BOOK NOW GREEN SCREEN: PETRA KELLY - ACT NOW! + Q&A TRAILER: PETRA KELLY - ACT NOW! Petra Kelly - Act Now! by Doris Metz: Petra Kelly was one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. In 1980, she co-founded the German Green Party, the world’s first green party to rise to prominence. She fought relentlessly for radical social change, disarmament and a society at one with nature. She campaigned to protect the environment and ban uranium mining, demonstrating solidarity with the peace movements in both the East and West. Today, her spiritual legacy is continued by many young climate activists. With previously unseen international film footage, the film paints a picture of a sensitive, unwavering woman who let no one stand in her way. (2pm, Sun 10th Nov, Triskel)  Event: Filmmaker Doris Metz will discuss Petra's legacy and her close relationship with Ireland with Gisela Holfter, Director of the Centre for Irish-German Studies at University of Limerick in a Q&A hosted by Ingrid de Doncker, Co-founder & Head of Research and Innovation at Future Planet.

BOOK NOW PROGRAMMER'S PICK: WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS (LJÓSBROT) TRAILER: WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS (LJÓSBROT) Today's pick is from our Director of Programming, Aurélie Godet: When The Light Breaks (Ljósbrot) by Rúnar Rúnarsson (8pm, Fri 15th Nov, Arc Cinema) “The emotional truth reached by these young actors is stupefying. They’re very intense emotions, some of which having to be hidden from other people. It reminds me of Heath Ledger’s Brokeback Mountain performance - which should have won him an Oscar… I look forward to hearing from the producer Heather Millard, who will be with us, about how such a miracle was made possible." The film will be introduced by its producer, Heather Millard and will be preceded by the new short film by Rúnar Rúnarsson, entitled O. This film has been selected by our Young Programmers for the Lookout Award. BOOK NOW

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. About Island City Island City – Cork’s Urban Sculpture Trail is a unique cultural trail of five public artworks. Located on the central island in Cork City, it animates the city and illuminates Cork’s unique heritage in an arresting, intriguing and playful way. Read More Coming soon!
