A project by Séamus Bradley

Live performance 6-9pm Thurs 27th August

Icarus Crane is a character / project name invented days before the exhibition of his first piece The Forger Of The String Between The Starry Heavens Above And The Moral Law Within; an interactive, projection-based performance installation.

Please to enjoy the exhibition as designed for the pleasure participation welcome is a continuation of research into the working of the human mind, how its functions and malfunctions can be reflected in image, sound and text with a focus on non-linear, durational narrative elements.

This installation of sound, text and drawing concerns itself with the relationship between reality and fantasy in the individual mind. It uses a combination of language and image drawn from sources ranging from factual texts to automatic drawing to surrealism. It touches on subjects such as Northern European art history, the biological function of sleep, the worship of dead heroes and romantic obsession.

An online presentation of interactive, digital drawings designed in anticipation of the exhibition can be found athttp://pleasetoenjoytheexhibition.blogspot.com:

Stephanie Power

8 Aug, 7 – 12 pm – The Market Studios

Stephanie Power revisits some of the abandoned creativity of childhood with the creation of an over-sized coloring book that will be colored and painted by those attending the night. Several musicians present loops of music that will provide a backdrop for participants to play along with on a large selection of instruments normally used by children. All art supplies used on the night will be donated to Women’s Aid for their childrens’ programs and donations for the charity will also be taken on the night.
