Radio Tombs and Interruption
Applying the Golden Bough theme as underlining support structure for showcasing significant art practices, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane has invited distinguished contemporary artists to exhibit in Gallery 8 of Charlemont House. The Golden Bough suite continues with a selection of work by artist Garrett Phelan.
Entitled Radio Tombs and Interruption this project of new work consists of sculptural and drawing elements, all black in colour and each holding their meaning within their physical form. Radios are buried within each of the sculptures, or Tombs, broadcasting a barely audible random radio signal. Phelan does not use artificial light in the space, only the natural light falling from the ceiling above. Texts are cast onto the concrete surface of the Radio Tombs adding a cryptic entry point into the meaning of the work.
