SUMMARY:Climate-Themed Art Exhibition by Gordon Bromley
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNUI Galway’s Moore Institute and Galway University Foundation will host a climate-themed exhibition\, Art on the Edge\, in the Hardiman Research Building during the month of November. Featuring original artwork by NUI Galway physical geographer\, Dr Gordon Bromley\, the exhibition includes a mix of drawings and paintings captured from his international field research. \nThe exhibition will be launched at 5pm on Thursday\, 1 November followed by a seminar at 6pm by Dr Bromley on The business end of climate research\, showcasing ongoing climate research at NUI Galway. The event and exhibition is free and open to the public. \nArt on the Edge displays science-inspired artwork from almost two decades of field research into earth’s climate system. Dr Gordon Bromley\, an NUI Galway Foundation Research Leader\, describes the exhibition as “bringing the public face-to-face with climate science – and climate scientists – through a lens of art.” It will feature Dr Bromley’s artwork from the high deserts of Peru to the edge of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet\, coupled with human artefacts (scientific and everyday items left on the ice such as drink cans\, old radiosondes\, and a geologic pick axe). It will also feature photographs and video footage from Dr Bromley’s field work in Antarctica\, Greenland\, Peru\, Colombia\, and Scotland\, demonstrating how everyday people use our landscapes as laboratories and fostering the notion of climate science as a vital element of our community. \nSpeaking about the seminar\, Dr Bromley from the School of Geography and Archaeology at NUI Galway\, said: “The seminar will consider the consequences of climate in flux\, including today’s rapid global warming. Earth’s climate is inherently changeable. Human-induced climate change represents one of the greatest uncertainties we face in the 21st Century and beyond. This topic is a highly visible source of public disquiet and political controversy\, but the actual science feeding our climatologic knowledge remains mysterious to the vast majority. And it is this disconnect\, between science and the public that funds it\, that is the biggest challenge to our society’s effective preparation for future ‘climate shock’. \n“The seminar will serve as an opportunity for us to explore exactly what climate is\, how we think it behaves based on scientific research\, and plausible scenarios for our future climate and sea level\, highlighting the new and ongoing climate research being conducted at NUI Galway.” \nProfessor Daniel Carey\, Director of the Moore Institute\, said: “This exhibition of stunning artwork will inspire much-needed discussion and reflection on climate change. The conjunction of art and science reminds us that only by convening a wider conversation that includes the humanities and Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Maths (STEM) can we make progress in public and academic understanding.” \nAs part of his international field research in these various locations\, Dr Bromley primarily uses the geologic record of glaciation to establish two things: the timing and magnitude of past abrupt climate change events\, and the impact of abrupt climate change on Earth’s ecosystems. He also continues to work towards understanding the cause of the ice ages and the sensitivity of our climate to carbon dioxide (for example\, if CO2 concentrations double\, what exactly will be the magnitude of atmospheric warming?). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Launch of 'Yeats Collection Exhibition'
DESCRIPTION:New NUI Galway exhibition features art from controversial Yeats sale \n  \nNUI Galway is delighted to announce the launch of its Yeats Collection Exhibition. Following controversial sales in the UK and Ireland of material from ‘Ireland’s greatest literary and artistic family’ – as described by London auctioneers Sotheby’s – the university is proud to confirm that its recent acqusitions ensure many valuable artefacts are to remain in Ireland. Now newly on display at NUI Galway’s James Hardiman Library\, the art and culture on show enhances the university’s existing special collections in the visual arts\, and in English and Irish literature and theatre\, showcasing its vibrant holdings of Irish cultural life. \n  \nMost of all the exhibition highlights the art and culture of the west. It draws attention to the work of women in renewing Ireland’s culture\, and the early years of Ireland’s theatrical renaissance. In an exquisite