TYNDALL'S BLUES - VISUAL CARLOW

Mark Joyce and Fergal Dowling
23 July - 18 October

Tyndall’s Blues is an artistic collaboration between visual artist Mark Joyce and composer Fergal Dowling which responds to the transparent skin of Visual Carlow.

Tyndall’s Blues uses blue light and intermittent ‘refracted' sound to explore the work of Carlow, Leighlinbridge born John Tyndall (1820-93), the brilliant nineteenth-century experimental physicist, alpinist, progressive public intellectual and gifted science educator. 

Mark Joyce explores the anomalies and phenomenological strangeness of our optical experience, with ideas drawn from scientific and philosophical concepts of physical light. He studied Painting at the Royal College of Art, London, has had solo exhibitions in Ireland, UK, and the USA, won awards from The British Council, Thomas Damman Trust, and the Georgette Chen fellowship in 2016. His work is in the collections of the IMMA and the Arts Council of Ireland.
