Rua Red in Dublin is currently presenting An Ciúnas / The Silence by the Irish, London- based artist Marianne Keating. This multichannel film installation was originally presented at The Showroom, London, in 2023 and is now touring Ireland in a project initiated and organised by SIRIUS.

An Ciúnas / The Silence traces multiple trajectories of migration from Ireland to both Jamaica and Britain from the period preceding the Great Famine of 1845–52 to the present day. It identifies catalytic moments in the history of the British Empire through the lenses of Ireland and Jamaica to illuminate how events from the past inform current politics and society. The work establishes a radical account of Ireland’s and Jamaica’s fights for self-determination, the social conditions of Ireland in the nineteenth century and today, the evolution of the Jamaican political system, and the power structures at play in both countries before and after independence.

In an interview with Miguel Amado and Sarah Long, from the SIRIUS team, Marianne comments: “History is complex, and we must allow the methods through which we examine it to be complex. I see my work as an accumulation of my research. My films exist as a series of interconnected narratives exploring and examining this history that will continue
expanding, as I am constantly learning and seeing new links and ties.”

Thaís Muniz and Venus Patel were in conversation with Clodagh Boyce, curator in residence at PS2, Belfast. Thaís and Venus spoke about the shared connections in their work, including their use of histories, symbols, critique and performance in their interrogation of composite identities. In particular, they spoke about their relationship to history and myth and their methods for reimagining the present. This event was organised by PS2 and SIRIUS with support from the Co-operation with Northern Ireland Funding Scheme (2024), Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

Exhibition – Local Colour for SIRIUS: Selected Works from the Archives and Collection

FEATURED WORK

Danny McCarthy
Flotsam (in Memory of Bas Jan Ader, Artist Lost at Sea)

This work is an assemblage of marine debris: a model boat the artist found washed up on the shoreline is attached to a large piece of wood, atop which is attached a broken record. This semicircle combines with the split in the wood to suggest a horizon line. The work is dedicated to the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader (1942–1975), who tragically disappeared while sailing the Atlantic Ocean from the US coast to England. Danny McCarthy dedicates this work to the late artist with the intention of spreading the word about his practice. By employing marine debris as a communicative tool, he echoes the folk custom
of sharing a ‘message in a bottle’. The work captures the mystery of both Ader’s fate and the sea.

This exhibition features a selection of works and materials from the SIRIUS archives and collection that were uncovered during research and cataloguing undertakings initiated in 2021. The artists presented in this exhibition engage with themes of migration, place and environment. Highlights include Doug Dubois, Patrick Ireland, Danny McCarthy, Maura Sheehan and Softday, who created works inspired by Cobh’s landscape and social context.

This exhibition is curated by Miguel Amado, director, with assistance by Sarah Long, 2023 critic in residence, and Andrea Spörri, 2022 curatorial trainee. It is realised with the support of the Regional Museum Exhibitions Scheme (2024), Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

FEATURED WORK

Softday
As I Roved Out One Morning, 2021

Softday is a collaborative duo of scientists Mikael Fernström and artist Sean Taylor. They
create sonifications, objects and performances that explore human relations with the
natural world. As I Roved Out One Morning is a sea shanty written by Hannah Fahey (composition) and Softday (lyrics), performed by the Softday Deep Water Singers via long-distance communication. It takes as its subject a controversial plan for an incinerator in Ringaskiddy, Cork Harbour, put forward by the waste management company Indaver on various occasions since 2001. It brings together field recordings, conversations, transcripts from An Bord Pleanála oral hearings and reasoned arguments submitted to the High Court. It merges the tradition of folk songs that accompany rhythmical labour with the symbolism of political messages contesting the powers that be.

This exhibition features a selection of works and materials from the SIRIUS archives and collection that were uncovered during research and cataloguing undertakings initiated in 2021. The artists presented in this exhibition engage with themes of migration, place and environment. Highlights include Doug Dubois, Patrick Ireland, Danny McCarthy, Maura Sheehan and Softday, who created works inspired by Cobh’s landscape and social context.

determination, the social conditions of Ireland in the nineteenth century and today, the evolution of the Jamaican political system, and the power structures at play in both countries before and after independence.