drawing by Jack B. Yeats\, the Roscommon poet and Irish-language playwright Douglas Hyde is shown acting with characteristic gusto and moustachios – a companion sketch depicts the Irish National Theatre’s greatest comic actor William G. Fay shouting at actors mid-rehearsal. Fourteen original drawings of human and animal island life by Elizabeth Rivers reveal the sensitivity of an artist who spent more time on the Aran islands than all the Yeatses and Synges combined. Shown alongside original woodcuts and fine art books\, these drawings\, unusually\, were made as illustrations for the very last Cuala Press book Stranger in Aran. Cuala Industries\, founded by sisters Elizabeth and Lily Yeats as a feminist artistic collective\, had by then become the foremost design workshop in Ireland. Its contributions to embroidery and printing are honoured by a unique handpainted banner used for publicity in art fairs. Further rarely-seen items highlight the contributions to the west of Lady Augusta Gregory and her son Robert Gregory\, whose untimely death one hundred years ago in the First World War is remembered as part of forthcoming Armistice Day commemorations. \n  \nThe Yeats family collection is the most important to come out of Ireland this century. It featureds an entirely unique trove of material relating to the poet and Nobel Prize-winner W.B. Yeats\, his brother Jack B. Yeats\, their father the artist John Butler Yeats\, and their sisters Susan (Lily) and Elizabeth (Lolly) Yeats. More than a family collection\, it describes the making of modern Ireland by telling the story of the collaborations of the Irish Revival. Its open sale was therefore controversial. A group of academics\, writers\, artists\, and concerned citizens\, including the poets Paul Muldoon\, Vona Groarke\, Michael Longley\, Nick Laird\, and Marie Heaney\, widow of Seamus Heaney\, led by NUI Galway’s Dr Adrian Paterson and Trinity College’s Dr Tom Walker wrote an open letter to then Minister of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphries (also published in the Irish Times)\, calling on her to save the collection for the nation. The sale and the controversy attracted worldwide interest\, with questions asked in the Oireachtas\, and feature articles published in the New York Times\, the Irish Times\, and other outlets. While it is clear that some items were saved\, the sale still went ahead with all items available to the highest bidder. \n  \nThe rescue of such important items for the nation and future generations in the west by NUI Galway is thus cause for celebration. To mark the acquisitions and to highlight existing artwork the new Yeats Collection Exhibition runs until Christmas. The exhibition is launched at 5pm on Friday 9th November at the James Hardiman Library’s Special Collections Reading Room\, and all are cordially invited to attend. \nContact the exhibition curators Adrian Paterson adrian.paterson@nuigalway.ie and Barry Houlihan barry.houlihan@nuigalway.ie \nNOTES ON SELECTED EXHIBITION ITEMS \n  \nJack B. Yeats (1871-1957). Drawings of Douglas Hyde and W.G. Fay (c. 1903) \nBorn in Roscommon\, the rich literary and cultural achievements of Douglas Hyde resulted in him becoming Ireland’s first President in 1938. As well as founding the Gaelic League and producing poetic translations of genius\, Hyde was a scholar and playwright in the Irish language\, and a fine actor. He is depicted in character in one of his own plays\, wide-eyed and mid-speech in a vibrant sketch by Ireland’s greatest artist Jack B. Yeats. William G. Fay was the finest comic actor in the early Abbey Theatre\, and is shown by the same artist in rehearsal mode with the company exhorting them to one more effort. ‘Now are ye ready’ says Jack Yeats’s caption: ‘Then let us go again’. These fine works of art record the renaissance of Irish theatre\, complement the university’s holdings from Jack B. Yeats’s 1900 Galway sketchbook. \n  \nElizabeth Corbett Yeats (1868-1940). Banner for Cuala Industries (c.1920) \nIn such an astonishing artistic family the Yeats sisters are often overlooked. However they were fine artists in their own right. Lily Yeats (like her mother christened Susan Mary) trained in needlework with May Morris (daughter of William Morris) and set up a pioneering all-female embroidery workshop in Dublin; with her team of assistants on the other side of the curtain Elizabeth Corbett Yeats (known to the family as Lolly) established a printing press\, the Cuala Press\, with her brother W.B. Yeats as literary editor\, both workshops also featuring frequent input from their brother the artist