Join Belinda Quirke and exhibiting artist, Isabel Nolan in this joint live performance in response to and concerning Nolan’s exhibition flotsam, jetsam, lagan and derelict. Together they will respond to and further explore related trajectories through sound improvisation and spoken word.
Belinda Quirke explores the universal geometric foundation, and nature of sound, through experimentation with electronic sound materials. The space between, how we listen, where we listen, and what we hear, is ultimately individually experiential, and species dependent. Quirke uses voice, vintage Juno 6 Synthesiser and stylophone combining palindromic medieval systems and inverted Tectractys structures in construction.

Isabel Nolan
Isabel Nolan’s work includes sculpture, textiles, paintings, drawings, photography and writing. Her work responds to the fundamental question of how humans bring the world into meaning. How we make, (through science, politics, agriculture, religion, etcetera), reality happens. Whether examining the knees of a 17th C sculpture, perceptions of a Neolithic artefact, the shifting symbolic status of a donkey or images of distant galaxies, Nolan looks for the ways we can like, or even love, the difficult and complex human world we’ve made.
