Culture Night at Kunstverein Aughrim brings together artist Jenny Brady and composer Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh for an evening of live performance. Marking the opening of Brady’s exhibition ‘The Reference Library’, the programme offers an opportunity to encounter two distinct artistic practices in dialogue, exploring the relationships between voice, listening, language and sound.

The evening begins with a welcome from curator Kate Strain, followed by an introduction by Jenny Brady to ‘The Reference Library’, an exhibition showing a selection of moving image works that examine speech, translation and the structures through which meaning is produced and shared. Responding to the exhibition, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh will present a live solo performance. Her practice moves between composition and improvisation, using repetition, resonance and sustained tones to create attentive listening environments that extend and reframe the concerns of Brady’s work.
