Opening Thursday 3 Setpember POST an exhibition by Stuart Coughlan and Declan Rooney



POST
CORK•NEW YORK•BERLIN•COBH
An exhibition by
Stuart Coughlan and Declan Rooney
Opening reception
Thursday 3 September 7pm


Running until Sunday 27 September
POST is an exhibition based on the long running visual dialogue between two artists, Berlin based Declan Rooney and cork Based Stuart Coughlan.
This dialogue, conducted through the traditional postal system reflects both artists interest in mark making, collecting ephemera, ritual, repetition and personal mythologies. With the widespread use of electronic media, communication has become more immediate and sanitized. The artists reflect on the comparative slowness of the traditional mail system and the tactile qualities of paper, card and tape as it passes through hands, modes of transportation and crosses land and sea.

Sirius Arts Centre Presents

Friday 21 & Saturday 22 August
Tir na nOg
Featuring Sonny Condell and Leo O’Kelly


Tickets €18 per night – tickets still available!
Both concerts will be recorded live for future release!
Formed in Dublin in 1969, Tír na nÓg featuring Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell are often considered one of the first progressive folk bands with other artist like Nick Drake and Pentangle. Their music is made up of their own compositions based on strong Celitc roots and features intricate acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. From 1971 to 1973 Tír na nÓg made three critically acclaimed studio albums and toured internationally.

The band broke up in 1974 and pursued solo careers in Ireland. Condell recorded his own material and went on to form Scullion, O’Kelly pursued a career as a producer and has also released solo projects. The duo reformed in 1985 and have toured around since then. This is a great opportunity to see two masterful musicians together again and be a part of this important live recording.
