beyond, beneath, Beside explores the context of the Tea Houses and their proximity to the River Nore. During her residency, artist Kate Fahey investigated the locale, including Talbot’s Inch model arts and crafts village, the former Greenvale Woolen Mills, and engaged with the rich subterranean, cultural and industrial history associated with the river. Positioning tactile encounters with the material world at the centre of this inquiry, the exhibition explores a sense of networked and interconnected resonances across time and space, situated beyond, beneath and beside the riverbank.
The Tea Houses are situated by the River Nore in Kilkenny city centre and have been acquired by Kilkenny Arts Office to host an art programme that encourages a sense of community and active citizenship.
