RISING is an experimental film by artist William Bock created in collaboration with members of the community in Kildysart and Labasheeda commissioned by Ormston House, Limerick, Ireland. Prior to making the film, William Bock spent a year residency visiting local families and individuals to learn about their connections to the river, their history and their thoughts about the future. Through the film, local community members worked together with William to offer a new vision of the landscape and their place within it.

Breaking Borders - Exhibition curated by Valeria Ceregini in GOMA Gallery of Modern Art - Waterford
https://valeriaceregini.com/2021/12/27/breaking-borders/ - January 2022 Breaking Borders aims to explore the intersection of multiple narratives and discourses in the arts, engaging a mix of conversations with the exhibiting artists accompanied by talks and performance art contributions. The group exhibition intends to be an organic project to mix and match artists from all disciplines to contribute to the development of the arts in Ireland and artists’ practice across any discipline. This exhibition project offers a creative and digital approach to the arts to expand the physical exhibition space as a response to these current times where we witnessed an increasing use of technology to implement our reality. Breaking Borders has the ambition to become a global and inclusive space with no physical barriers with a proactive approach to delivering new forms of cultural experiences and tackling the challenges facing the changing landscape of the arts as a result of social pressures. This future-facing project will make up of an interactive exhibition project and a series of online and offline events focused on the perception of a globalised and dislocated life.

Fiona Woods |One Kind And Another | Book Launch & Panel Discussion | Ennistymon Courthouse Gallery, Co. Clare | February 6th 2pm, 2016
Fiona Woods’ new publication One Kind and Another is the outcome of her episodic collaborative practice collection of minds. This practice asserts the artist’s embededdness within and reliance upon social, geographical, and conceptual networks.
This new publication documents a number of collection of minds episodes which took place over a period of 18 months (2014-2015). The episodes outline contrasting worlds from the High Plains of Colorado to the tracking of goat herds in the Burren. They produce a myriad of dialogues with others, including artists with a strong rural focus, gun club members and goat farmers. The publication captures a multitude of engagements with the material world, both sensuous and intellectual.
Woods will be joined by members of the Ground Up Artists Collective http://guac.ie/portfolio/trudi-van-der-elsen/
who participated in some of these episodes, for a discussion about collaboration as process of discovery, as innovation, as risk.

Sift: Contemporary Painting Project
From 17th October – 31st October 2015 John Busher, Trudi Van Der Elsen, Noelle Gallagher, Will O’Kane, Kate Murphy, Joan Sugrue Twitter Project Feed: https://twitter.com/SiftPainting A Wexford Fringe Festival Event! Sift is a co-curated project initiated by John Busher and Trudi van der Elsen. Without addressing a specific theme, the works examine emerging developments in contemporary painting practice. Sift is a reference to the physical act of filtering through source material, unearthing ideas, and the unexpected which can result from this. A common thread is formed, where image making, photographic referencing, place and memory rise to the surface. Largely grounded in the premise of figurative painting, the individual art practices explore a territory where this concern borders on abstraction. https://www.facebook.com/events/1469082230089247/ |

Dwelling In Time, Creative Solidarity , 2015
A presentation of research from a recent residency on Inis Oírr The Red Couch Space, Courthouse Gallery, Enistymon, Co. Clare The word “dwelling” can suggest place, habitation, or home. As a verb it is more active, in calling up ideas about living, a sense of conscious decision, or staying with whatever is in focus. It also suggests time, reflection and waiting with slow patience. The latter option is one that does not come so easily at this time of ever increasing acceleration, speed and instant gratification, with its intolerance of slow returns. GUAC made the conscious decision to uphold a slow, durational processes. http://guac.ie/current-projects/ |
