SUMMARY:c
DESCRIPTION:‘Re:New Wallace #7’ is the seventh in a series of collaborative cultural projects involving a Northern Irish artist and the Wallace Collection in London. This is an extraordinary collection encompassing paintings and decorative art objects collected from around the world by Sir Richard Wallace and his predecessors. The project provided a residency opportunity to visual artist Judith Waring to carry out research in response to the collection and create an innovative body of new work. \nJudith Waring (b. Belfast) is a visual artist working with sculpture. She is interested in pushing boundaries with material\, process\, and scale. Her practice is research-led and project-focused. Visual markers of time\, place and of boundaries are central concerns of her practice. The work is often site-or space-specific and informed by real and imagined narratives. \n‘Quenched’ is a new body of new work is a distillation of ideas which began with Les Wallaces\, the Rococo drinking fountains gifted to the people of Paris by Richard Wallace in 1872. In many ways\, Lisburn\, with its 2 extant fountains\, is pivotal to the creative narrative between Paris and London. Les Wallaces are made of cast-iron\, painted green and provide drinking water. \n\nPlease note\, venue is closed Sunday and Monday.

SUMMARY:A Commission by YES
DESCRIPTION:Catherine O’Connor  is a self-taught tapestry artist currently based in Dublin. She established her studio practice in 2019 with the purpose of capturing the essence of a person in woven tapestries. Catherine is drawn to portraiture in an effort to capture the variations and nuances in a person’s features and expression. For YES 2024\, Catherine will create a bespoke tapestry which will  celebrate the female form. The tapestry will be on display at The YES Hub\, St Columb’s Hall\, Derry~Londonderry. \nThis exhibition forms part of The Sixteen Nations\, which celebrates female creativity\, and the YES Hub at St. Columb’s Hall will be open from 10am – 6pm daily. \nYES takes place in Derry~Londonderry and north Donegal from 13-16 June. It is the culmination of ULYSSES European Odyssey\, an unprecedented international project supported with funding through Creative Europe that since 2022 has seen partners in 18 cities across Europe take Joyce’s novel as the starting point to explore contemporary issues\, from migration to the environment and disability to global data. \nWomen artists from cities involved in ULYSSES European Odyssey will travel to Ireland for YES to present work in venues and public spaces across Derry~Donegal. The programme will include theatre\, dance\, visual arts\, installations\, film\, writing\, photography\, textiles\, circus\, music\, rap and song. \nAt a time when more is being written about both Joyce’s wife Nora Barnacle and Molly Bloom\, YES and its theme The Future: A Female Vision invite audiences to think about the role of women in the writer’s life and work\, and more widely\, in society\, in art\, in business\, in politics\, as thinkers\, as creatives\, as leaders.
