Listen "Audio Guide: David Mach Burning Down the House"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the official Audio Guide to Burning Down the House By David Mach as part of Galway International Arts Festival 2025.
David Mach is one of the UK’s most successful, prolific and respected artists, best known for his dynamic and large-scale collage, and his imposing and provocative public art, sculpture and installations constructed from mass-produced materials including coat hangers, car tyres, newspapers and magazines.
Mach’s previous sensational GIAF exhibitions – 2012’s Precious Light which featured the enormous crucifixion sculpture Golgotha, made from steel and wire coat hangers, and 2018’s Rock ’n’ Roll which saw Mach place a yacht, car and a caravan with multiple other objects and debris within a monumental quantity of painstakingly positioned newspapers; and 2023’s The Oligarch’s Nightmare which featured an exploding Range Rover – enjoyed record-breaking audiences.
He returns to the Festival with this new site-specific installation Burning Down the House at the Festival Gallery, William Street.
