With quirky compositions, tasty arrangements and a captivating voice, Edel Meade is emerging as a promising young jazz singer. Influenced by Joni Mitchell, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott as much as traditional and contemporary jazz stylists, her original music has garnered high praise at home and abroad from Ireland's leading jazz vocalist Honor Heffernan to vocal jazz legend Sheila Jordan.

 

Seven Folds in Time by Jaki Irvine, a major new multi-screen video installation commissioned by and made specifically for Temple Bar Gallery. Jaki Irvine’s work in film and video, whether in single-screen format or in more complex multi-screen installations, weaves together enticing, though ultimately elusive narratives in which image and musical score variously overlap, coalesce and diverge. These languid explorations of human interaction with the natural world, the built environment, and with other humans are suffused with a melancholic lyricism, sometimes leavened by a dreamlike humour. Subjectivities split and fragment as the boundaries that separate self from other become fluid or permeable.
