  • Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross B
    Kerlin Gallery Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross b. 1956, Cork, Ireland Like many of Dorothy Cross’ sculptures, Family (2005) and Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) sees the artist work with found objects, transforming them with characteristic wit and sophistication. Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) presents a pair of deflated footballs, no longer of use, their past buoyancy now anchored in bronze. Emerging from each is a cast of the artist’s hands, index finger extended upwards in a pointed gesture suggesting optimism or aspiration. In Family (2005) we see the artist’s undeniable craft and humour come together. Three spider crabs were found, dead for some time but still together. The intricacies of their form and the oddness of their sideways maneuvres forever cast in bronze. The ‘father’ adorned with an improbable appendage also pointing upwards and away. --- Working in sculpture, film and photography, Dorothy Cross examines the relationship between living beings and the natural world. Living in Connemara, a rural area on Ireland’s west coast, the artist sees the body and nature as sites of constant change, creation and destruction, new and old. This flux emerges as strange and unexpected encounters. Many of Cross’ works incorporate items found on the shore, including animals that die of natural causes. During the 1990s, the artist produced a series of works using cow udders, which drew on the animals' rich store of symbolic associations across cultures to investigate the construction of sexuality Dorothy Cross Right Ball and Left Ball 2007 cast bronze, unique 34 x 20 x 19 cm / 13.4 x 7.9 x 7.5 in 37 x 19 x 17 cm / 14.6 x 7.5 x 6.7 in DC20407A Dorothy Cross Family 2005 cast bronze edition of 2/4 dimensions variable element 1: 38 x 19 x 20 cm / 15 x 7.5 x 7.9 in element 2: 25 x 24 x 13 cm / 9.8 x 9.4 x 5.1 in element 3: 16 x 15 x 13 cm / 6.3 x 5.9 x 5.1 in DC17405-2/4 Dorothy Cross b.

    Image: Jed Niezgoda Press Release 12/10/20 Catherine Martin T.D., Minister for Tourism, Culture, Art, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, announces an acquisition fund of €1 million for the Crawford Art Gallery and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) Crawford Art Gallery is to receive a substantial acquisition fund from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Art, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The fund of €400,000 will enable Crawford Art Gallery to purchase artworks which will enhance the national collection as it invests in works from contemporary Irish artists or artists based in Ireland. In providing these funds to Crawford Art Gallery and IMMA, the Department is significantly increasing the capacity of the two National Cultural Institutions to pursue their remit to support contemporary artists and to collect works reflecting the times in which we live. Minister Martin said: “I am delighted to announce this significant funding for the two National Cultural Institutions, Crawford Art Gallery and the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Arts and culture are a core part of who we are, and they have been the source of so much support over the last months. I am pleased to be able to make this allocation to enhance the national collection. By doing so, we are providing vital support to Irish artists during this unprecedented time.” Mary McCarthy, Director of Crawford Art Gallery, said: “With exhibition opportunities and international touring opportunities limited in these Covid times, this acquisition fund will enable Crawford Art Gallery and IMMA to continue to promote artists and their work by adding to the National Collection.

  • Dear IAAH Members, Welcome to the Second Newsletter of 2015 and Many Thanks for Your Continued Support of the Association. Over
    ISSN 0791-1221 Newsletter May - August 2015 Dear IAAH Members, Welcome to the second Newsletter of 2015 and many thanks for your continued support of the Association. Over the last few months we have organised a number of events. In January we enjoyed an intriguing guided tour at IMMA of the Trove exhibition curated by Dorothy Cross. In February, I gave a curator’s tour of the Passion and Persuasion exhibition at the NGI, thanks to all of you who came and for the good wishes and support. The annual Study Day went really well and we had seven interesting and well-presented papers. Many thanks to the speakers who put in so much work and also to those of you who took the trouble to come on the day. In April, a number of our members headed off to Madrid ably led by Sarah Maguire and Caoilte O’Mahony. Their visits included the El Escorial and a day trip to Toledo. Photos are up on our Facebook page and our thanks go to Sarah and Caoilte for all their hard work in organising and leading the trip. The IAAH Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday 23rd May at the NGI, Merrion Square. This will be preceded with a talk by Dr Sarah Wilson on Form and Function: Syria and Imperial Rome. Our thanks go to the NGI for allowing us to host our AGM at the Gallery. In June there will be a day trip to the Crawford and the Lewis Glucksman Gallery in Cork. In July Dr Maureen Doyle will give a tour of the art treasures at the National Museum of Archaeology.

  • UCC-Compact.Pdf
    Mission-based Performance Compact between University College Cork and The Higher Education Authority Date: February 2014 Context This Compact is an agreement between the Higher Education Authority and University College Cork and is the outcome of a process of strategic dialogue between the two bodies. The purpose of strategic dialogue is to align the missions, strategies and profiles of individual higher education institutions with national priorities, and to agree strategic objective indicators of success against which institutional performance will be measured and funding allocated. This Compact demonstrates a shared sense of the balance that is required between institutional autonomy and public accountability and a recognition that a diverse range of strong, autonomous institutions is essential for the overall higher education system to respond effectively to evolving and unpredictable societal needs. The Compact recognises that University College Cork is an autonomous institution with a distinctive mission, operating within a regional, national and international higher education environment. The Compact recognises that there is a tension between providing a transparent framework of public accountability for performance in relation to funding, and risks of unintended behaviours related to measurements. It addresses this tension by requiring higher education institutions themselves to propose the qualitative and quantitative indicators against which their performance should be assessed by the Higher Education Authority. The purpose of this Compact is to provide a strategic framework for the relationship between the Higher Education Authority and University College Cork. It sets out how University College Cork’s mission and goals align with national goals for higher education. By detailing HEA funding commitments and reciprocal University College Cork commitments, this Compact also contributes to creating a transparent and accountable system of administration of State funding.
