"Strange Attractor 6" in Cork

Last Saturday, 2 April 2011, Crawford Art Gallery in Cork played host to another in a continuing series of performances that tie in with their group installation Strange Attractor. The gallery and curator Dawn Williams should be congratulated on this dynamic intermedia project, which has been running since November 2010 and now takes the form of a residency in the first floor gallery space. As you can see from my photos, this is a lovely environment of wood and light, decked out on the occasion with sound sculptures, wall installations, a reading and listening library and more.

The exhibition continues at the gallery and will be joined by events around the city for the Just Listen festival, about which more later. In addition I have been invited to take part in a series of impromptu performances at the gallery some time later in April.

Strange Attractor 6 included the participation of Steve Roden, Anthony Kelly, David Stalling, Danny McCarthy, Irene Murphy and Mick O'Shea. Photos of each artist follow. As always you can click through to get larger on Flickr.
