Two Places began as apparently quite literal and gradually became more and more metaphorical and multidimensional. It uses sound and visuals in two places and the space between them. There are seven projects by the same participants in each place. The projects happen simultaneously at each site. Two Places uses the possibilities for each site of playing back on the other.
This particular creative approach redefines a given space. Sound and moving images combine with objects; visitors interact with the work and make it happen. Two Places is an event, not a static form. Its presence occupies the space and time of two places and between two places.
These two specific sites, Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast, and the University of Limerick, are themselves structured by human beings and define this project. They contrast with each other in the types of space contained by the presence of architecture. Ormeau Baths Gallery is a single building with galleries inside it; University of Limerick occupies a large site with many buildings defining and being defined by, extensive outdoors areas.
