Wexford Fringe has long been established as the home of diverse and entertaining events, spanning all realms of the arts, from theatre and photography to music and literature, and this year’s lineup will certainly solidify this reputation. From the spectacular fireworks display which will illuminate Wexford quay, to the annual Singing and Swinging Pubs Competition, audiences of all ages are guaranteed to be entertained by Wexford Fringe. It is important to recognise that the festival, which will take place between October 21st and November 6th this year, goes far beyond its cultural roots to ensure that it has become a significant contributor to the local economy. Whilst Wexford Fringe runs in parallel with Wexford Festival Opera, its reputation as one of Ireland’s leading entertainment festivals has enabled it to gain recognition as a festival in its own right. As a result, Wexford Fringe continues to attract new tourists to the town, a fact that is warmly welcomed by local hospitality and retail businesses. On behalf of Wexford Chamber and Wexford Fringe, I hope that you enjoy everything that the festival has to offer and together, let’s make Wexford Fringe 2016 one to remember!

    The Hunt of the Unicorn: Tapestry Copies Made for Stirling Castle, Scotland by Amy Beingessner A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History and Visual Culture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Amy Beingessner, May, 2015 ABSTRACT THE HUNT OF THE UNICORN: TAPESTRY COPIES MADE FOR STIRLING CASTLE, SCOTLAND Amy Beingessner Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Professor S. A. Hickson In 2014 the West Dean Tapestry Studio in England completed a commission for Historic Scotland, an agency of the Scottish government, to reproduce the late fifteenth-century Hunt of the Unicorn tapestry series on permanent display at the Cloisters Museum in New York City. The purpose of Historic Scotland’s reproductions is to heighten the tourist’s experience of authenticity in the Renaissance apartments at Stirling Castle, Scotland. This thesis explores Historic Scotland’s decision to reproduce The Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries for the renovation of Stirling Castle’s royal apartments, and how this representation of Scottish heritage and identity challenges traditional boundaries of authorship and authenticity. Applying the concept of the simulacrum, specifically through the writing of Jean Baudrillard and Gilles Deleuze, the Unicorn tapestries are analyzed based on the contexts and authorities that inform perceptions of their status as either copies or originals, revealing authenticity to be a perceived construction. iii Table of Contents Page List of Illustrations ......................................................................................................

This building, the Tapissierspand, became the global center for selling and distributing tapestries of extraordinary beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, and exorbitant cost. The construction of the building indicates that the very nature of how tapestries were made and purchased was changing in the 1550s. Although Antwerp’s fairs had long been convenient locations for agents to find luxury items that might please their wealthy clients, like with many luxury trades, tapestry sales were shifting from strictly commissioned sales to include on spec sales.

Luxury, Aesthetics And Politics: The Social Lives Of Medieval Romance Abstract This dissertation project traces a cultural reception of the romance genre in England and France in the late fourteenth century. In compiling lengthy descriptions of courtly trappings, medieval romances serve as vehicles for idealized aristocratic self-presentation and thereby become complicit in associating material luxury with aristocratic power. I argue that while the changes in material technologies of medieval textual production break down the exclusivity of romance by opening the texts to wider reading publics, the positive representations of luxury in verbal ornament and visual programs of narrative art objects continue the perpetuation of aristocratic privilege. Chapter One examines the Shield of Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the Trojan image-texts in Chaucer’s House of Fame as imitatio of Virgilian ekphrases, theorizing medieval understanding of a Greek poetic device. Chapter Two analyzes the Tryst beneath the Tree episode from Tristan and Isolde as it is rendered on fourteenth-century Parisian ivory caskets, situating the composition within the larger visual program that teaches aristocratic women about heterosexual desire through a negotiation of sight and touch.

It examines technique and a narrative approach to the medium which was developed by William Morris from his study of medieval tapestries.
