Interface Inagh

Interface Inagh Art studio and residency programme in Connemara. Interface offers artists catalysing opportunities to explore intersections between science and art.

Interface is a residency programme for visual artists, dancers, writers and musicians, situated in the Inagh Valley, in the heart of Connemara.Our vision is that artists will have the space, time and resources to create, inspired by the special synthesis of science and nature which exists at the Inagh Valley Trust Facility.

We are profoundly saddened by the tragic death of Atija in Clifden yesterday. Loss of life is tragic in every instance. But gender based violence is an epidemic, and stretches into every corner of society. Our hearts are with the victim and her children. Rest in Peace Atija.

Artist Talk with Simon Whetham
Friday, May 29th, 3pm at Interface.

Join us next week to meet our current artist in residence Simon Whetham as he discusses his new project ,Channelling Location, that he has been developing at Interface.

Since 2005 Simon Whetham has developed a practice of working with sonic activity. He often uses environmental sound, employing a variety of methods and techniques to obtain unnoticed and obscured sonic phenomena. He explores ways of channelling and transforming energy, and how to salvage and repurpose obsolete consumer technology in kinetic sound works.

He performs and exhibits internationally, participating in A4 Residency Art Center (CN), Chiba City Art Triennale (JP), Som Desorganizado (PT), Klangmanifeste (AT), Noise Istanbul (TK), New Adits (AT), Simultan (RO), Sonica Festival (SI), 28.MFRU (SI), phonon~festival (CZ), NEXT Festival (SK), Fresh Winds Biennale (IS), Klub Katarakt Festival (DE), Nakanojo Biennale (JP), ACC Showcase (KR), Blurred Edges (DE), Tsonami Festival (CL), Madeiradig (PT) and Moers Festival (DE); has a large number of published works; and regularly collaborates with artists of other
disciplines.

Whetham's practice also covers giving active listening and field recording workshops internationally, with recent sessions incorporating the reuse of obsolete technology. This includes workshops for children and young people, which began in Medellín, Colombia in 2013, and has led to larger projects in Czechia, Norway and Australia. Also he has worked with refugees at GMEA, Albi, France in 2025 and unaccompanied minors in a refugee camp in Munich, Germany, 2014.

It was a real pleasure to host Griff Maloney as part of our ongoing collaboration with Burren College of Art, and our residency commitment to a recent graduate or student of the college.
'My work interrogates the relationship between the perceived world and the digital veil of the electronic world. I capture motion and light in my physical environment before transmuting it into digital abstractions of thought and remembrance. These ancillary memory objects are transformed beyond the electronic devices on which they are captured and their contradictions are made visible.
I utilize techniques of digital transformation and signal degradation mixed with traditional animation and in camera effects. These remixed and reinvested fragments of footage and sound become facsimiles of fading memories and half remembered dreams. By creating tension between natural and electronic forms, my work examines the liminal spaces of our digital age, altering the light and texture of the human eye into digital doppelgängers of color and motion.
This work uses technology as a magic mirror, transmuting natural landscape and luminescence into electronic ghosts. These encounters draw the viewer into an emotional dialogue with the virtual world, presenting questions about the transference of real objects into digital space, the role of perception in the virtual landscape, and our primal relationship to things both real and unreal. The result is an examination of the digital grid that overlays the entire scope of modern life and how it affects our perception and thought.'

Save the Date!
We are delighted to announce our exhibition in association with Galway International Arts Festival 2026.

Aleana Egan
A maritime child

Opening Saturday 11 July, 4pm
12 July - 26 July, 12-6pm every day during Galway International Arts Festival
Continues to 16 August, 12-6pm Saturdays and Sundays only

A maritime child responds to the atmosphere of pathos and human fallibility felt within the site at Interface. Aleana Egan’s artworks share an instinctive sensibility, referring to processes of adaptation, repair and reuse. The exhibition hints at a central nervous system, influenced by sensory formations carried through the low-lying modernist building, its cantilevered canopies and the various outdoor tanks, pumps and connective infrastructures of the former salmon hatchery.

Egan’s subtle but deliberate sculptural forms speak with the industrial materiality of Interface, and the expansive natural landscape that encloses the site in the picturesque Lough Inagh Valley.
Curated by Michael Hill. With support from Kerlin Gallery and Konrad Fischer Galerie.

Aleana Egan’s solo exhibitions include Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (forthcoming September 2026); Konrad Fischer Galerie, Berlin (2025); Lismore Castle Arts (2024); Void, Derry (2022); Künstlerhaus Bremen (2021); NICC Vitrine, Brussels (2020); Farbvision, Berlin (2019); Illuminations Gallery, NUI Maynooth (2017); The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2015); Mary Mary, Glasgow (2014); The Drawing Room, London (2011); Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin (2009); Kunsthalle Basel (2008). Egan’s work has been represented internationally in group exhibitions including Kettles Yard, Cambridge; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh; SculptureCenter, New York.

Artist Talk - Sunday 12 July at 2pm
Aleana Egan and Michael Hill will give an informal walkthrough of the exhibition.
