A critical international figure in the area of collectivity and artist-led activity and politics, Sholette has been collaborating with the 126 Gallery and its membership over the last number of months to re-visit the concept of the Imaginary Archive.</p><p>Synopsis: Imagine yourself uncovering a cache of materials and documents that record a past whose future never arrived? Imaginary Archive Galway (IAG) is just such a repository: printed materials, objects, and narratives that imagine an alternative history, which nevertheless sheds a surprisingly strong light on concrete realities. New York based artist Gregory Sholette invited participants from Galway, New Zealand, Europe, and the United States to produce this “what if” collection of archival materials addressing topics from forgotten Irish inventors and fantastic nation-branding campaigns, to uncharted offshore islands and mysterious pirate radio broadcasts. On display at 126 Gallery, IAG consists of under-represented, unknown, invisible, or merely hoped-for "historical" materials that point to multiple ways of interpreting the past, the present, and the future.

A little different this year was the fact that it was themed and juried. Challenging members to address the themes of paradigm shifts, and changes in culture, science + society. The exhibit was a solid reflection of the strength and quality of art being produced by those that make up the 126 membership. I was unable to get any usable photos of the show, but <a href="http://www.showerofkunst.com/2010/01/video-killed-radio-star.html">Shower of Kunst</a> has a great photo review of the exhibit.<br />Also at the RHA is Nevan Lahart's <span style="font-style: italic;">A Lively Start to a Dead End</span>. One can always expect an off-the-wall show from Lahart and this one doesnt dissapoint. Although I would say that the show does struggle a bit in the massive space.

Ailbhe Ní Bhriain has taken over the <a href="http://www.galwayartscentre.ie/events/view-event/125.html">Galway Arts Centre</a> with numerous videos and photographs.<br />Bhriain creates beautifully complex and detailed video work. Her pieces are dreamy, quiet landscapes punctuated with familiar Irish iconography. The mood of the works is often sentimental and nostalgic. In a few, one will find the placement of theatre or cinema chairs in the videos, I found myself asking if these are implying an awareness of the cliche, the displayed marketability, the common commercial appeal of these Irish-isms?

Galway to Berlin.Wrote a piece on this years Tulca festival for the<span style="font-style: italic;"> Shower of Kunst</span> site you can read it <a href="http://www.showerofkunst.com/">here</a>. So I am in Canada for a quick visit. Unplanned but enjoying it non-the less. I had an opportunity to visit the<a href="http://www.kwag.ca/"> Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery</a> and their feature exhibit <span style="font-style: italic;">Building Berlin</span>, guest curated by <a href="http://www.germainekoh.com/">Germaine Koh</a>. A brave exhibition by KWAG and a little challenge for the citizens of Berlin* should always be welcome. The show is complex in both concept (urbanity) and media and as a result asks a lot of the visitor, but the return is worth the investment. Daniela Brahm's installation along with Norwegian artist Lars Ramberg's <span style="font-style: italic;">Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof</span> were the visually commanding stand-out works for me. Overall the show is most certainly worth the trip out to Kitchener-Waterloo, it runs till January 23, 2010. As an added bonus you can download the catalogue from KWAG's site.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">*Kitchener's original name was Berlin.

Just wanted to drop a few lines in regards to </span><i style="font-style: italic;">At the still point of the turning world</i><span style="font-style: italic;">. I am not sure what you felt like you were missing? Hitchcock is fairly main stream, no? You might have seen some of his movies. He dealt with suspense and psychological thrillers. This would be the first clue as to where things are going from there. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Perec</span> maybe you might not have read or heard about him. If not you should pick up one of his books really great stuff. Jorge Louis Borges will at this stage I feel like I am repeating myself here. All exhibitions have press releases, some artists have books about them. The fact the the more you know about any subject the better your understanding of it will become. So if we take Physics for example we may look at examples of it on a daily basis but if you do not know what to look for then you might not see it? To have a better understanding of Physics you read, study and experience it. I believe this applies to most subjects. You as the viewer expect certain things from an artwork and me as an artist expect certain things from my viewer. I think this is a fair exchange. It is like a conversation. So if I am speaking and my interlocutor is not participating then this is not an engaging conversation. Right?</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">-- </span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Best wishes,</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">–––––––––––––––</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Lee </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="il"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Welch<br /><br /></span></span>I was happy to hear from Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Welch</span> even if he was a little disappointed in what I wrote. I still stand by what I wrote though. I believe that Mr <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Welch</span> expects a lot from his viewers but what does the viewer get for this high expectation? As one of my colleagues put it, there just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">wasn't</span> that a-ha moment. And for those who haven't <span style="font-style: italic;">read, studied and experienced</span> contemporary and/or conceptual art, what can they expect? Those viewers who walk into the gallery off the street, the general population, not the students, artists or writers on art, but just regular people. I suspect Mr <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Welch</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">doesn't</span> care all that much for what the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">un</span>-read masses get or <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">don't</span> get from his work. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Don't</span> get me wrong though, I do not want artists to dumb down or compromise their work for the sake of mass inclusion. Maybe that's unfair to ask of artists, to be all accessible. I am the first to admit a distaste for art that doesn't challenge or engage. So then, what am I asking? Obviously each show impacts the viewer relative to the context one views it in. In the end, I found Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Welch's</span> show too vague, lacking substance and failed to provide that "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">ok</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">yeh</span> I get it" moment.<br /><br />On a completely unrelated topic, I had wonderful opportunity to explore Ireland a little more with the recent visit of my wife's parents. We looked for the location of an old family bit of land where a house had stood. The trip was something of an adventure. We ventured out to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Killucan</span> which is just west of Dublin. We were looking for a place called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Lowtown</span> house. Mind you this house no longer exist it was torn down during the 50's. So we proceeded to ask people around the area. One person lead to another. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Until</span> we were directed to the Brothers <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Geraghty</span>. (Michael <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Geraghty</span> is pictured below) I am mentioning it only because of the impact it has had on me. Sitting in Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Geraghty's</span> home listening to him recount minute historical details of the area and the people made me keenly area of how little I know about my own back story.

