Interview with Hugh Murray, 1996
Interview with Hugh Murray, 1996
Installation with 17 minute audio piece, portable radio

An audio piece based on an interview with architect Hugh Murray, focusing on the hi-tech visitors' centre to Limerick's 700 year-old Norman castle.

The interview was edited with music ('Surfing on Sine Waves' by Polygon Window, 1993) in the style of a radio documentary, and replayed through a portable radio inside the Visitor's Centre as part of the 1996 EVA International exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition would come across the radio on the counter of a 'trace your Irish roots' genealogy display, as if placed by someone working there; listening revealed that the sounds were addressing the Visitor's Centre itself, creating a playful and intimate encounter with the building's architecture.
