MAGDALENE opens in the Glucksman
You are cordially invited to, MAGDALENE, the new audio-visual installation by Mary J. King (UCC Music). The installation runs at The Glucksman from 5-20 Dec. It is free, open to the public, and part of a wonderfully curated set of critically insightful pieces in the Gallery's second-floor Sisk Spaces.
The Magdalene installation is comprised of four extended loops of varying lengths that run independently:
1.) projected video footage shot at the Good Shepherd Laundry in Cork
2.) processed audio from the Magdalene Oral History Archive interview with "Kathleen" (a Laundry Survivor);
3.) composed audio comprised of field recordings and instrumental recordings;
4.) a small screen that scrolls the text of the 2nd-century Gospel of Mary (Magdalene).
The constantly evolving interaction of the four independent temporal layers invites listeners/observers to make their own connections between past/present and ask themselves who is listened to (or not) and why?
Magdalene is an installation about listening to women.
