In 2008 there will be the start of a new series on the fifth and sixth floors of LONELY AT THE TOP. The presentations are conceived as a group exhibition which unfolds and spreads out in time, in six chapters. The common thread throughout these chapters is ‘sound’; as a mediator, as a tool for communication, as a political platform, as a mapping of social space and as a relational force. |

| In his work Holylands, Irish artist Seamus Harahan, juxtaposes a soundtrack of folk and popular music, with images filmed in an area of Belfast called Holylands where the artist lived. Footage of youths ripping open a water pipe in a minor act of delinquency are coupled with an Irish Ballad - producing an atmosphere of melancholia that obliquely references the generations of young man caught up in the troubles as well as the disenfranchised condition of a persistent economic underclass in the city. | ||||||
