Aonní (collaborative music project of Aisling Ór Ní Aodha and Colm Keadley-Tabbal)

Aisling-Ór Ní Aodha is a visual artist based in Dublin and Wicklow. Her practice interrogates ‘the aesthetic of environmental perception’ through the medium of sound, text, sculpture and painting. 

Colm Keady Tabbal is an artist based in Dublin. Their ongoing project Noise Architecture operates as a performative architectural firm, exploring theories of noise in relation to audio culture, urbanism and public policy. 

The Narrow Gate of the Here-and-Now: The Anthropocene, considers the present geological era in which human activity has become visible as a dominant and destructive influence on Earth. Expanding the focus on rising sea levels, heat waves and species extinction, the exhibition looks at the temporalities and underlying structures of the Anthropocene.

The artworks in this chapter all deal with time in different ways. Some, including by Karrabing Collective, Frank Sweeney and Edy Fung, point to specific moments in history – from World War II to the Y2K Millennium Bug and the 2003 SARS outbreak. Others explore deep time, with Dennis McNulty’s sonic installation, which references a 1930 sci-fi novel, plotting a timeline spanning billions of years from ‘Earth Formed’ to ‘Second Solar Catastrophe’. While prints by Katie Paterson and, Leanne McDonagh propel fictions tied to the natural world into futures as yet unknown.
