The First Fathom
Catch 21,- The First Fathom
The First Fathom aims to produce several out-side broadcasts in the form of art works situated in surprising, unusual and in situ positions which can start a dialog with beach users. By using exciting artistic visual engagements in situ walkers and other beach users, can experience art outside of a gallery situation which is of a temporal nature. The works may in themselves be experimental. All art works are subject to both tide wind and weather. And of course, all the usual corvid safety considerations
The forthcoming exhibition titled Catch 21 - The first Fathom will show the work of 12 Artist in each of the Beach Venues over four days.
This is a new Idea, although previous successful gallery-based iterations include Catch 2017 and Catch 2019 both held indoors in Stella Maris Centre Kilmore Quay. The target audience is a mixture of resident beach going community -
The project will also be documented daily via a web/ blog and so there would be an online audience also.
The project will operate out of three areas– “Between Tides Gallery “on the little beach and “The Good Tide Gallery “on the Burrow Beach and the Glacier Gallery on St Patrick’s Bridge.
