Studio1: Aisling Roche & David Bickley, Biolum, 6 to 27 February 2024, Open studio: Tuesdays and Saturdays
This is a unique project fusing elements of craft, visual art, marine science, film and immersive sound design. The aim is to produce a visceral experience that is wholly inclusive to a wide demographic — channelling inner and outer landscapes as connected fragments and creating interstices that allow the viewer inside the core concept at a level anticipated to generate genuine connectivity.

Studio 2: Claire Hurley, 8 January to 27 February 2024
My work is concerned with the interface between our emotional world as individuals and the world around us. I am interested in exploring the space between stimulus and response, and how we express ourselves through clothing and adornment fascinates me. I work in response to my immediate environment and the often discarded or overlooked materials around me. Using found or natural materials, my work draws attention to our relationship with the natural world and our impact upon it.

UCC and Bollinger Family Space: Dance Artist in Residence, West Cork 2021 Ongoing: Luke Murphy.
Since 2015, the Dance Artist in Residence Programme at Uillinn has enabled opportunities for the people of West Cork to have access to, and engagement with contemporary dance practice of excellence. ‘As an artist with a deeply rooted connection to both Cork city and county it has been a consistent part of my practice to consider the needs and habits of local audiences. Working in a form based in abstraction, without a long history nationally, I believe that working to build audiences and increase exposure to contemporary dance, beyond the metropolitan centre and the core national festival programmes throughout the country, is crucial to the development of vibrant ecology for dance to develop and flourish nationally.’
