Creative Ireland: The Visual Arts


[Contemporary Visual Art in Ireland 2000 – 2011]

Published by Visual Artists Ireland
Curated / Edited by Noel Kelly and Sean Kissane
Commentaries from Mebh Ruane, Colin Graham, Valerie Connor; Fiona Kearney, Brian Hand and Noel Kelly
September 2011

http://visualartists.ie/

Creative Ireland: The Visual Arts presents an attractive record of the early 21st century contemporary visual arts in Ireland, with 100 artists who have been selected for their specific contribution to the contemporary arts in the first years of the 21st Century.  Aimed at a general audience, as well as the art connoisseur and enthusiast, each artist is profiled with an iconic example of their practice shown in full colour.  The texts are engaging as they explain Ireland within the context of the early 21st century, and the impact that this has had socially, economically and culturally.

Words + Untitled

Private view Friday 12th November 2010

Exhibition November 12th - 21st 2010

Four Boxes Gallery
Krabbesholm Højskole
Krabbesholm Allé 15
7800 Skive
Denmark

http://www.krabbesholm.dk/bow-wow-house/12_words.html

http://www.amnudenda.com/

Words was first realised in 2009 and shown in Am Nuden Da’ s former London space in conjunction with the Los Angeles based journal Material. It was conceived as an exhibition focused on artists’ use of the written word. To coincide with the re-installation of Words at Four Boxes Gallery, Am Nuden Da has curated the exhibition Untitled.

The 13 artists participating in Untitled have responded to a proposition that the works shown here should be chosen on the basis of their status as ‘ Untitled’ . Where Words foregrounds language at the expense of materiality, Untitled performs antithetically by engaging with the physical and visual.

For the Words exhibition 85 artists have been invited to email a ‘ text piece’ to Am Nuden Da who, using a standardised format, have copied and pasted each submission onto a single sheet of A4. All pieces are set in Arial, the default typeface, at point 10 size. This dogmatic method represents an attempt to foreground language ahead of personal style, design, layout and graphic appearance.

The installation of the untitled works offers a contrasting visual and material situation, one where categorising and identifying the artwork takes a paradoxical turn by relying on a linguistic association, that of being unnamed. Throughout the last century the ‘ Untitled’ proposition has become not simply a default mechanism for not assigning a name to a work of art but a recognised methodology, one which this show addresses.

Marcel Duchamp christened the modern title as an “ invisible color,” offering it a name that was simultaneously precise, paradoxical, ironic and impossible.[1]

you must say words, as long as there are any, until they find me, until they say me, strange pain, strange sin, you must go on, perhaps it’ s done already, perhaps they have said me already, perhaps they have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, it will be the silence, where I am, I don’ t know, I’ ll never know, in the silence you don’ t know, you must go on, I can’ t go on, I’ ll go on.[2]

STUDIO VISIT #2

THE FUTILITY OF MAKING SALAD

Publication Launch and Panel Discussion

Joseph Kosuth, in “Art and Its Public” defined an artist community as “...a community of artists who collectively, through individual effort, define what is meaningful at a particular historical moment concretely within the practice of their activity.” And comedian Stephen Fry, while viciously ripping into a head of lettuce, asks why making a salad (with no other motive other than love!) (and a decent desire!) is so frustratingly futile. We have invited a number of artists to address the question: is there such a thing as an artist community? Do they feel a part of one? What constitutes it? What would it mean to be able to collectively define meaning today, in a diverse and ever-changing art world?

MATERIAL, an artist-run journal publishing and supporting the artist’s voice, in collaboration with Insert Press, has collected the responses to this question and created a publication of these texts that begin to describe our ‘particular moment.’ With cover design and screenprinting by Maggie White Lomeli and Insert Press, and interior layout design & typesetting by Daniel Lucas, The Futility of Making Salad features texts by the following artists:

Harold Abramowitz
Stan Apps
Marcus Civin
Ginny Cook
Dorit Cypis
Robin Dicker
