Choreography, visual art, spoken word, dance, music, sounds, and symbols will come together in NUI Galway for what promises to be a complex and mesmerising performance art and installation piece.
It Is The Wave That Cracks The Wax…an organisation of the memory, 2008, will be launched in the NUIG Art Gallery, the Quadrangle, on Wednesday at 6pm with a lecture demonstration.
It Is The Wave That Cracks The Wax… is an ongoing collaborative process between the choreographic installation artist, writer, director, dancer and performer Ursula Mawson-Raffalt, and the painting, light, sound, video and media artist Anthony J Faulder-Mawson. Both are co-founders and artistic directors of the International Platform for Innovation in the Arts.
The piece will be performed from Wednesday to Saturday in the Bank of Ireland Theatre, NUIG, at 8.15pm. Admission is €10.
This will be accompanied by Faulder-Mawson’s paintings, entitled dia duit a Gaillimh_b.o.n.j.o.u.r.Galway. This exhibition runs Monday to Saturday, 12 noon to 5pm, from Wednesday until October 8, in the University Art Gallery.
“Ursula and Anthony,” said NUIG Arts Officer Fionnuala Gallagher, “are breaking boundaries through individual viewpoints and high-level technique, involving the natural and complex processes of life with startling results.”
