B 1984, Cork, Ireland
Slevin is an artist and cultural producer from Cork, Ireland. As a multi-disciplinary artist working predominately in sound, his works can be experienced as architectural interventions, sound sculpture, audiovisual installations, performances and recorded sound-works.
Interested in the full sonic spectrum and the auditory fields which we inhabit, his research is embedded in low frequency/infrasonic sound phenomenon. He is particularly interested in how sound envelops our individual and collective experiences. His work explores our relationship with sound in cultural, political, anthropological, geographical and social contexts.
In 2008 he co-founded the artist collective Cork Contemporary Projects. Its main ethos was to facilitate emerging artists, collaborate with alternative art discipline and to open dialogue and discourse with peer organisations. In 2009 he set up and became the co-director of theSPACE, a one year artist led project space. theSPACE hosted 8 exhibitions, artists talks, workshops, screenings, performances and a series of sound art events called ‘Input/Output’
In July of 2011 Slevin set up TACTIC, a new gallery and project space in Cork city with Pamela Myers. TACTIC was formed to address the lack of cultural space available for curators to develop and maintain a working practice in the Munster region of Ireland and was quickly established as a leading venue for curatorial projects with a focus on sonic, new media and live art, garnering several reviews, most notable from the Paper Visual Art, Avant and Enclave Review for Slevin’s own curated show ‘Uncanny Sounds’.
In 2012 he moved to Berlin, where he undertook a 10 month curatorial residency at the Waterloo Artspace. Over the 10 months he curated and facilitated over 15 experimental art events at Waterloo under the banner of Av format working with Salon Bruit, Urban Arts Berlin, The Suicide Pizza Club, PussyKrew among others.
In 2014 he undertook an artist-in-residence program at Popps Packing in Detroit which lead to his second solo show Unknowing the Interstice.
In 2015 he was studio resident at NK Projects, Berlin's leading performance studio space for experimental music and noise. During this time he programmed a serious of experimental music events at Normal Bar and Urban Spree under the monikers of Pure, Bualadh and B.T.D.K.Y.D
He lives and works in Stockon-on-Tees, England.
