New Nenagh art exhibition invites a new view of the Tipperary landscape
A new exhibition in Nenagh has at its heart an audiovisual work which was filmed across Tipperary
An exhibition connecting music, image and landscape opened at Echo Space, Nenagh Arts Centre, on 10 November, as part of DCCI Irish Design Week.
This exhibition explores the meeting point of music, image and landscape, asking how design can give sound unexpected new forms. At its centre is Anseo, an audiovisual work by composer Alastair White and curator Gemma A. Williams, inspired by the tradition of the graphic score.
Filmed across Tipperary, it combines moving image and spoken word, inviting visitors to consider familiar landscapes as sources of sound and meaning.
The work invites the viewer to look at our sense of place differently, and to imagine the sounds, music and meanings that might be hidden within it, bringing together moving image and spoken word to approach landscape as a symbolic text: something that can be read, interpreted and performed.
Also featured is White’s 11 Maps for a Chalk Ridge, using visual scores to interpret the South Downs. The performance piece is a series of graphic scores that reimagine the landscape of the South Downs through visual notation. Together, the works trace a wider fascination with the relationship between image, language and sound, and with the possibility of composing music beyond the classical language.
The exhibition takes place at Echo Space, the newly launched gallery at Nenagh Arts Centre, Tipperary, from 10–24 November 2026.
Join a private viewing on 13 November at 6.30pm – 8pm. Admission for exhibition is free.
