Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane
Parnell Square, Dublin, Ireland D01 F2X9

Gallery artist Niamh McCann presents FURTIVE TEARS at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane opening Wednesday 3 October 2018.

FURTIVE TEARS brings together the mythologies of Sir Edward Carson (Irish unionist politician and barrister) with Hans Poelzig (German architect, painter and set-designer) to explore the interplay of fact and fiction and the dynamic relationship between the audience, object and mode of display.

Featuring the bronze cast nose of Michael Collins (from the original statue by Seamus Murphy), a taxidermied deer with inflated latex mask & neon, a reimagining of a panda bear and a stunning bronze balaclava titled False Prophet, this show combines the surreal, the bizarre and the perverse, inviting remnants of the past into the present and the things of the present into the future.

Furtive Tears features is an installation in four galleries and is a composite of mixed materials that appropriate utopian ideas of fluid relationships between Art/Architecture/Design in early modernism. Expect assemblages and interventions as well as a newly commissioned video-work with soundscape Furtive Tears, Salomé’s Lament.

This exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Damien Flood, ‘Pullover’, 2018, Oil on linen, 50 x 60 cm

Museum of Mythical Water Beasts

Ormston House

Opening September 6th, runs until September 21st

The Museum of Mythological Water Beasts is a multi-year project inspired by the River Shannon and the people of Limerick. We began with an open research process, working with local catchment custodians – including artists, boat-builders, historians, and scientists – through a series of events, workshops and field trips about, along and on the river. In 2018, we have returned indoors to develop a series of artistic commissions and exhibition-environments at Ormston House. See more here.

Damien Flood’s research is grounded in early writings on philosophy, alchemy and the natural sciences. His paintings are maps to different worlds or states of mind. These new geographies can offer a meditative space or balance precariously close to chaos. You can visit his website here.

Niamh McCann – Furtive Tears, 4th October 2018 – 6th January 2019

Furtive Tears is a project by Niamh McCann that explores the dynamic relationship between the audience, object and mode of display. In her new installation at the Hugh Lane, McCann brings together the protagonists Edward Carson (politician) and Hans Poelzig (architect and set designer) and the vestiges of their mythologies to portray the internal language of gesture, meaning, inference and allegiance.

It is an exploration of the importance of a viewer’s perspective when confronted with the act of looking and the reading of objects within the context of a constructed landscape. Weaving fact, fiction and history, the installation reveals how we look and how we are looked upon. The work addresses how the mind navigates the perpetual process of coding and decoding our own behaviours when negotiating the positions we take up in society.

Niamh McCann is an Irish artist living and working in Dublin. Recent solo exhibitions include La Perruque (Protest Song) at MAC Belfast and Just Left of Copernicus in Visual Carlow. Group exhibitions include: Future Perfect, Rubicon-Projects Brussels; Changing States: Contemporary Art and Francis Bacon’s Studio, BOZAR, Belgium; Time Out of Mind: Works from the IMMA Collection, Irish Museum of Modern Art; In Other Words, Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Cork; this little bag of dreams, Catherine Clark Gallery, San Francisco; and Without-Boundaries, Wäinö Attonen, Museum of Art, Finland Her work is represented in the collections of IMMA, The OPW, Limerick City Gallery, Swansea City Council, The London Institute, and Hiscox Collection, London.

The ambition of the project is to be international - by realizing projects through cooperation with external parties, it hopes to establish a broad network. The goal of each collaborative work is to present and preserve the vitality of abstract art. The purpose of the projects is to display abstract art in all it’s vigor.
