Our satellite summer project Singing Stones began its research in archives and onsite this August in West Donegal.

In Singing Stones the artist Cathal McGinley and the curator/researcher Declan Sheehan are making new work with the stone featured in fragments of Irish archives – from maps, to newspapers, to hunger and welfare, crime and punishment, performance and art.

Look out for #singingstones online and onsite in West Donegal, as part of Cathal McGinley’s open studio at An Gailearai in Gweedore from September to mid October 2020.

There’s a first extraction from the archives on the project’s Facebook link here: Messrs. RICHARDSON will perform, for the first time in this country, on their newly-invented and most extraordinary Instrument, THE ROCK HARMONICON
