Danny McCarthy | Haunted By Silence The Vaults @ Lavit Gallery 26 June – 20 July 2024 The sound installation Haunted By Silence stems from hours the artist has spent “just listening” in the church of St Marys Abbey Glencairn, County Waterford. In the evenings when the Abbey Church heating system is turned off the wood in the building begins to contract causing various sounds to occur in different parts of the church.

Go for a walk downtown on any night and just open your ears; the streets are buzzing with music. And happily for those with ‘o

A Sound Walk for Culture Night in the town of Midleton. Led by the artist Danny McCarthy. McCarthy is vastly experience in the field of Sound Walks having led his first walk over twenty years ago and led walks all over Ireland and abroad.. The walk will take a circular route around the town where participants will be able to mindfully listen to the various sounds of the town old and new, big and small and develop a listening practice of their own. The walk will encompass sites that once had very different distinctive sounds associated with them to the sounds that are now there. The walk takes place at 7pm and gives plenty of time to attend other Culture Night events before and after. Coming soon so save the date
