Triskel Visual Arts November

 

Hi Cork Cultural Companions Welcome to the Triskel Visual Arts Newsletter, coming to you a day earlier than usual because tomorrow is the first of the month so our November newsletter will go to everyone. From next week, we’ll revert to the usual Friday for your visual arts news.   Áine Andrews’ lecture series continues next Tuesday 5 November with The Portrait of Sarah Purser by Mary Swanzy. After that, the series takes a break for one week as Cork International Film Festival takes over Triskel. Áine will return on Tuesday 19 November looking at Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh.   Etaoin Melville is with us for another couple of weeks as part of her residency in Triskel Sample Project Space. She has shared some of her work in progress on her Instagram @etaoins_art so check that out now.   Now that the clocks have gone back, you will be able to experience Elinor O’Donovan’s Winter Sun a bit earlier. This moving-image work is part of Island City – Cork’s Urban Sculpture Trail. See you soon Gillian and the team at Triskel

The Portrait of Sarah Purser by Mary Swanzy Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories Tues 5 Nov, 11am - 1pm Artist and art teacher Áine Andrews returns with another series of lectures on Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories. In each lecture, Áine will focus on a particular painting to recount its history, as well as that of the artist and their story. Portrait of Sarah Purser by Mary Swanzy – Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin Book Tickets Etaoin Melville Residency Mon 14 Oct - Sun 10 Nov Etaoin Melville is a Cork-based visual artist, specialising in video and installation. She has received two Arts Council Agility Awards since 2021, during which time, she has been mentored by artist Aideen Barry and is collaborating with Linda Cullen (aerial artist, writer and performer) on a project called Backbone, focusing on issues around motherhood and the value we hold individually and as a society for this role, investigated through socially engaged co-created works. She is currently exploring a new body of work ‘Ancestral Sap’ which combines film, stop frame animation, dry point print-making and painting and explores the complexities of women’s place in the world. By exploring our matrilineal lines, inherited trauma, and primal wisdom, this work seeks to provoke introspection and reconnection with ancestral knowledge. This residency will enable Etaoin to develop these projects and bring them to a more resolved conclusion through further collaborations, in order to apply for future solo exhibition opportunities. Read More Elinor O’Donovan: Winter Sun Island City - Cork’s Urban Sculpture Trail Tues 15 Oct - Wed 30 April, 4pm - 10pm Winter Sun is a moving-image work by Cork artist Elinor O’Donovan. The work is a preserved piece of a warm Cork summer, saved for the months when it is most needed. Taking as its inspiration the iconic view from the top of Patrick’s Hill at Bells Field, the video work is a looping film depicting Corkonians sharing a moment of togetherness, connected by their mutual appreciation for a setting summer sun. Elinor O’Donovan is a visual artist based in Cork City. In her work, which spans filmmaking, digital collage, installation, drawing and sculpture, she makes up playful answers to questions about knowledge, memory, and truth. Recent work includes ‘Got The Snip!’, a ping-pong table included in the exhibition ‘Wiff Waff is Playing at My Gaff’ at the Crawford Art Gallery; ‘Radio Solstice’, a temporary community radio station running throughout the Cork Midsummer Festival; and ‘The Immeasurable Grief of the Prawn’, a film and exhibition which premiered at GeneratorProjects, Dundee. In 2024, she was shortlisted for the Golden Fleece Award, Ireland’s largest prize for artists.
