Spike Island trip.

The Expanding Realities trip to Spike Island was an opportunity for all the artists to explore travel, mobility, freedom and home; themes that are currently being explored by the GASP artists. They travelled by foot, train and boat to reach the Island, which is abundant in culture and a history of religion and incarceration.  It was also an opportunity to experiment together and share some of the project experiences up to that point. Belén Sanchez brought her mobile music machine, Dave Pearse shared poetry, Imna Pavon, Yvonne Condon, Itziar Martín Montes and John Whelan shared some of their dance collaboration, and Derek Foot and Jeff Johns focused on gathering sound recordings for the day.

Word Play on the Island!

                                            Work created in the Expanding Realities Open Studio in Bristol.

GASP (Cork) Art in Motion (AIM) Bristol Debajo del Sombrero Madrid are three dynamic projects engaging the creativity, and supporting the professional development of artists who have much to contribute to society as artists and citizens. They seek to break barriers in society and in the world of art that may exclude or limit the participation of artists who may need additional supports. Expanding Realities is when they come together to create art. The Cork leg of Expanding Realities runs from the 13th - 17th of June.
