The You That Is In It | 1 July - 16 November | Irish Museum of Modern Art
by Fiona Hallinan (Ireland) with Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh (Ireland)
The You That Is In It is a site-specific audio installation by Fiona Hallinan in collaboration with sound designer Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh which invites visitors to take part in an intervention into the spaces of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) and the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Responding to the themes of the Ábhar agus Meon event series, Hallinan has created an 'audio detour' and work on paper which brings visitors from the Self as Selves exhibition in the Gordon Lambert Galleries through the landscape and grounds at Kilmainham. The work explores the palimpsestic qualities and percolations of art/heritage spaces. Responding to and departing from the programmed works of Self as Selves, the 'detour’ transects and undercuts traditional understandings of gallery spaces, physicalising the visual arts through synaesthetic participation and performance. This commission is facilitated by Ian Russell in collaboration with Christina Kennedy, Senior Curator, the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
Self as Selves | 17 June - 16 November | Irish Museum of Modern Art
Self as Selves is an exhibition of works which explores the provisional nature of ‘self’, as a series of transitory states, always changing, never defined. The selected works invoke intersecting notions of self - internal and external, corporeal and conceptual, personal and collective - while implicating the viewer in a reciprocal flow of shifting states. The exhibition is curated by Chistina Kennedy with works mainly from IMMA's permanent collection. It includes works by Marina Abramovic, Janine Antoni, Maud Cotter, Gerard Dillon, Marcel Duchamp, Ellen Gallagher, Antony Gormley, Ann Hamilton, Dusan Kusmic, Julio le Parc, Juan Munoz, Isabel Nolan, Brian O'Doherty/Patrick Ireland, Hermione Wiltshire and Paul Winstanley. Invited artists include Fergus Byrne and Fiona Hallinan.
The You That Is In It will be opened on 30 June 2008 at the State Reception at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Those attending the reception are invited to tour the exhibition Self as Selves and respond to The You That Is In It both before and after the official speeches at the reception.
