- 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 Roscommon Singers 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.

PRISM OF FREEDOM
premieres at Chale Wote Street Art Festival, 20–26 August in James Town, Accra (GH) In September, Prism of Freedom will tour museums and cultural spaces around the world subscribed to The One Minutes Series.- featuring my video 'WALL'
The One Minutes Series of September is called Prism of Freedom and is curated by Ghanaian artists Va-Bene E. Fiatsi (crazinisT artisT). Prism of Freedom consists of 16 One Minutes by various international visual artists challenging the socio-political status of freedom. How can we re-interpret the world beyond the intimacy of our eyes? The series is a mixtape of 16 one-minute films on the future of freedom. The series premieres at Chale Wote Street Art Festival, 20–26 August in James Town, Accra (GH). In September, Prism of Freedom will tour museums and cultural spaces around the world subscribed to The One Minutes Series.
“Prism of Freedom serves as a platform to explore film and videos as language, dialect and gesture in articulating the importance of art as significant medium for socio-political dialogue and activating cultural change. The thematic concept of the series plays on the notion of postcolonial and post-religious perception of independency, and paradox of liberation with experimental spirit exploring human sense of liberation, freedom, limitations, spirituality, identity and intimacy. However, the series presents also videos which equally explore the politics of time and imagery as sensuous character of questioning our realities. How can we re-interpret the world beyond the intimacy of our eyes, body or other senses or how could we ride through the narrow technical vision of 2 perceiving a new world? Could the moving image complement our nonstoppable hallucination of the future of freedom or could it substitute rituals for our sense of realities?” Va-Bene E. Fiatsi (crazinisT artisT)

Daniel Codina Kresiah Mukwazhi Henriette Hamer Noel Molloy Dan Pavsic Jean-Michel Rolland Jeremy Wiles-Young crazinisT artisT Female Handala Alvin Ashiatey SANOKA Alfie Dwyer Razan Matthew Lancit Hala Namer

Sights and Sounds of Ireland Today
Exhibition March 16-31, 2018
Opening Reception: 7pm Friday, March 16
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 considered 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. a plot) – while the video artist is concerned with exploring the medium itself, or to use it to challenge the viewer's ideas of space, time and form. 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.
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
