The Clock has been designed to depict how knowing what is going to happen at any given time can only be experienced in the given moment… Writing in diaries we promise to attend meetings, we pencil and mark in time’s and dates as though we actually have any idea of the future.

Dr. Ron Ph.D. Collective

The Dr. Ron Ph.D. Collective is a unique collaboration between two
artists (Sinead Conlon & John Cashin) who being fed up with the
current state of modern art decided to take it upon themselves to try
in their own small way to do something about it. All works are made
in complete and utter collaboration from idea to finished piece.

The moment where the idea takes shape and enters the flesh,
drawing blood, opening bodies to air, a knitting together, spillage and
contamination. Sound is the creature; a thing with feathers. Grúpat
works primarily in sound, with work ranging from strictly-notated
compositions to graphic scores, sculptures, sound installations and
interventions. Bohernabreena is a work by Turf Boon, Flor Hartigan,
Bulletin M, Violetta Mahon, Ukeoirn O’Connor and Detleva Verens.
Bohernabreena plays with this shift, drifting between the unconventional scores which produced the sounds and the sounds themselves.
paula naughton

In her work, Naughton digs into specific locations through the use of
photography; documenting derelict buildings, mining their
memories and recording the human absence. This excavation and
deconstruction of locations can show transitional history unfolding
and using the momentariness of the present creates intimate
moments of reverie with the viewer.

Base Desires Stacy is a London-based artist, whose work plunges into the realms
of writing, performance, film, animation, sculpting, and installation
building. Recurrent themes in her work include love, loneliness,
desire and memory told from the point of view of a foreigner. The
body in her work is infused with memory, representing a constant
longing for the foreign, all the while homesick for the familiar.

Rollie Pollie Head" Months had passed, but it had gotten worse. No amount of Bulmer’s cider, ciggys and trashy mags could make it stop. I felt dizzy, disorientated and nauseous. It seemed I might collapse on the floor at any moment. Afterwards, I felt dizzier, more disorientated, inconceivably nauseous. But strangely, I felt relief."

Attic This piece is a tongue and cheek exploration of the artist's real and imagined fears. One could say her idea of “hospitality,” has
changed considerably in the past year. An avid mover, her perpetual relocations from country to country city to city have finally landed Her back “home.”

deirdre o'mahony

In September 2007 the former post office in Kilnaboy, Co Clare
was re-opened by Deirdre O’Mahony. Her aim is to revive the site
as a community point of contact, reactivating the kind of incidental
community energy that was once commonly associated with the
day to day business of rural Post Offices all over Ireland. The
X-PO Pamphlet will document the changing of the space from an
unhomely, vacant, redundant space into a welcoming, active public
space and present the record of this transformation as a free-sheet
to be distributed at TULCA venues.

Supported by Clare County Council

The X-PO Pamphlet will be launched on Saturday 24th November at 3pm in the Pink Cottage, 9 Henry Street.
