Martin Healy, A Moment Twice Lived, digital film still (2016), Collection Crawford Art Gallery, Cork © the Artist Martin Healy: A Moment Twice Lived Opens 2 May Continuing a season of Artists’ film from Crawford Art Gallery’s collection, A Moment Twice Lived (2016) by Martin Healy explores our perception of the passage of time through the subjective experience of memory, aging and dreaming. The circuitous narrative focuses on a fleeting moment  - in the library of Crawford Art Gallery - when a lone character studies the surface of a painting and begins to sense she has seen the image before. The work references JW Dunne’s book An Experiment with Time (1927) and the film oscillates between two inter-connected scenes revealing how our lived experiences often distort in our memory into increasingly blurred distinctions between the past, present and the future. Martin Healy works with photography, film and sculpture to explore the cultural and symbolic paradigms that underpin human mythologies and belief systems. To read more, visit here.

Linda Curtin and David Keating's SIT STAND SMOKE is a brief adventure in virtual reality (VR) which explores some of the motivations and circumstances that led to the creation of Seán Keating’s iconic painting, Men of the South (1921-22). Funny, provocative, and poignant, SIT STAND SMOKE takes the viewer into the unexpected world of Dr Éimear O’Connor, art historian, biographer, and – in this narrative – a newly initiated VR director casting actors for her first VR project.

National Drawing Day is an initiative led by the National Gallery of Ireland Ursula Burke, Work in Progress (detail), 2023 © the artist IN CONVERSATION with Ursula Burke and Dr Edwin Coomasaru Friday 24 May, 6pm Ursula Burke’s practice incorporates porcelain sculpture, soft sculpture, embroidery sculpture and drawing. Burke’s installation, These Fragile Monuments, consists of a tapestry frieze investigating Irish historical, art historical and contemporary representations of guerrilla warfare inspired by the work of Norwegian tapestry artist Hannah Ryggen (1894-1970). Inviting Ukrainian weaver Zhanna Petrenko to weave the tapestry, Burke creates a thread between two countries and periods of time.  She  has also created a sculpture of a battle-bruised dog modelled on The Jennings Dog – a Greek bronze from the 2nd century CE – which is covered in hand embroidered flames emblematic of all the houses and commercial premises that were burnt out by the Black and Tans. Ursula Burke will be in conversation with Dr Edwin Coomasaru, a historian of modern and contemporary British, Irish and Sri Lankan art; his research considers the politics of ‘gender, sexuality, and race. Coomasaru is an editor of the journal Visual Culture in Britain. URSULA BURKE: These Fragile Monuments (25 May – 21 July) is a BUILDING AS WITNESS artist project, supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries Programme 2012 - 2023.