Jack B. Yeats. Cuala Industries shows the overwhelming cultural importance of the Yeats family\, and is proudly represented by a banner naming the sisters and both integral parts of the organization. The banner is the only known survival of its kind\, handpainted on textiles\, and was probably intended for marketing the collective at artistic fairs in Ireland\, England\, and America. Its presence at NUI Galway highlights existing strengths in literature and publishing and underscores cultural achievements of women working for the new nation. \n  \nRobert Gregory (1881-1918). Drawings of figures and landscapes (c.1912-4) \nRobert Gregory’s death in a fighter plane robbed the nation of one of its finest artistic talents\, described by W.B. Yeats as ‘a great painter born […] to Galway rock and thorn’. Never-before seen original drawings highlight on this centenary his visionary eye and his close connection to the west’s landscape of myth and stone. \n  \nElizabeth Rivers (1903-1964).14 original ink and pencil drawings for Stranger in Aran (1946).  Under Elizabeth Corbett Yeats the pioneering Cuala Press become the foremost art printers in Ireland. A full collection of its unique hand-painted broadsides at the university features art by Jack B. Yeats\, Harry Kernoff\, Maurice McGonigal and lyrics from W.B. Yeats\, F.R. Higgins and Dorothy Wellesley. Yet its valuable printed books\, each produced entirely by hand\, are its finest achievement\, and NUI Galway’s collection features poets from George Russell (A.E.) to Louis MacNeice\, and writers from Lady Augusta Gregory to Lord Dunsany. Very few however feature illustrations: one that does\, providing a unique record of island life\, is Stranger in Aran\, by Elizabeth Rivers\, the very last book to be published by the Cuala Press in 1946. The newly-purchased original drawings from the artist\, born in London but increasingly drawn to the west of Ireland\, represent depictions of Galway hookers\, fishermen\, birds\, scenery\, and other characteristic details from island life. With jotted notes to the printer they also make a significant contribution to our understanding of Cuala’s pioneering printing process and the book history of Ireland.  –ENDS–

SUMMARY:Italian (NUI Galway) and Tulca Festival of Visual Art present Transformative Memories: Curatorial Practices in the Third Millennium
DESCRIPTION:A Roundtable event with Valentina Zucchi (Mus.e Florence)\, Linda Shevlin (Curator\, Tulca Festival of Visual Art\, Galway)\, Mary McCarthy (Crawford Gallery\, Cork)\, Paolo Bartoloni (Italian\, NUIG) \nFriday November 9\, 6-8pm\, O’Donoghue Theatre\, National University of Ireland Galway \nThe current world is inextricably linked to a past that not only forms identity\, tradition and individual or collective tastes\, but also shapes the urban landscape as it evolves through transformative interactions with time and history. Memory plays a crucial role in shaping and re-shaping identity and urban development\, evermore present in our lives\, as both menacing and redeeming. In the twin realms of culture and heritage; memory represents a field of energies that can be activated to reflect the dominant narrative: borders are redrawn\, past alliances erased\, place transformed. Memory\, with subtle reframing\, can collapse or powerfully reprise a narrative. \nDisrupting the mechanisms of memory\, offering counter points\, examining the risks and limits of nostalgia should be key concerns for our civic conversations. \nProfessor Bartoloni\, Head of Italian\, explains the idea behind the event: “Innovative curatorial practices are reinventing the ways we look at and inhabit the visual\, understood both as a form of creative practice and an experience of the world. Our intention is to provide a forum in which curators\, artists and academics can share ideas as well as tell their stories\, and what it means to promote art in the third millennium.” \nThis round-table event features cultural producers from Ireland and Italy\, two nations whose cultural heritage is at once comforting and normative. This forum will discuss how innovative curatorial and artistic practices can help us see our present as shaped by the past\, calling the potent role of nostalgia as benign celebration into question. \nhttps://transformativememories.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2138710305 \nIn the spirit of openness regarding cultural processes that so many Galway spokespersons have called for of late\, audiences are invited to shape the discussion by submitting questions to the panel at: transformativememories@gmail.com
