'Moving Through Things' traces sequences of movement across three interwoven sites: Slievenamon mountain, STAC Gallery, and STAC Chapel.

The installation at STAC Chapel, running from November 18th - 21st (11-4pm) extends the gallery experience into activation, with the artist leading audiences through silent performances guided by a series of non-verbal instructions. Through gesture, breath, and stillness, the audience and artist together activate the space, creating a collective moment of attention and reciprocity.

As always, further details can be found at the 🔗 in our bio 🤗⁠

'Moving Through Things' will run from 14th November – 19th December 2025.

It is with a heavy heart that we learn today of the passing of Monica Cullen del Bigio.

A much loved opera singer and Clonmel native, this photo, taken from the front page of The Nationalist newspaper on April 27, 1996, shows Monica opening the arts centre. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of STAC next year, Monica's passing is all the more poignant.

Our thoughts are with Monica's family at this time. May her soul rest in peace.

Join us next Friday for the opening reception of 'Moving Through Things', a new exhibition and performance by multidisciplinary artist, Elaine Grainger.

📍STAC Gallery, Nelson Street, Clonmel

📅 14th November

🕓️ 6-8pm

'Moving Through Things' traces sequences of movement across three interwoven sites: Slievenamon mountain, STAC Gallery, and STAC Chapel.

Drawing on the mountain’s historic cursus — a pathway once used for procession and ritual — the work explores how motion accumulates meaning, absorbs time, and dissolves boundaries between self, place, and ritual. It considers movement not as transit, but as a sustained form of attention.

Weaving walking, repetition, and transformation into a continuous motion that connects landscape, gallery, and body, this show is an invitation to slow down, to move with awareness, and to offer presence as an act of exchange between self and place.⁠
⁠
'Moving Through Things' will run from 14th November – 19th December 2025.⁠
