Lucie McLaughlin | Clickety-Clack - Part 1

URGENCIES (2021) is a biennial exhibition by CCA Derry~Londonderry. The exhibition is selected from an open call, seeking to take the temperature of what emerging artists working today with a connection to our region consider to be urgent. Lucie McLaughlin, Clickety-Clack - Part 1, 2021 7 minutes 31 seconds Clickety-Clack by Lucie McLaughlin is a triptych of experimental sound work, a mix of field recording and constructed narrative sequences that include the sounds of a printer dancing, music leaked through walls, the quiet rabble of voices outside a pub and the purr of a washing machine. The artist aims to build connections between the disparate places where words inhabit artwork and art inhabits words. Lucie navigates between moving/still image, performance, writing and sound and uses 'autobiographical' or abstracted anecdotal moments in order to question the essence of performative text and to write from 'hard places' such as mental ill health. Lucie McLaughlin was born in Belfast and is currently based in Glasgow. URGENCIES (2021) features artists and Martin Boyle, Bryony Dunne, Brian Farrell, Edy Fung, Kathryn Graham, Michael Hanna, Patrick Hickey, Siobhán Kelly, Lucie McLaughlin, Christopher Steenson, Frank Wasser and was selected by artist Locky Morris and CCA Director Catherine Hemelryk.
