‘Taimse Im’ Chodladh’ or ‘I am Sleeping’ was the winning entry in FÍSÍN 2013, a short film competition. It was directed by Denis Buckley and produced by Ciarán Walsh of www.curator.ie. Colm Hogan was Director of Photography, John ‘Bob’ Brennan was on Sound and Marcus Lamb played ‘Tomás,’ the only character in the film. It was recorded in the Beehive Theatre in Dingle and a disused factory in Killarney, production lasting just over a week and ending in a one day shoot.

 

 

The title is taken from an aisling of the same name. An aisling is a traditional song in which Ireland, in the form of a beautiful woman, appears in a dream or a vision. The aisling is usually loaded with symbolism and/or political comment on the state of the nation. Buckley adapted the idea of the aisling to comment on the experience of emigration, or, economic exile in a contemporary context. The traditional song is replaced by a short film and a radio-play (encountered by chance) replaces the dream as the vehicle for the vision and the political comment that is inherent in it.

Buckley wrote the script which was reduced from 17 minutes to around 7 minutes running time, and re-structured into to a filmscript consisting of a single shot – one continuous tracking shot. It was pitched to a panel consisting of Brenda Ní Shuileabháin, Nuala O’Connor, Marina Ní Dhubháin and Bob Ó Cáthail.

The pitch succeeded and Buckley and Walsh immediately went into production. The script was translated into Gaelainn or West Kerry Irish by Bríd Criomhthain and Bosco Ó Conchúir and recorded as a soundtrack in the Beehive Theatre, Dingle. Bríd Criomhthain, Naoise Mac Gearailt, Jeaicí Mac Gearailt and Nuala Nic Gearailt performed the parts. A set was constructed in the old ‘Pretty Polly’ factory in Killarney, a terrific resource made available by Noel O’Leary, Town Clerk of Killarney Urban District Council. ‘Táimse Im’ Chodladh’ was filmed on 24 August, 2013, wrapping after 10 hours and five takes.

The filmed premiered in Dingle on Monday 17 March 2013, a fitting date for a film that deals with cultural identity in the context of emigration and the profound resonance of economic exile in contemporary Ireland.

 

 

FÍSÍN is organised as part of the Dingle International Film Festival. It involves pitching an idea for a short film in competition for a cash prize of €5,0000 with an additional €2,000 worth of filming equipment supplied by Vast Valley. The winning film has to be completed in time for showing in the festival in the following year.

The idea of the competition is to promote Irish language film making, an idea developed by Ciaran Walsh when he was involved, briefly, in a strategic re-think of the festival in 2010/11. Walsh had managed a visual arts programme in The National Folk Theatre that ran in conjunction with the Festival for a number of years. Maurice Galway, Director of Dingle Film Festival, was employed as the curator of a series of exhibitions that complemented the aims and objectives of both The National Folk Theatre and the film festival.

The idea of ‘FÍSÍN’ developed in this context. The aim was to address the need to promote new work by Irish language or Gaeltacht film makers outside of opportunities created by the Irish language television station TG4. Tor Cotton came on board with sponsorship and ‘FÍSÍN’ (fís meaning vision and the suffix -ín denoting little) was formally launched.

An Daingean (Dingle) is the main town in the West Kerry Gaeltacht, an area in which Irish or ‘Gaelic’ is the primary language. ‘FÍSÍN’ was developed to promote the making of new short films in the Irish Language as part of a wider objective of building a greater Irish language component within the festival, acknowledging that one of its principal funders, Údarás na Gaeltachta (the Gaeltacht Authority) was a primary funder of the festival due to its location in the West Kerry Gaeltacht.

