In this ‘For One Week Only’ Pop-Up Museum, the only criteria is that your artwork must fit into the palm of your hand! Showcasing hundreds of tiny works of art, the museum will take place in an old disused building in Skibbereen town for the duration of the festival, from Saturday 28th July to the 4th August. Inspiration has been drawn from artists Slinkachu and Issac Cordal who create tiny dioramas in cities all over the world, micro-miniaturist Hagop Sandaljian whose ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’ fits on to the eye of a needle to the stories of the Borrowers, Gulliver’s Travels, Alice in Wonderland, model railways and dollhouses. Everything is considered and anything is possible!

The Museum of Miniature is the creative initiative of artists Tess Leak and Marie Brett.

The Quiet Club are Mick O’Shea and Danny McCarthy. Formed in 2006, they have become recognised as one of Ireland’s leading sound art improvisation groups. They frequently play together with guests, which in the past have included Rhodri Davies, Stephen Vitiello, Mark Wastell, Viv Corringham, John Godfrey, Harry Moore, Iarla Ó Lionáird, David Toop, and many others.

Their first CD Tesla was released on Farpoint Recordings (www.farpointrecording.com) in 2009 and a new release is planned for 2011. Most recently a track of their’s appeared on ‘WIRETAPPER 23’ the compilation that accompanies ‘WIRE’ magazine. A major exhibition ‘Strange Attractor’ featuring their work took place in the Crawford Gallery Cork in April 2011.

“The brilliance of the Quiet Club, the Cork-based ‘entity’ of Danny McCarthy and Mick O’Shea, is best apprehended live. Their CD, Tesla, is fascinating and enjoyable, but all the more so after watching their performance at the Goethe Institute in Dublin”
