Note the gallery will having varying opening hours during this residency. See website for individual events and times.

With echoes of ‘telepathy’, ‘synchronicity’ and ‘empathy’, Syncopathy is an exercise in cross-dimensional movement. Noisy channels lead artist and audience towards a condition of syncopation, that is, an off-the-beat moment of dissonance. Through noise, radio, sculptural objects, transient situations and liminal performance, four artists will engage The Joinery and its surrounding area of Stoneybatter as a kind of portal, revealing strange and dark planes of being.

Following Catherine Clément, the withdrawn syncope is not an abdication of political agency but a firm assertion of passive resistance: “A limited rebellion; the political idea is on the edge of weakness. Surprisingly, this glaring weakness contains a raging force.” 1 Like empathy, syncope evokes a passionate state existing in opposition to apathy that this series of events seeks to embody. Exterior and ulterior to the everyday, Syncopathy attempts the potentially impossible translation of this world onto another wavelength.

‘Syncopathy’ is a month long curatorial residency by Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty, as part of the Invited Curators Series. Ruth and Niamh have been working collaboratively, both as artists and curators, since graduating from NCAD in 2010. Their practice encompasses performance, video, sound installation and storytelling, along with a detailed research process to convey visions of temporality and eternity.
