K7 dans la 4L | Liliane Puthod & Ingrid Lyons Viewing Session at The Railway House

Event Details

Muine Bheag Arts is excited to welcome visual artist Liliane Puthod and writer Ingrid Lyons. Following an initial pit stop at Muine Bheag Arts as part of tour de force itinerary, Liliane and Ingrid will broadcast a special K7 dans la 4L episode to coincide with COMMUNE. The listening/viewing session will take place at the Railway House, so feel free to sit back and relax along with complimentary tea, coffee and sandwiches while Ingrid and Liliane play cassette tapes live from the car and share anecdotes about their touring adventures. Alongside this public event, a temporary intervention will be visible at the Railway House’s billboard for the duration of the summer programme.

K7 dans la 4L is also a forum for discourse and debate around contemporary art, blurring the boundaries between audience and participant. During a live stream of the journey at the Railway House Bar, we open up a dialogue between tour de force and COMMUNE where K7 dans la 4L acts as a mobile arts club for broadcasting conversations around the contextualisation of contemporary art in rural Ireland. At our respective locations in Belfast vs. Bagenalstown and in the chat room of the gaming app, Twitch.

Tour de force is a national tour of Ireland by visual artist Liliane Puthod and writer Ingrid Lyons. At the wheel of Puthod’s late father’s Renault 4, tour de force is a celebration of culture and creativity in the format of a mapped adventure engaging with artists, musicians, mechanics, farmers, writers, archaeologists, craftspeople, academics and aficionados over a series of pit stops all around Ireland…a summer 2025 ‘buddy movie’. En route, the car becomes a mobile broadcasting unit with K7 dans la 4L which brings you interviews, artist talks and readings as well as cassette tapes played from a Renault Blaupunkt Audio 3000.

Produced by Liliane Puthod and Ingrid Lyons. Core personnel are Rosa Abbott, Public Relations, Gavin Fahy (1815fc) & Eddie Kenrick (City Rocker), Public Engagement. Mary Conlon, Curator and Director of The Dock is invited to respond with a series of texts to follow this nationwide cultural tour of Ireland. tour de force is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland Touring of Work Scheme.

Muine Bheag Arts is pleased to present COMMUNE from 15th – 25th August 2025. Taking place in and around the Muine Bheag Community Centre, the programme unfolds as a collection of live events, workshops and public interventions.

COMMUNE is a site for assembling and disseminating ideas, emerging from a central studio and gathering space shared by artists, community groups, collaborators and graduates-in-residence. COMMUNE can be understood as a series of small collective actions and gestures which reach towards systems of support and connection.

COMMUNE is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Carlow Arts Office, Creative Ireland Carlow and Bagenalstown Creative Places
