If a door is to be viewed as a conceptual object it can be read as a point of duality, a transitory object that is belonging to both inside and outside, hostility and hospitality, being and non-being, claustrophobia and agoraphobia, public and private and all the space in between. Artists are invited to consider this with regards to their own practice, and to examine and contextualise this dichotomy within their own practice. One rule applies, artists must use a door (actual/image/section) as their source material.

We met in Paris in 2008 and have been documenting our relationship since. The intention behind Q+S is to capture the small details that underline the excitement of being with one another; whether it be sexually, romantically or domestically. This has lead to the project finding similarities amongst the work of other couple photographers and with that the style has matured and defined itself to be something that is a thrill for us to produce

Circa Online review by Michaële Cutaya

Claremorris Open Exhibition, September 2010

"At first sight Seamus McCormack's video Galatea looks like a remake of a James Coleman work, with four actors self-consciously delivering lines in front of a stage curtain. However, in Mc Cormack's work the modernist detachment, which had expressionless actors in the midst of drama, is turned around. The prescriptive stage directions for the actors have become the very content of their - expressive - exchanges. Engaging and humorous, Galatea also reflects on a TV reality-show culture in which self-fulfilling fame is its own content."

It all goes to show what good influence can do, 2009

Mister Whatchacallum
what-cha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feelin' just right.
How's about a corner with a table for two
where the music's mellow in some gray rendez-vous?
There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude.
You've got to do some dancing to get in the mood.
Sister Watchacallum
that's a timely idea.
Something swinga dilla would be good to my ear.
Ev'rybody must agree that dancin' has charms
when you have that certain one you love in our arms.
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude

a buildcrupper that will put me in the mood.

In the mood
- that's it
I've got it

in the mood
- your ear will spot it

in the mood
- oh
what a hot hit.
Be alive and get the jive
you've got to learn how.
Hep
hep
hep. - hep like a hepper.
Pep
pep
pep. - Hot as a pepper.
Step
step
step. - Step like a steper.
We're muggin' and huggin'
we're in the mood now.

Mister Watchacallum
all you needed was fun.
You can see the wonders that this ev'nin' has done.
Your feet were so heavy till they hardly could move.
Now they're light as feathers and you're right in the groove.
You were only hungry for some musical food.
You're positively absolutely in the mood.
Sister Watchacallum I'm indebted to you.
It all goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy and so fully alive

seems that jam and jumpin' is a powerful jive.
Swingaroo has given me a new attitude

my heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood.
