May the moon rise and the sun set is a solo exhibition of new installation, painting and collage work at UCC Music Department, Cork City curated by Chris Clarke and produced by The Glucksman as part of Cork Midsummer Festival 2019.
Exhibition opens 14th June 2019 and runs daily until 23rd June 2019.
Using the unique history and architecture of the building to create an ambitious large-scale installation artwork, the work includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, indigenous and religious art, paraphernalia (both found and fabricated) as well as objects including musical instruments, books, lights, rugs, carpets, clothing, scraps of paper, sketches, countercultural newspapers, playing cards, psychedelic posters and everyday detritus.
The installation also incorporates elements of sound and video work, including music composed from tape loops of pre-recorded repetitive drone, folk and psychedelic music, cut-up monologues and video from found sources. These materials reference makeshift shamanic shrines and dilapidated places of worship, sub-cultural interests in folk ritual and the hippie communes of the 1960s and 70s.
A transient midsummer offering, May the moon rise and the sun set exists only in this edition, for this time in this space.