Walsh assesses ‘Táimse Im’Chodladh’ as follows: “My involvement with Dingle Film Festival ended shortly afterwards and, although I had some qualms about pitching in a competition I had devised, Denis overrode these and persuaded me to get involved. I am very proud of ‘Táimse im’ Chodladh.’ Emigration is etched into heart and soul of West Kerry, it’s social fabric, landscape and its language. ‘Táimse im’ Chodladh’ is a synthesis of all of that, realised by an artist who has experienced emigration for over thirty years. It was made in Kerry, using local talent and resources to achieve a perfectly compact vision or ‘fís.”

 

 

‘Tigh Donal Rua’ Restored

‘Tigh Donal Rua’ or ‘Red Donal’s House’ is an installation by Irish artist Caoimhghin Ó Fraithile that was commissioned by Ciarán Walsh in 2006. It involved the reconstruction of a 19th century stone cottage in a remote valley west of Dingle town, in the southwest of Ireland. Since 2006 the roof of the installation had deteriorated and it was replaced in October 2013.

The house is thought to have been occupied by Donal Rua and his family and is very typical of the thatched ‘long house’ lived in by tenant farmers and shepherds in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It is located on the side of a hill at the back of a glacial valley that forms part of the Brandon mountain range in West Kerry, an area steeped in archaeology and contemporary Gaelic culture.

By 2006 the cottage had been abandoned for over a century. The roof was long gone but the dry-stone walls were reasonably well preserved. Working with a group of local farmers, stonemasons and craftsmen the walls were restored, the interior excavated and the hearth stone exposed, along with clay pipes and other bits of crockery that were left behind when the house was abandoned.

‘Tigh Donal Rua’ was installed over a couple of months and was part of a series on installations that Ó Fraithile built in West Kerry, each one dealing with themes of locality and commemoration incorporated into traditional dwellings as reliquaries of tradition and folk memory.

He went on to develop similarly themed installations in the States and Japan.

Andrew Duggan and Ciarán Walsh have collaborated on artworks for 10 years, producing the groundbreaking rEVOLUTION project in 2004/5 and continuing on with a series of film based artworks and performances. The Paul Galvin shoot is part of a series that Andrew is working on for exhibition in New York. It focusses on the game of handball and the resonance that handball alleys have in contemporary Ireland.

“The handball alley was a significant venue in the cultural and political life of the surrounding community. For the most part it was built by voluntary local labour, though alleys were also gifted by landlords and patrons. In the early days, the occasion of a match was a significant local event with matchmakers among the spectators. The alley was often the venue for parish dances and gatherings. Local meetings of the United Irishmen were often held in ‘ball alleys’, the Irish Volunteers drilled in them, and they were also the scene of interegation and execution.” Vernacular Consequences

Earlier in the year Duggan and Walsh worked together on a piece that featured contemporary dancer Adrienne Heaslip. It was shown in the Irish Arts Centre in new York in March 2011.

Ciarán Walsh makes debut as film maker

 

Ciarán Walsh of Ballyheigue makes his debut as a film maker with a screening of a short film in Milltown at the weekend. ‘Drawing the Water’ is a public art project by artist Pauline O’Connell. It was commissioned under the Per Cent for Art Scheme that is administered by the Arts Office of Kerry County Council. It was filmed by Walsh in September, on location in Milltown and in a studio in Ballyheigue.

 

It was inspired by ‘The Spout,’ a public water supply in the centre of the Milltown that was a focal point in the town as local people ‘drew’ fresh water on daily basis. O’Connell developed the piece over a year, collecting stories about ‘The Spout’ in schools and in the community.

 

‘Drawing the Water’ is a 4.5 minute film that deals with the tasks associated with collecting water. “It’s an intense reflection on the importance of water, the rhythm of the task of collecting it and the sensuous quality of washing by hand. It’s informed by all the conversations that Pauline has had with people in the town’” says Walsh who spent 3 days filming the artwork for O’Connell. The filming  involved Thomas O’Sullivan of Milltown and the shoot was documented by photographer Siobhan Dempsey of Ballyferriter.

