EXPANDING REALITIES CORK WORKSHOP IS OVER AND PERCEPTIONS 2016 IS ON THE HORIZON.

Friday saw the close of the Expanding Realities workshops in Cork, the third and final workshop of the series. There was an impressive level of openness, creativity, experimentation and exchange from the artists involved. The partners will continue to work together. Artists from all partners will represented in the Perceptions 2016  exhibition in September this year. There will also be representation of the journey of the workshops.

ROSALEEN MOORE'S SPIKE ISLAND TRIP

Rosaleen had a great time during the week of Expanding Realites going on the Spike Island trip as well as working in the Open Studio and having a Meet the artist event at the Union Grind Coffee Shop.

The Expanding Realities trip to Spike Island was an opportunity for all the artists to explore travel, mobility, freedom and home; themes that are currently being explored by the GASP artists. They travelled by foot, train and boat to reach the Island that is abundant in culture and with a history of religion and incarceration.  It was also an opportunity to experiment together and share some of the project experiences up to that point. Belén Sanchez brought her mobile music machine, Dave Pearse shared poetry, Imna Pavon, Yvonne Condon, Itziar Martín Montes and John Whelan shared some of their dance collaboration, and Derek Foot and Jeff Johns focused on gathering sound recordings for the day.
