Nollaig Molloy

©Daniel Sadrowski

Nollaig Molloy (b. 1989) is a visual artist from County Roscommon, Ireland. She works with moving image, sculptural installation and sound while sometimes using workshop and event-based outcomes, to explore landscape through material means. Her research connects the labouring of land, 'materials-to-hand', formal and informal archives, handcrafted objects, and community groups through poetic and abstract discoveries.

She graduated from Belfast College of Art in 2020, where she received a Master of Fine Art. Molloy was recently awarded an Agility Award in 2021 from the Arts Council of Ireland and presented a solo exhibition Retreat To Stone, Stone in Retreat (2021) at Catalyst Arts Belfast. Her past projects include Sounding the Shore (2018) a series of live radio broadcasts from a lake boat on a 53km long lake on the River Shannon; creating vocal scores with an improvisational choir in Hand to Mouth (2019) and a film titled Worth Your Salt (2020) juxtaposing rock salt, taken from a working salt mine in Northern Ireland, alongside the value of analogue and digital film. 
 

From October to December 2022, Nollaig Molloy was a resident at Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets in Bochum.

Dorsten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
