| Chanelle Walshe is a Dublin based artist currently in her final year at NCAD. Walshe’s self-reflective work highlights her interest in the enigmatic relationship between artist and nature. Her latest work, a series of large scale paintings based on nests and cocoons, pays close attention to this concept. Walshe says of her work ; ‘I want to project an intimate understanding of these natural forms through painting, I like to handle paint – literally throw it around – as if I have just put my hand into the earth and pulled up a fistful of muck and roots. Examination and understanding makes my paintings what they are.’’ Walshe’s exhibition ‘Paintings’ opens in The Joinery on Arbour Hill, Stoneybatterr, Dublin 7 on October 15th and continues until October 18th. |

| The irresistible, revolutionary folk-duo from Norway dedicated to the pioneers of splatter-folk, deathbed lullabies, doomballadry and snuff-pop; Thinguma*jigSaw! ...being Martha Redivivus (aka Little Myth); flute, musical saw, melodica, bowed and plucked banjos, acoustic guitar, mandolin, ukulele, voice - and Seth H. Buncombe (aka The Severed Headmaster, The AwkWarden, The Invisible Choirboy, The Merciful Misanthrope); banjo and voice. New York artist Mike "Sport" Murphy is a kind of postmodern cabaret singer, an endearing nut who synthesizes a variety of musical styles into brief bursts of jubilant pathos and playfulness. He has the big, unlovely but loveable voice of classic singing-songwriting eccentrics like Randy Newman or The Magnetic Fields' Stephen Merritt that lends itself perfectly to his theatrical, occasionally baroque pop songs, many of which almost feel like they could have been written for the stage. To call this music lush would be an understatement; Murphy throws everything into his songs, including a wide array of percussion, horns (trumpet, trombone, French horn), organs and pianos (upright, grand, and toy), strings (mandolin, cello, ukulele, cittern, and violin), and didgeridoo. For good measure, he mixes in the noises of toys and kitchen implements, found sounds and cut-ups, and other assorted studio goofiness. Check out arlt at http://www.myspace.com/arltmusic |