 

Walsh has set up a production company that is based in Ballyheigue. He has a number of projects in development and ‘Drawing the Water’ is the first to hit the big screen. It will be screened on a gable wall next to “The Spout” on Saturday evening followed by a second screening and a ceilí in the community centre in Milltown.

Jimmy Deenihan, Minister for Art, Heritage and Gaeltacht Affairs, unveils restored ‘Maid Of Erin’ in Listowel in event organised by Ciarán Walsh www.curator.ie

Kay and Bernie McAuliffe share a joke with Minister for the Arts Jimmy Deenihan TD

Thursday 25 August 2011, Listowel, Co. Kerry, Ireland.

Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan TD attended an event that was organized by curator.ie to mark the restoration “The Maid of Erin,’  one of the most iconic images of Ireland that was created in Listowel almost a century ago. ‘The Maid of Erin’ is the focus of a public artwork by Sean Lynch. It is dedicated to the work of Pat McAuliffe of Listowel. McAuliffe was active as a builder / plasterer over 100 years ago and created some of the most distinctive shopfronts in Ireland.

Lynch, from Moyvane, is developing an international reputation as an artist who deals with iconic images that have been lost or forgotten. Earlier this year he secured funding for the project in Listowel under the Per Cent for Art scheme administered by Kerry County Council. The ‘Maid of Erin’ premises was re-opened as a temporary centre for the study of McAuliffe’s legacy in North Kerry.  In July Freddie Chute of Listowel spent three weeks painstakingly restoring ‘The Maid of Erin.’ The project was curated by Ciarán Walsh | www.curator.ie. It concludes on Saturday 27 September 2011.

The event was  attended by the Minister for Arts along many members of the McAuliffe family and people involved in the arts and heritage in Listowel.

The Maid of Erin

A public art project by Sean Lynch
Listowel, County Kerry
1st June –  27th August 2011

In summer 2011, the Maid of Erin premises will re-open in Listowel, Co Kerry, to function as an exhibition and study centre of the plasterwork of Pat McAuliffe.  Directed by artist Sean Lynch, the centre will consist of a collection of archival material, a reading area, a revolving photographic display and an audio-visual presentation that all explore McAuliffe’s legacy in North Kerry and West Limerick. During the project, local painter and signwriter Freddy Chute will restore and repaint the building’s façade which features one of McAuliffe’s most famous artworks, The Maid of Erin.

Pat McAuliffe lived and worked in Listowel from 1846 to 1921. In a career as a builder he applied exterior plaster, or stucco, upon shopfronts and townhouse facades in the region. From the 1870s onwards he began to develop an ambitious and often exuberant style, using a broad range of elements culled from the vocabulary of classical architecture and ornament while exploring an eclectic mix of art nouveau, Celtic and Byzantine influences.  Over 35 buildings can be attributed to him. Local writer Bryan MacMahon, in typically poetic fashion, described McAuliffe:
In retrospect I see him quite clearly, great and black-bearded, his dark eyes alive under a cream-coloured straw hat.  He came of an old-established family in the town. As a young man, Pat McAuliffe had in him a restless, imaginative streak that left him dissatisfied with the chores of plastering in an average Irish country town.  After a span of run-of-the-mill work, he began, without any formal training in art, to experiment in casting in concrete in his little yard.  These experiments gave him a new sense of power.  Subsequently, when engaged to plaster the front of a house, he demanded a free hand with the design or else refused to execute the work.

All exhibited material at The Maid of Erin will be freely reproduced and disseminated to the public. Detailed information on buildings where McAuliffe’s artworks are located will be available. The centre will also continue to pro-actively gather further information and material related to the town’s architecture and plasterwork traditions. It will open to the public Wednesday, 12-6pm, Thursday to Saturday 2-6pm, and by prior appointment.

All enquiries about The Maid of Erin project should be directed to Sean Lynch, at 0874138791, or seanlynchmoyvane@eircom.net
