Irish Museum of Modern Art opens exhibitions in Carlow and Tallaght
Two exhibitions from the Irish Museum of Modern Art's Collection open to
the public this October - one in Carlow town, the other in Tallaght, Co
Dublin - as part of IMMA's National Programme. Bogadh comprises selected
works from the Irish Museum of Modern Art's Collection and works by
students from St Joseph's Primary School, Hacketstown, Co Carlow, and
coincides with the second SPLANC Childrens' Festival. Bogadh (movement)
opens to the public at Presentation Convent, Carlow on Saturday 14
October 2006. In Tallaght Community Arts Centre the film work Hereafter
by Paddy Jolley, Rebecca Trost and Inger Lise Hansen opens to the public
on Monday 16 October 2006.
For Bogadh students from St Joseph's Primary School, worked over six
days with artist Terry O'Farrell to create their own unique art work
inspired by pieces on loan from the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The
young people's work is shown alongside Irish and international artists.
The children's workshops were supported by the Department of Education
and Science. Works included in the exhibition range from Helena Gorey's
Red 1, a work on dvd which pays homage to the endless diversity hidden
in the overall order of the universe, to Rebecca Horn's Take me to the
other side of the ocean, which measures the passage of time and life.
Hereafter was created when, in 2002, Paddy Jolley was commissioned to
make a film in Ballymun, Dublin, - an area targeted for radical social
and economic change due to Dublin City Council's plan to regenerate the
area by demolishing and rebuilding residential housing and services. As
part of this plan, residents were requested to move from flats in tower
blocks, which in many cases were their lifetime dwellings, to new
contemporary houses. Jolley in collaboration with German artist, Rebecca
Trost and Norwegian artist/animator, Lise Inger Hansen, focused on the
newly vacated flats - and the physical items left behind. Hereafter will
be accompanied by a series of workshops for primary schools supported by
the Department of Education and Science.
IMMA's National Programme is designed to create access opportunities to
the visual arts in a variety of situations and locations in Ireland.
Using the Collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art and exhibitions
generated by the Museum, the National Programme facilitates the creation
of exhibitions and other projects for display in a range of locations
around the country. The National Programme establishes the Museum as
inclusive, accessible and national, de-centralising the Collection, and
making it available to communities in their own localities, on their own
terms, in venues with which the audience is comfortable and familiar.
Bogadh continues at Presentation Convent Carlow until 20 October 2006.
Hereafter continues at Tallaght Community Arts Centre until 14 December
2006.
