Brian Leach’s () soundscape provides the ambient atmosphere for A Crack in the Mountain, now showing . The piece plays with our notions of time, perception, and light. Time is slowed, we are challenged to perceive the world on a geological scale, and to view the light of day from within the darkness of Plato’s cave which is the inspiration for the exhibition.

Don’t miss it. We are open at the top of Shandon Street in Cork City Tuesday 11-4, Saturday 11-6 and Thursday, Friday 11-4.

Brian Leach is a composer and musician based in Ireland. He brings together new technology and old traditions to create immersive music which transports the audience, using custom electronics and
acoustic instruments such as hammered dulcimer and uilleann pipes.

Tom Doig’s () Allegory of the Cave, now showing , is an evolving sculptural projection assemblage that utilises a variety of found and restored analogue projectors to create a sculptural montage of illuminated elements.

Don’t miss it. We are open at the top of Shandon Street in Cork City Tuesday 11-4, Saturday 11-6 and Thursday, Friday 11-4.

Borrowing its title from Plato’s allegory in The Republic, the work draws on the projection of shadows onto a cave wall as a metaphor for the relationship between perception and reality. Using paper fragments extracted from encyclopaedic and educational imagery, the
work engages with shared visual systems that shape how we explain, categorise, and understand the universe.
