Aemi & Docs Ireland: Material Legacies Nov 9th - Nov 12th 2020 /  by Amanda Rice

9 November 2020 / 18:00 / Online Event
Screening online November 9th - 12th 2020

‘Death in Geological Time’ is screening at Docs Ireland as part of ‘Material Legacies’ curated by AEMI.

The programme explores ideas around family, lineage, inheritance, legacy, death and afterlife. The screening opens with two films by Irish artist Grace Weir, Dust Defying Gravity (2004) and A Reflection on Light (2015), both of which convey the fluid momentum of a relentlessly inquisitive subjective position in constant shift between past and present.  From there we move into Renèe Helèna Browne’s Daddy’s Boy (2020), a recent commission for Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival which offers a highly personal reflection on the body, gender and family legacy refracted and entangled with considerations of the legacy of the T-Rex. Coleen Fitzgibbon’s Trip to Carolee (1973) follows with a kind of Super8 diary film documenting a road trip to feed the artist and experimental filmmaker Carolee Schneemann’s cat Kitsch. Kelly Gallagher’s film Pearl Pistols (2014) is a shiny stop-motion resurrection incorporating archival recordings of the American civil rights revolutionary Queen Mother Moore. Amanda Rice’s Death in Geological Time (2018) is a document of transformation, exploring the messy materials of life and death crystallised into new forms and the programme concludes with Alice Rekab’s Migration Sings (2020) which utilises a single image and recitation to examine a very personal experience of race, place, and belonging.

On Ancient Earth, The Artist Expedition Society x Lumen London /  by Amanda Rice

Expedition_Soc.jpg

Showing ‘Notes on the (Microscopical) Character of Krakatoa’ at ‘On Ancient Earth’ with The Artist Expedition Society x Lumen London, at The Earth Sanctuary in Central Australia. Running from Thursday the 24th of September.

Curated by Anna Dakin and Lumen London.

Featuring works by Kitoka Diva, DRAN, Nichola Rae, CAI, Sarah Edmondson, Amanda Rice, Lunar Breath, Hannah Scott, Anais Tondeur, Anna Ridler, Pale Blue Dot Collective (Louise Beer and John Hooper) and Anthony Carr.

On Ancient Earth is an exhibition about the relationships we have with the night sky. Projection and sounds based works by 15 artists from 8 countries have been exhibited outdoors at night at The Earth Sanctuary in Central Australia exclusively for the night sky. 

Here, the landscape has been shaped by the forces of fire and water, rather than concrete and steel, and the night sky in Central Australia is uniquely dark.What lies beyond the outer edges of Earths atmosphere?

This question, when lying here in a swag at night, is stumbled upon naturally. 

This exhibition reflects on our relationships with the night sky, which for so many during these Covid times, has been restricted due to lock down and light pollution.

Home from Home, On-Line Initiative at the Glucksman, UCC, Cork, May 2020 /  by Amanda Rice

I have a short sound work up online as part of the Home from Home initiative launched by the Glucksman Gallery, Cork.

Irish artists respond to the COVID 19 restrictions.

Sara Baume, Tinka Bechert, Martin Boyle, Brian Duggan, James L. Hayes, Kerry Guinan, Eileen Hutton, Julie Merriman, Doireann Ní Ghrioghair, Treasa O’Brien, Julia Pallone, Amanda Rice, Ciara Roche, Kathy Tynan, Mieke Vanmechelen

Home from Home is intended as a way to provide insight into the extraordinary situation of being confined to home during the COVID 19 pandemic. The selected artists were due to present work in the Glucksman this April as part of the exhibition HOME which is now postponed until later this year. 

Every Tuesday and Friday, we will share the response of a single artist and provide some additional information on their wider practice. The artists explore the shared challenges of being at home, the frustrations, boredom, anxiety, but also the capacity to reflect, create and connect.
