EXHIBITIONS 2018
INTERPRETATIONS
‘INTERPRETATIONS’ is a joint endeavour, between the Singers Circle and some visual artists from the region, to produce a combined album of Songs and Art Works.
‘INTERPRETATIONS’ came about after South Roscommon Singers Circle and guests (Patsy Hanly, Cathy Jordan & The Songbirds) recorded twelve traditional and contemporary folk songs and they asked twelve local visual artists, each to listen to one track, study the lyrics and produce a piece of art work that reflected their interpretation of the story therein. Each of the twelve titles were drawn from a hat and allotted to the individual artist and this extraordinary production is the result – a 12 inch vinyl LP record of songs and an album/book of art work prints combined. The project was conceived and directed by Declan Coyne and was brought to fruition with the cooperation, enthusiasm and dedication of the members of South RoscommonSingers Circle, the various visual artists involved and Roscommon Co. Co. Arts Officer, Mary Mullins. Martin O’Hara, as well as mixing and mastering, recorded all tracks live at Murray’s, Knockcroghery, and Roscommon Arts Centre.

NOEL MOLLOY / DO YOU CARE FOR TEA?
The Courthouse Gallery and Studios
Ennistymon, Co Clare
Exhibition: Saturday 5th May - Saturday 16th June 2018
In the Red Couch Space, Roscommon-based artist Noel Molloy show work originally created for the Sligo’s Hawk’s Well Theatre Mad Hatter children's
programme. His sculptural wall relief works are inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic surreal characters in Through the Looking Glass. The book’s tale of confusion, bewilderment and fantastical imagery provide Molloy with a rich palette to draw upon. In this exhibition aimed at children and young people, the artist uses found objects to create bold images of the White Rabbit et al, which are also brought to like in an accompanying film.

Cabinet of Wonders #6
The Linnenhall Arts Center , Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland
Cabinet of Wonders #6 features works by a selection of contemporary visual artists; Declan Byrne, Michelle Colfer, Fiona Harrington, Dympna Heanue, Rebecca Lyons, Lisa Mc Lurg, Noel Molloy, Jane Queally, Fiona Reilly and Ian Wieczorek. Come see.
The Cabinet of Wonders is an ongoing curated visual art project
presented in the foyer of the Linenhall. The project takes its
inspiration from the fashion for Cabinets of Curiosities, which found
their beginnings in the Renaissance and were still popular until the
late 19th century. Inspired by the eclectic approach of the original collector-curators, it presents a range of works “to engage, intrigue, surprise and delight”.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF IRELAND TODAY EXHIBITION MARCH- APRIL, 2018
Opening Reception: 7pm Friday, March 16 www.dupontunderground.org/ www.solasnua.org/
Featured Artists: David Bickley, Myrid Carten, Conall Cary, Brian Crotty, Lisa Freeman, Ruth le Gear, Michael Hanna, Anita Groener, Jonah King, Pawel Kleszczewski & Kasia Zimnoch, Hugh McCabe & Suzanne Walsh, Noel Molloy, Jenny Newman, Leonard Sheil, Fifi Smith, Mieke Vanmechelen, Mary-Ruth Walsh, Adrian Wojtas and Sean Wrenn.
Location: Dupont Underground, 19 Dupont Circle NW, Washington, DC 20036
Solas Nua, in collaboration with Dupont Underground is proud and excited to present Sights and Sounds of Ireland Today or in Ireland’s native Gaelic language Radhairc agus Glórtha na hÉireann Faoi Láthair. It is an exhibition that explores the field of contemporary video art production in Ireland today. It is the first significant survey of Irish visual art to be presented in the Washington DC area.
The vision for this exhibition was to discover what Irish visual artists consider video art to be today and what they wanted to communicate through their work. One of the big questions when curating this exhibition was to determine what video art is and how it differs from film. Traditionally, video art in visual art was defined as differing from film in its disregard for the mechanisms of traditional movie-making (i.e. it has a storyline with actors and dialogue) – while the video artist is concerned with exploring the medium itself, or to use it to challenge the viewer's ideas of form, time and space. Today however, that definition is no longer applicable as visual artists will adopt a range of styles and tools and frequently crossover to traditional filmmaking. Decisions on what works to include here were based on artistry, skill and subject matter. What do these works convey to us about Ireland, its artists and its people? You the viewer are invited to decide.
Opening night will feature curator, Jackie Hoysted in conversation with Andy Johnson of the Corcoran College of Art and artist, Jonah King.
