The Edges exhibition is curated by Kay Aplin and Joseph Young in partnership with sound artist and curator Richard Carr and is the penultimate part of our current project EDGES, which started in May 2022 with Peripheries, the results of a residency for ceramic artists from Estonia collaborating with sound artists from Ireland, accompanied by an exhibition of Estonian Contemporary Ceramics. In May 2023, we presented Crossings, an exhibition of contemporary Irish ceramics at The Ceramic House. In June 2023 lead artists Kay Aplin and Joseph Young undertook a residency at Interface in Connemara, Co. Galway, followed by a residency at Watts Gallery in autumn 2023 where they created new work inspired by both sites. This work will be presented at Wexford Arts Centre alongside the results of the Peripheries residency and a new commission between an Irish ceramist and an Estonian sound artist.
Artists:
Kay Aplin, Juss Heinsalu, Pille Kaleviste, Patrick Tubin McGinley, Linda O’Keeffe, Suzanne Walsh, Katharine West, Joseph Young
EDGES is a ceramics & sound art collaborative project involving three nations at the western and eastern edges of Europe – Ireland, Estonia and the UK. The project focuses on international exchange and residencies with artists collaborating across the disciplines of ceramics and sound art. Outcomes include exhibitions, presentations, performances, geo-located sound walks and community engagement activities.
We look forward to welcoming you there!
