Anthony Kelly
Anthony Kelly is an artist based in Dún Laoghaire, Dublin, whose practice involves sonic and visual approaches to making his work. Although diverse in construction, his work chiefly concentrates on the shifting and fragmentary nature of sensory experience. To explore this he uses the discarded or overlooked aspects of the world around us which he enlarges and amplifies to create his work. His creative process frequently involves collaboration.
Anthony has received funding from the Arts Council of Ireland, Culture Ireland, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and other funding bodies. His work has been exhibited widely in Ireland and abroad. He is a director of the Farpoint Recordings sound art & new music label, and maintains an ongoing collaboration with fellow artist David Stalling.

...end reverberations of discarded tape fragments; ambient room sound; electromagnetic signals; grip noise; faded vocals on a 78rpm test acetate; wind through nearby trees and across the studio rooftop; collected distortions and radio waves: audio glimpses from a nearly forgotten past, reformed in composition for SLEEPERTOWN.
