'Soul Noir: Festival of the Dark Arts' is a three day independent festival of art and music opening this Halloween at 13 North Great George's Street, Dublin.
The festival is initiated by former Ormond Studio Project Residency recipient Sinead Keogh and runs from October 31st until November 2nd.
Please join us for Culture Night at Ormond Studios this Friday. Ormond Studios will be open from 5pm till 10pm and you will have a chance to peek behind the curtains and see our working studio space, chat to the artists and gain an insight into their practice.
I was delighted to have the opportunity to participate in the Professional Development Masterclass for Art Technicians provided by EVA International and CCA Derry~Londonderry. The first of two sessions took place at Ormston House in Limerick City from 15th of September till 17th of September 2017.

Performing a Translation is the first exhibition of work by current members of Ormond Studios since its relocation. ‘Translation’ is a term used in geometry to describe a function that moves an object a certain distance. The object is not altered in any other way. It is not rotated, reflected or re-sized. In a translation, every point of the object must be moved in the same direction and for the same distance.
In moving from No. 6 to No. 4 Ormond Quay, Ormond Studios have performed this translation, preserving the studio as a nucleus of art-making, a place to translate, test and transform ideas. Works reflect on this geometric term in an expanded sense, interpreting translation more broadly as a paradigm of mediation that includes aesthetic, political, topographical and intertextual transformations.
This exhibition is held in conjunction with Bealtaine Festival 2017.