Miguel Amado and Sarah Long, from the SIRIUS team, comment: “The opening scenes outline the extractivist approach with which the British Empire ruled Ireland. Máire
Comerford, an Irish Republican activist and journalist, contextualises the country as a resource that served the imperial structure, its population regarded more or less as a supply of soldiers and/or workers. This power dynamic is compounded by imagery of forceful evictions being enacted before, during and after the Great Famine.”

EXHIBITION – Deirdre O’Mahony: Feeder

Deirdre O’Mahony’s practice spans film, sculpture and installation, and involves collaborating with communities of interest and place. The artist is concerned with the politics of the rural, understood as both a territory and a way of living, and tensions related to ancestral knowledge
erasure, modernisation, extractivism and the geographical and psychological separation of the city versus the countryside.

Feeder is a reading room showcasing the artist’s extensive, ongoing investigation of food production under capitalism, especially themes of security and sustainability. It features a selection of agricultural devices and related objects, books, printed matter and school desks. It provides philosophical and environmental insights into the current situation of, and future perspectives on, agriculture in Ireland and beyond.

In an article for The Quickening newspaper, a publication by Deirdre O’Mahony produced by The Douglas Hyde, curator Georgina Jackson comments: “For over three decades, Deirdre O’Mahony has forged a path for art to bring together diverse communities and shape alternate forms of knowledge. She astutely explores the politics and possibilities of place through sculpture, painting, installation and collaborative projects, often with extended time frames and multiple collaborators. … For O’Mahony, art is a critical space to explore the human and the more than human.”

Feeder was produced for the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, in 2022, and subsequently expanded and extended. This presentation is organised by SIRIUS and curated by Miguel Amado, Director.

Congratulations to Amanda Rice, whose film The Flesh of Language (2023) has been selected for the BFI London Film Festival and will screen today at the Institute for Contemporary Arts. SIRIUS commissioned and premiered this film last year. The Flesh of Language is informed by three research strands: Konstantin Raudive’s investigation of anomalous voice-like sounds found on tape recordings that were interpreted as spirit messages; an experiment by Andrew Kitchener aimed at determining whether the extinct Irish elk used its antlers in battle; and inputs on the practicalities of media conservation. Earlier this year, the film was also acquired by the Arts Council. We are delighted with the recognition Amanda’s excellent work has achieved.

SCREENING – Deirdre O’Mahony: The Quickening

Deirdre O’Mahony is an artist whose practice spans film, sculpture and installation, and involves collaborating with communities of interest and place. Her work is concerned with the politics of the rural, understood as both a territory and a way of living, and reflects on the tensions between knowledge erasure and modernisation, extractivism, and the urban/rural divide.

The Quickening explores themes of farming, utopia and degrowth in the context of the climate crisis, informed by discussions between farmers, scientists and politicians. To make the film, O’Mahony organised events with a broad spectrum of concerned parties, captured the conversations that took place and, with the writer Joanna Walsh, rearranged them as a libretto. The Quickening combines expansive views of the Irish landscape with close-ups of soil ecologies, recording and amplifying the minute details of insects and microcosms. The film meditates on both industrialised agricultural activity and the centrality of land to human, animal and insect life.

The Quickening was commissioned by The Douglas Hyde, Dublin, and produced with supported from The Arts Council and The Douglas Hyde.

2 Channel Land

SIRIUS and aemi’s 2022 commissioned artist: Frank Sweeney SIRIUS has been partnering with aemi to commission a film by the artist Frank Sweeney. 2 Channel Land, Frank’s film, premiered at the latest edition of Cork International Film Festival, as part of the ‘Figure Ground Perception’ programme organised by aemi. We are sharing 2 Channel Land's trailer, which provides a glimpse into its aesthetics and content. We are organising a solo show with Frank scheduled for 2023, featuring the film alongside related items. 2 Channel Land looks at the history of analogue radio and television signals spilling across the borders of Ireland and Britain. Blurring the line between narrative and documentary, the work explores the relationship between these transmissions and collective identities. Our collaboration with Cork International Film Festival and partnership with aemi demonstrates our support for artists making films and our commitment to new work production. This project is part-funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media through the Co-operation with Northern Ireland Funding Scheme 2022. aemi_ie CCA Derry~Londonderry Temple Bar Gallery + Studios Arts Council Ireland Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media
