Garth Gratrix In Collaboration with... Fearghus Ó Conchúir
About the event
To mark the final week of Dip In the Pool, Garth Gratrix's debut solo exhibition in Ireland, the artist invites acclaimed dancer and choreographer Fearghus Ó Conchúir to join them for a live collaboration beginning on Bray beachfront and travelling inward to Mermaid Arts Centre.
Convening at Bray Bandstand, the pair will activate looking, viewing, being voyeurs of a kind - before a processionary return on foot to Mermaid's Gallery and Gratrix's installation. A new phase of movement and gesture will take place, with the artists simultaneously casting the roles of spectator, voyeur, observer, and participant, before an informal conversation and reflection mediated by Curator Anne Mullee.
Ó Conchúir works from and with the body directly; Gratrix works with what the body leaves behind. Remnants, traces, abstractions. Connecting the beach and the gallery, the two artists create something that meets somewhere in the middle. Taking artworks from Gratrix's solo show, Dip in the Pool, outside the gallery and back again.
You are invited to follow the artists, and become the first to witness this new artwork in person.