First time in London and it was an excellent visit. Stopped by the Tate not to see the Futurism or Per <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kirkeby</span> exhibit ( I didn't want to pay, although I would have liked to see the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kirkeby</span> show) so we took a gander at the collection displays.

These two pieces were impressive to say the least.

( aka hired help or more professionally titled, assistants) A common enough practice in many fields other than art but when it comes to artists, credibility seems to come into question. It seems the integrity of the artist who doesnt toil away at his or her own work is lessened when assistants are added. Artists work with ideas and concepts, application and rendering although obviously important are secondary. Regardless, an interesting discussion about accountability. I will have to talk to my team of assistants and see what they think.

Shameful if I don't say so myself. I had every intention to write on a number of events, art shows and other random-ness, but the motivation to actually place finger to key failed to appear.<br /><br />So, anyway, the Galway Arts Festival came and went. When Nina and I moved here last year we had just missed it. So with that I was looking forward to checking it out this time around. I was a little bit disappointed. I think it was generally agreed that the exhibit they put on was rather poor. With the exception of John Brady's very fine large sculptural piece with accompanying paintings and Hockney's prints, it was a wash.<br />The Galway Arts Centre had an interesting video showcase by Lars Laumann. Sorry I dont have a great link for you but the <a href="http://www.galwayartscentre.ie/events/view-event/110.html">Galway Arts Centre</a> has a good write up for their exhibition. Again that was a while ago so I wont really go into it, a couple really stand out pieces.<br /><br />I was fortunate to see the Knee-jerk collective's (they told me they have a website in the works, I'll post a link when its up) show at the thatched cottage, a wonderful little well preserved cottage here in Galway. I ended up bringing some friends by the exhibit as I thought both the venue and the artistic response by the collective was spot on. (Some pics. I will get names and titles up shortly)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitW0bDC2Tx47wZBbQ6RELIwFpfIIBak5wJF4aiVpvo9dXTRpmScR7eAv3ciwtypsYi7xAk4PAwsp1ABw7PcLNXgPDcmuh1_aidecyI6234fn9kzPl0QoPtXGyykLbz3U8qnzZeyQ/s1600-h/aug+22+09+128.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitW0bDC2Tx47wZBbQ6RELIwFpfIIBak5wJF4aiVpvo9dXTRpmScR7eAv3ciwtypsYi7xAk4PAwsp1ABw7PcLNXgPDcmuh1_aidecyI6234fn9kzPl0QoPtXGyykLbz3U8qnzZeyQ/s320/aug+22+09+128.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376558494168139618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TWFRgH-_1GdIM9xiR-woAldR0EEe91yOcgvH3Q9lI7OWTvvChbV-LmNPx75S2_1wCdZ5mDqcx2e04ENOUF9U13BFU1WekL06vu-fMZLkbMR3D7yUW_w0t6b-Vdc64fKUR_P43w/s1600-h/aug+22+09+121.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TWFRgH-_1GdIM9xiR-woAldR0EEe91yOcgvH3Q9lI7OWTvvChbV-LmNPx75S2_1wCdZ5mDqcx2e04ENOUF9U13BFU1WekL06vu-fMZLkbMR3D7yUW_w0t6b-Vdc64fKUR_P43w/s320/aug+22+09+121.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376558482988765730" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWiBsW98oTy0hlxhyphenhyphenspGTVm2gM_O8tEZ1HBcYs4msvZ5i83GBV42eNl2pldNT3DHnNIgIXX6yyn0j2PFoTHTJCkrAlKMPtcNQd3r-CGA4P0MLU15MxsnHBMq2LW518hoOe0ZYQcQ/s1600-h/aug+22+09+119.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWiBsW98oTy0hlxhyphenhyphenspGTVm2gM_O8tEZ1HBcYs4msvZ5i83GBV42eNl2pldNT3DHnNIgIXX6yyn0j2PFoTHTJCkrAlKMPtcNQd3r-CGA4P0MLU15MxsnHBMq2LW518hoOe0ZYQcQ/s320/aug+22+09+119.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376558477098923202" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASMC5zuYtFH7xg1evQLsWQWgZ5a39SYbQIcYaPA5xguElAyGvaJ-2emUVUsYIubacwDwg37mANHHiyA2w3yUVoYm5q169ygRDA7PdBtue-yS3DQ7D-ct_TTwKLTNgZPsnKlqLmQ/s1600-h/aug+22+09+117.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 303px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASMC5zuYtFH7xg1evQLsWQWgZ5a39SYbQIcYaPA5xguElAyGvaJ-2emUVUsYIubacwDwg37mANHHiyA2w3yUVoYm5q169ygRDA7PdBtue-yS3DQ7D-ct_TTwKLTNgZPsnKlqLmQ/s320/aug+22+09+117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376558469536910466" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I am looking forward to their next project.
