thursday 23 September 2010, 5:30 – 6:30 pm

As part of the screening programme, Denis Connolly (Cleary + Connolly) will talk about the filmic representation of a journey on Dublin’s Light Rail System where words, sounds and images from across times merge and collide ‘to recreate the dreamy, almost drugged state that one slips into while looking out of the window of a moving train.’

Cleary + Connolly are the 2009 recipients of the AIB Prize and have exhibited widely in Ireland and internationally, including Barbican, London, and Pompidou Centre, Paris.

Gary Coyle

Live solo performance: ‘At Sea’

Thursday 23 September 2010, 7:00 – 8:00 pm

For the past decade, Gary Coyle has swum daily at the Forty Foot in Sandycove and has kept a detailed record of his experiences through diaries and photographs. Gary Coyle’s solo performance explores his observations and conversations – often with himself – in a prose style which is full of imagery, humorous anecdotes, and witty self-analysis. Coyle’s performance is not to be missed.

Admission is free to both events but places are limited so early arrival is advised.
