A busy, stimulating day, to begin with discussing much with Catherine Bowe in Wexford,
then crossing the country diagonally via Kilkenny, stopping along the way for further video calls, to eventually pick up a box of work in Galway, right where we used to swim, and where dad was a kind of lifeguard, and the skin and blister Cecily used to boldly jumped from the top of Blackrock diving board, no problem.
And then back in the Drogheda direction
Reflections from a series of four residencies completed by Micheál O'Connell at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre in 2021 and 2022 to create new work in response to an Arts Council Commissions Award granted in 2020. Initially the work forms a solo exhibition, 'System Interference', which opened at Uillinn on 17th Sep. 2022, and will then, thanks to Touring and Dissemination funding, travel to Wexford Arts Centre (from Aug. 2023) and Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda (opening Nov. 2023).
