Tomorrow is Sunday | Miriam O’ Connor at The Library Project
6 to 23 April
Opening Reception Thursday, 6 April, 6pm
Following a family bereavement in 2013, O’ Connor returned home to live and work on the family farm. Tomorrow is Sunday is an on-going photographic project which engages with this unanticipated homecoming. Over the last number of years she has struggled to understand this transition through the medium of photography, using the camera and other practices of reading, writing, collecting and reflecting in a quasi-therapeutic manner to document fragments from daily life and experiences. O’ Connor also draws on farming diaries, notes and exchanges as a means of exploring the past and at the same time opening up new perspectives on present circumstances. These traces of everyday life have acted as the catalyst for the production of a series of logbooks which catalogue various activities characteristic of her new life. Through detailing daily farming tasks and domestic duties, compiling inventories and anecdotes, this approach of logging and indexing reflects an effort to regain some semblance of order and a means by which past and present might begin to align or reconcile in some way.
The show will be accompanied by the launch of a limited-edition 36 page publication.

Japanese Object Series 3, Nag Gallery, Dublin 8
30 March to 25 April 2017
Basement, 59 Francis Street, Dublin 8
Japanese Object Series 3 at the Nag Gallery.
The figure loaned from the John Hutchinson collection is of a Jizu Bosatsu who is an enlightened being through Buddhism. What remains of this figure worn by exterior conditions, as it would have been placed outside, still retains a visual representation of quiet and peaceful contemplation. It is almost if this Jizu Bosatsu has been meditating into nothingness. One of the key disciplines of Buddhism is zazen ( sitting meditation ) where no thought is aroused in the mind ( za ) and seeing into one’s Self–nature ( zen ). The piece probably dates from the C19th ( Edo period ), and is particularly interesting as the aged wood has taken on wabi sabi attributes. Wabi sabi is a concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics centred on imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. This is derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, ( sanboin ) impermanence, ( mujo ) suffering and ( ku ) empt.
Shot Crowd | Joy Gerrard at Millennium Court Arts Centre
8 April to 24 May
Opening Friday 7 April, 7pm
Drawing on over a decade of image-making and research on themes of protest and urban space, Irish artist Joy Gerrard archives and painstakingly remakes media-borne crowd images from around the world. This exhibition marks the latest development in this project, presenting an abstract film work alongside monochrome paintings and drawings of the Arab risings of 2011, anti-Trump demonstrations and ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests from 2016. Her crowds are viewed from above; suggesting the removal of media observation, while the fluidity and drama of their moment is expressed through precise, expressive mark making.
The large paintings allow a shift in scale, disrupting the photographic schema of the smaller drawings and allowing greater freedom from the original mediation of the image. These are set alongside the film ‘shot crowd’, produced as a maquette in 2007 and remade in 2016. Here, Gerrard sets the historical specificity of her protest images against an abstract depiction of space and human movement. The perpetual flow of individual objects, apparently random and chaotic, is constrained and directed within a built environment.
A Free Bus will run between Belfast and Portadown on the evening of the opening. Leaves Belfast from Golden Thread Gallery at 6.45pm. Returns from Portadown at 9pm.

trying to behave | Theresa Nanigian at The LAB
6 April to 28 May
Opening Thursday 6 April, 6pm
trying to behave is an exhibition of photographs, text and a short video that observes the older participants of the bi-monthly tea dances at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
While observing, filming, and surveying numerous patrons of these tea dances, Nanigian uncovered several dichotomies about this disparate group of individuals who share an ardent passion: these included composure and vulnerability; vivaciousness and feebleness; spirit and neediness; beauty and decline.

FALLING OUT OF STANDING | Film Installation, Temple Bar
4 to 23 April
FALLING OUT OF STANDING is the visual art legacy set in film and the next stage to ANU and CoisCéim’s award-winning production THESE ROOMS by artists David Bolger, Owen Boss and Louise Lowe.
In 2016, THESE ROOMS cross pollinated dance, theatre and visual art to thrust audiences into the events of one hundred years and explored the 1916 rebellion through the eyes of civilians at the moment when the uninvited rising invaded their homes in North King Street with devastating consequences in a work that investigated questions of dignity, belonging and dispossession. Set in 1966, the 50th anniversary of the Rising, it also explored the female body as a post trauma political site. Their physical bodies betrayed them, confronting themselves though the point of view of the 1966 commemoration.
A fundamental aim of this project was to create a permanent legacy, a long term marker relevant to the present day that will live well beyond 2016. The result is the film installation FALLING OUT OF STANDING – a response by the three lead artists through a focussed lens of the present day. Following the collaborative production process, each of the artists stood back and worked in isolation with different filmmakers and editors to realise their individual responses to the project itself and the interrogated source material.
As with the live work, FALLING OUT OF STANDING takes the North King Street massacre as a starting point and aims to contextualise the impact of time on conflicted histories. As we move further away through time this event fades from the national consciousness; its complexities at odds with the State’s foundation myth. It faced further erasure through the political neglect and official ineptitude of town planning of the 1960s and 70s, which resulted in the row of ten houses being left to decay over decades, turning to wasteland, and eventually being regenerated as an urban public green space. Historical narrative and physical site become almost invisible.
Location: Ground Floor, Festival House, 12 East Essex St., Temple Bar, Dublin
Installation open 12 to 8pm

Shadows of Ourselves | Tinka Bechert at Priors PLM Medical, Co. Leitrim
31 March to 4 April
Over the last year artist Tinka Bechert has been working with Priors PLM Medical, a precision engineering company based in Carrick on Shannon, as Spark Artist-in-Residence.
Spark is an Artist-in-Residence programme organised by Leitrim County Council Arts Office and Local Enterprise Office aimed at artists who are interested in working in new environments and businesses who are interested in collaborating with artists and promoting creativity within their organisations.
Tinka Bechert’s research during the Spark Residency focused on several engineering tools and techniques employed at Priors. She was particularly fascinated by the highly unusual application of the historic Schlieren imaging technique in which ‘shadows’ facilitate highly precise measurements. The shadowgraph technique dates back to the seventeenth century and has origins in optics and the development of telescopic lenses. The use of shadowgraph processes at Priors makes visible microscopic details, such as thermal differences, that are generally invisible to the human eye.
