Frith Street Gallery, London is hosting “If The Ground Should Open...” by Jake Irvine from March 3 through April 13, 2017. “The Ground Should Open...” is a major new multimedia-channel video work made to commemorate the Easter Rising. The piece takes as a point of departure from Irvine’s 2013 novel “Days of Surrender,” which focuses on Elizabeth O’ Farrell and Julia Grenan, women involved in the 1916 Rising. This video and sound installation uses the women’s names as “the ground” of a score for nine musicians. The 11 tracks were composed by Irvine using the canntaireachd system. Commenting on her work, Irvine said “With If the Ground Should Open… the legacy of 1916 is reconsidered in the light of a contemporary Ireland broken by corporate greed. Both the past and the present are reflected through a lens that is complicated, joyful, furious and hopeful.”The exhibition is on view at 17-18 Golden Square, London W1F 9JJFor details, visit: www.frithstreetgallery.comClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
