For the first night of her residency, Áine O'Dwyer bring together an evening of folklore and performance featuring talks from Irish author, storyteller, lecturer and broadcaster Eddie Lenihan and Welsh-born and London-based writer and filmmaker Iain Sinclair – who will be talking about 'The Last London' as a stretched city, losing touch with itself, a city of ghosts – plus a presentation by Áine O'Dwyer of recorded sound walks from a recent research trip to Medjugorjie, Bosnia.
Áine O'Dwyer, (b. Co.Limerick, Ireland) who lives and works between Ireland and the UK. She graduated from the Limerick School of Art and Design in 2006 and the Slade School of Art in 2011. She creates live and recorded events which embrace the broader aesthetics of sound and its relationship to environment, time, audience and structure. The notion of a holding space as-extension-of-instrument is a cornerstone of her artistic investigation and the crux of her live performances.
