The air is heavy with a long-gone lonesome blues but there’s a magic too, and an unusual amount of floatation tanks. Cornaleena is an evolving modular project with an expanding cast of collaborators that will slowly piece together the inhabitants and mood of this strange town before it disappears for good. For this special MusicTown iteration of the project we have teamed up with filmmakers Frank Sweeney and Cóilín O’Connell to make a short impressionistic film featuring contributions from Jennifer Walshe, Katie Kim, Jonny Dillon, Sinéad Lynch of Landless and folk-singer and legend Seán Garvey. The project is funded by Musictown, the Arts Council of Ireland and Dublin City Council. Archival material courtesy of the National Folklore Collection. 2021 Cornaleena Trailer from Frank Sweeney on Vimeo.The film is a collaboration between Cóilín O'Connell and Frank Sweeney with words and music are from Kevin Barry, David Kitt, Jennifer Walshe, Katie Kim, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Sinead Lynch, Jonny Dillon, Sean Garvey and Mary Margaret O'Hara.

It is the home of a people who value material wealth only as a basis for right living, where fields and villages are joyous with the sounds of industry and the laughter of happy maidens. In short, it is the best small country in the world in which to do business, raise a family and grow old. The project emerged from a period of research in partnership with the National Folklore Archive at UCD, exploring representations of the otherworld in the oral tradition. The film searches out these otherworld's in the modern Irish state, surveying free zones, data centres, utopian housing projects and large infrastructural developments. Taking the form of a travelogue we visit these sites of mythological importance and examine their role in the formation of a national imaginary.

Taking the DDWPS online archive of over 3,500 photographs as its starting point, the work draws on a range of source material including interviews, institutional and personal archives, community made films, documents and original footage. The script is composed from a collage of source material including academic papers and books, archival videos, government documents, property brochures, speculative documents produced by professional services firms, interviews and community development reports. A two channel video installation, Made Ground considers the movement from manual to knowledge based forms of labour in the Docklands, the changing architecture of the area, and the impact of these changes on the surrounding communities.- Purchased for the Arts Council Collection: Collection of the Arts Council of Ireland.

The air is heavy with a long-gone lonesome blues but there’s a magic too, and an unusual amount of floatation tanks. Cornaleena is an evolving modular project with an expanding cast of collaborators that will slowly piece together the inhabitants and mood of this strange town before it disappears for good.&nbsp; Cornaleena Trailer from Frank Sweeney on Vimeo. The film is a collaboration between Cóilín O'Connell and Frank Sweeney with words and music are from Kevin Barry, David Kitt, Jennifer Walshe, Katie Kim, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Sinead Lynch, Jonny Dillon, Sean Garvey and Mary Margaret O'Hara.
