About the work

ARTIST: RICHARD CARR

Collaborators: Basciville and Sasha Terfous. Work originally commissioned by Dani Gill for The Lighthouse Project Ireland

P45 is a public sound art and listening project which focuses on collaboration, communication, and community. In the United Kingdom, and formerly the Republic of Ireland, a P45 is the reference code of a document which is usually issued when an employee is leaving work. It is commonly used by the public as a metonym for 'termination of employment' or for when one finds themselves 'in-between jobs'. With this in mind, P45 usually manifests to enable Richard and communities of place/interest to work together on the development of a new project. 

For Look North, Richard has re-composed and earlier work which was originally commissioned by Dani Gill for The Lighthouse Project Ireland. This collaborative and site-adaptive work was developed by Basciville, Richard Carr, and Sasha Terfous. It was made during a short working period at Hook Lighthouse, Ireland (The oldest, intact, operational lighthouse in the world) where the artists responded to the coastline of Hook head in Co. Wexford. A site first developed by Brittonic Priest and Pilgrim, St. Dubhán, later developed by William Marshall (1st Earl of Pembroke), and an important navigational point illuminating many international stories of historic sailors and fishermen between Ireland, UK, and mainland Europe.

The resulting work aims to give a personal, poetic voice to the landscape, while exploring these trans-national trading/settlement sites such as Hook Head, Ireland, Fisherinsel, Berlin, or Sailortown Belfast. *
