SUMMARY:1845: Memento Mori
DESCRIPTION:1845: Memento Mori is a famine memorial and glass installation of 1\,845 blown glass potatoes dedicated to the 19th-century Great Irish Famine\, created by Seattle-based Irish artist Paula Stokes.\n1845 is significant as it references the year that the potato blight came to Ireland\, marking the beginning of a period of mass starvation\, disease\, and emigration. Between 1845 and 1852\, over 1.5 million people died\, and 1 million emigrated to Australia\, Canada and America. The form of the installation differs in response to specific locations\, changing shape and volume depending on light\, accessibility and exposure of each site.\nAt the Ulster American Folk Park it will be installed in the Single Room Cabin\, which dates from the late 1700s to early 1800s and is an example of the type of dwelling occupied by many poor tenant farmers. It will be the only venue for the installation in Northern Ireland.\nThe fragility of the glass potatoes is representative both of the vulnerability and of resilience of those who died and those who survived the famine. Paula Stokes was born in Ireland butmoved to Seattle in 1993 to pursue a career in glass. Her glass work has been shown extensively both nationally and internationally. As a modern-day member of the Irish diaspora\, Stokes’ glass installations reflect on her own history as an immigrant to examine historical events that have shaped the present.\nShe believes that ‘1845: Memento Mori will resonate with a wide variety of audiences as it reminds us of our own fragile humanity and serves as a connection between shared human experiences in the past and present’.\nThis project has been generously supported by the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Trust and is displayed in partnership with Craft NI for August Craft Month.

SUMMARY:Luckily\, we do not have to be perfect
DESCRIPTION:Originally a stand-out submission for the 2020 Linen Biennale (which was unable to happen) this exhibition features mixed media linen-based sculptural pieces by Dutch artist Birgit Schoenaker \nBirgit says: “The artworks are a mix of materials and objects\, composing a new image\, to tell a story\, my story. With the form and shape\, having something which can be recognized\, it makes it easy to have your own thoughts. The title of the work is sometimes the introduction to the story\, to give a little bit of humor. \nMy story is a search to the why\, being fragile\, searching for patterns in which our brain finds something to hold on. In which the delusion of the day seduces us. Where we forget to enjoy the small things we already have. Without shouting for attention\, in its being simple and respectful. Nothing taken for granted\, trying to see the things from another perspective.” \nOpening event 3 July 2pm in person and online via the website link below. \nR-Space is open Tuesday to Saturday \n11am to 5pm \nFree Admission

SUMMARY:Liminal...[in Review]
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition\, curated by visual artist Meadhbh McIlgorm\, presents a selection of artworks and event documentation from two temporary\, outdoor ‘alleyway exhibitions’ which took place in Belfast within the past year. \nLiminal – “relating to a transitional stage” or “occupying a position at both sides of a boundary”. \nWithin the past year artist Meadhbh McIlgorm has programmed two temporary\, ‘alleyway exhibitions’ in Belfast. The city’s alleys are ‘liminal’\, transitional sites – their ownership and function is often unclear but they hold much potential for development. \nThe exhibition concept was piloted with ‘Liminal [Space] Belfast’ in October 2020\, supported via the Arts Council Northern Ireland’s ‘Artist’s Emergency Grant’. The project then grew in partnership with research team 9ft in Common and the Imagine Festival of Ideas and Politics to present ‘Limin-Alley’ as part of the festival in March 2021. \nThis group exhibition in Ards Arts Centre\, will bring a selection of artworks and event documentation from both exhibitions back into a traditional gallery setting. It will provide a space to reflect on the project’s development and review emerging themes. \nParticipants \n9ft in Common (Aisling Rusk\, Amberlea Neely);\nAaron Dickson\nAnna Donovan\nCathy Scullion\nCharys Wilson\nDónall Billings\nJoe Laverty\nJonathan Brennan\nLaura Nelson\nMeadhbh McIlgorm\nNeal Campbell\nPatrick Colhun\nPauline Clancy\nRaquel Amat Parra\nSusan Hughes \nwww.liminalspacebelfast.com \n
