“Found Sound (Lost At Sea) 11.1.11” is the title of a sound installation by the artist Danny Mc Carthy and will be presented by the Crawford Gallery on Wed 11th Jan 2012 from 10 am -6pm during which time the work will sound intermittently.
The work was created as a result of the artist’s interest in acoustic ecology and will commemorate the loss of the sound of the foghorn from Irish Lighthouses and the Irish coast on the 11th Jan 2011 on which date they ceased to sound.
The installation consists of the sound of a foghorn which will sound intermittently throughout the city centre for the day. The work was originally presented as part of Strange Attractor exhibition/residency in the Crawford Gallery in April last year.
It has been agreed with the Gallery for the installation to be presented on the 11th Jan each year for the next five years . The artist is currently exhibiting in the gallery as part of “A Rocky Road” the Sean Lynch curated exhibition.
