The Tea Houses are thrilled to be working with artist Kate Fahey on her upcoming solo exhibition beyond, beneath, Beside, opening Thursday 7 August for the Kilkenny Arts Festival!
Over the past few months, Kate has been developing new work that responds to the context of the Tea Houses and their proximity to the River Nore. In the lead-up to the exhibition, she’ll be in residence at the Tea Houses for a dedicated production period.
Kate Fahey is an artist based between Kilkenny and London, working with sound, sculpture, moving image, print and installation. She has shown her work at spaces including the ICA London, VISUAL Carlow, the Bluecoat Liverpool, the CCArt Andratx, Arti et Amicitiae Amsterdam and Pallas Projects Dublin. She received an MA in Fine Art Print at the Royal College of Art, London and completed a practice-based PhD at the University of the Arts London in 2020. She is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University.
