In 2006, he founded the Quiet Club with Mick O’Shea, a floating membership sound (art and electronics) performance group. He is a founding director of Triskel Arts Centre and the National Sculpture Factory. A book + CD on his work entitled “LISTEN Hear” was published by Farpoint Recordings, and his work has appeared on numerous CDs, most recently “Soundcast 4×4+1” on Farpoint Recordings.</p><p style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">IRENE MURPHY’s work questions the role of the artist, creative space, and engages with a broader concept of creativity. A common link in her art are ideas about performativeness, site specificity and communality with Murphy’s art acts being private interventions into public space. She is active in initiating and participating in many group and collaborative projects and events, such as The YOYO Club, Ideal State Agency, Electric Rain, Us Live and Club House. The creative trio The Domestic Godless use food and hosting as their chosen medium. Murphy is a founder member of the Cork Artists Collective and The Guesthouse.</p><p style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">MICK O’SHEA works spring from his essential experience in drawing. His medium includes sculpture, drawing, sound and cooking. In 2003 O’Shea and fellow artist Stephen Brandes and Irene Murphy set up the collaborative practice, The Domestic Godless which, through performative cooking events, explores culinary activity as art practice and tests assumptions about the cultural traditions of food in challenging and often irreverent and absurdist ways. In 2006 he formed The Quiet Club with Danny McCarthy to promote and showcase improvised music and soundworks. O’Shea is a member and director of the Cork Artists Collective.</p><p style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">ANTHONY KELLY & DAVID STALLING have been collaborating on a series of sound and visual works since 2003. Together the make sound and video installations. Their work encompasses a shared practice of recycling ‘objets trouveés’ of sound, visual and text material in their ongoing collaborative sessions. The juxtaposition of contrasting material results in a series of audio/visual ‘musique concrète’ pieces. Kelly and Stalling also perform live improvisations, as a duo as well as with others, such as The Quiet Club, Barbara Lüneburg and Jennifer Walshe. Some of their recent performances include Just Listening, LSAD Limerick, the i-and-e festival 2011, Dublin, Sonic Vigil, Cork, The Goethe-Institut,Dublin, Hilltown New Music Festival, Visual in Carlow, Soundwave 2, Cobh, and Kaleidoscope at The Odessa Club. They founded the sound art label Farpoint Recordings in 2005, publishing projects by artists such as Danny McCarthy, The Quiet Club and Linda O’Keeffe amongst others alongside their own work.</p><div style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
