Outside: Insight
@ Brigits garden, Roscahill
11th July- end of August
On the opening day of ‘Outside Insight’ 2010, us Knee-jerks operated a recording station in Brigid’s Garden. Members of the public were invited to imitate the calls of an assortment of exotic and fictitious animals. The outcome of the recordings can be heard around the gardens for the duration of the exhibition.
This project aims to highlight the idea of the garden as a human subversion of nature. Human hubris sees us attempt to be architects of the natural world so via knee-jerks playful imitation and exhibition scenario this work aims to establish a parody where the public bellows absurdly out of trees and bushes. Humans are the real mystery and anomalies hidden between the lines written by the ‘garden’.
Thanks to everyone who participated, it was a great opening! Listen out for us if you're visiting the garden before September!
