Judith Ring and Seoidín O'Sullivan have received a Dun Laoghaire Arts Council Grant to further develop this Project. http://www.dlrcoco.ie/arts/Arts_Grant_Recipients_2013.pdf.
We aim to develop new work exploring the link between drawing and contemporary music. We had applied for funding to include other artists and musicians in this project but unfortunately only received a quarter of what we had asked for.
Our proposal "Music composer Judith Ring and visual artist Seoidín O' Sullivan would like to curate an event for the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown area. We both have a proven track record as artists and project curators. We would like to bring together contemporary artists and musicians from the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown area to create new work for this event.
It seems to us that visual artists and contemporary musicians very rarely converse in Dublin and this Summer we would like to create a space/ platform for this(conversation/ performance/ exhibition). Drawing has an interesting relationship to music so we would like to invite local contemporary artists and contemporary musicians to workshop their ideas and respond through exhibition by examining the relationship between drawing and sound."
We will use this initial funding to explore and research the project further, linking into specific sites in Dun Laoghaire. Hopefully next year we will receive a budget that might make a bigger event possible.
