In The Offing
Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland
​July 2019

In The Offing, an exhibition and a series of performances that took place over the course of a single day and night in July, with artists Sophie Behal, Isadora Epstein, Maeve Lynch, Eoghan McIntyre, Rosie O’Reilly and Benjamin Stafford.


The ‘offing’ is the most distant part of the sea in view from land. Looking out at the horizon both time and expectation can become confused. The foreseeable future seems uncertain. Sirius Arts Centre acted as an anchor point for the individual practices of each artist. The building, framed by the maritime and oceanic history of Cobh, will played host to an exploration of time and uncertainty.


Taking an experimental approach to staging, the work expanded beyond the boundaries of the gallery, inviting the audience to experience the works across the private and public spaces of Sirius Arts Centre and the surrounding harbour.


Supported by Cork City Council and Kilkenny County Council.
