Episode Synopsis

Mick O'Shea is the director of the Cork Artists Collective and The Guesthouse and he has been instrumental in establishing a vibrant and growing sound art scene in Cork City.

He studied instrument physics in C.I.T. and worked as an instrument technician in UCC.

All of his works spring from his essential experience in drawing. His medium includes sculpture, drawing, sound and cooking.

In 2003 he set up the collaborative practice with fellow artists Stephen Brandes and Irene Murphy, called The Domestic Godless which, through performative cooking events, explores culinary activity as art practice and tests assumptions about the cultural traditions of food in challenging and often irreverent and absurdist ways.

He also works with various sound artists and composers both national and international.

In 2006 he formed The Quiet Club with sound artist Danny McCarthy to promote and showcase improvised music and soundworks.
