  • Caulking Mallet
    THE HISTORY OF TIREE IN 100 OBJECTS: no. 83 CAULKING MALLET Over the last few months, Donald Brown, Vaul, has given An Iodhlann a number of boat building tools from his family's workshop. Among them is this substantial wooden caulking mallet, along with a bag of oakum (hemp soaked in tar), three caulking irons, an adze, a wooden block plane and a spokeshave. Taken together, these beautiful tools, smoothed by years of use, shine a flickering light on an often- forgotten Tiree craft. In the nineteenth century, many islanders had a boat but were relatively slow to adopt industrial fishing of the waters around Tiree. The Duke of Argyll had tried hard to encourage matters, letting a croft in Scarinish to a 'boat carpenter' as early as 1802 and crofts in Mannal to prospective fishermen. But the lack of a half-decent harbour meant that all island boats had to be dragged up the beach to safety every evening, limiting their size. Smaller boats took longer to sail out to the fishing grounds, could carry fewer lines and were less safe in the huge seas around Skerryvore. The minister reported in 1845: 'Though almost all are occasional fishers, yet few follow it steadily as a profession. Out of ninety-four fishing skiffs which the parish contains, only ten are regularly employed.' Six years later, however, census officials identified 127 'fishermen' on Tiree, and seven boat building workshops sprang up to service this suddenly booming industry. The classic Tiree skiff, built for the long line white fishery, was an open, double- ended boat between twenty and twenty-six feet long, with a single mast and rigged as a dipping lug.

  • Installing “Chris Burden: Extreme Measures”
    Installing “Chris Burden: Extreme Measures” Joshua Edwards, Director of Exhibitions Management, demystifies the process of installing the most ambitious show in the New Museum’s history. Ghost Ship, 2005. Thirty-foot handmade sixareen sailboat, aluminum mast, computers and software, hydraulics, GPS system, auto rudder, and rigging; 4,000 lbs. Courtesy the artist and Gagosian Gallery Ghost Ship weighs about four thousand pounds and it posed some unconventional engineering challenges. The ship was never meant to be hung in the air in this manner, it was meant to be in water. To support it, we had to work with a team of architects and engineers to design the outrigger structures and the connection points that would secure the ship to the side of the building. Additionally, beyond the engineering, Chris wanted the ship to be rigged as if it was ready to sail. In all of my experience at the Museum, I’ve never had to sail a ship so I knew I was out of my depth. Further complicating the matter, due to the size of the crane we were using, we had to shut down the northbound lanes of the Bowery and do all of our work between midnight and 6 a.m. So we not only had to find a maritime rigger, but also one who could come out at 1 a.m. It’s not every day that you have to rig a ship in the middle of the street in the middle of the night. Twin Quasi Legal Skyscrapers, 2013. In collaboration with TK Architecture, Los Angeles, CA.

    MEREKEELE NÕUKOJA Koosoleku teokiri nr 80 09.04.2013 Veeteede Amet Tallinn, Valge tn 4 Algus kell 14.00, lõpp 16.00 Osavõtjad: Malle Hunt, Peedu Kass, Uno Laur, Taidus Linikoja, Aado Luksepp, Ants Raud, Rein Raudsalu, Tauri Roosipuu, Madli Vitismann, Peeter Veegen, Ants Ärsis. Juhataja: Peedu Kass Kirjutaja: Malle Hunt 1. Mälestasime leinaseisakuga meie seast lahkunud nõukoja liiget Ain Eidastit. 2. Vastasime terminoloogi küsimustele. Pikem selgitus terminitele port ja harbour Peeter Veegen: Meil Tallinnas on "Port of Tallinn" administratiiv-juriidiline ettevõte, mille koosseisus mitu väiksemat sadamat, mida võime tõlkida "harbour" (Paljassaare Harbour, Old Harbour, Paldiski Harbour). Ajalooliselt on pigemini kujunenud nii, et Harbour on varjumis- ja seismise koht laevadele, millel võib olla erinevaid funktsioone (nt. Miinisadam, Lennusadam, Hüdrograafiasadam jne.) Ehk ka "Last harbour" - viimne varjupaik. Port on seevastu kauba käitlemise, lastimise-lossimise, reisijate teenendamise koht- teiste sõnadega ühendus maa ja mere vahel (ka arvutil on mitu "porti" ühenduseks maailmaga). Merekaubavedudel kasutame mõisted "Port of call", "Port of destination" Vene keelest leiame analoogiana gavanj = harbour, port = port Eesti keeles on meil mõlemal juhul sadam, nii et neid kattuvaid mõisteid võime kasutada nii ja naa, aga kontekstist lähtuvalt võiks siiski tõlkes ajaloolist tausta arvestada. Madli Vitismann: - "port" on enam ettevõte, terminalide kogum ja muu lastimisega seotu - sadamaettevõtted Port of Tallinn ja Ports of Stockholm (samuti mitut sadamat koondav ettevõte). Või Paldiski Northern Port kui omaette sadamaettevõte. - "harbour" on pigem sadam kui konkreetne sadamabassein, sildumiskoht jm, nt Old City harbour Tallinna Sadama koosseisus ja Kapellskär Stockholmi Sadamate koosseisus - nende kodulehel on rubriik "Ship in harbour" http://www.stockholmshamnar.se/en/ . Ka rootsi keeles on üks vaste sõnale "sadam" - "hamn".

    JAMES DODDS JAMES DODDS 2018 www.messums.com 28 Cork Street, London W1S 3NG Telephone: +44 (0)20 7437 5545 1. Priscilla 3 3 oil on linen 100 x 100 cms 39 ⁄8 x 39 ⁄8 ins Foreword I became intrigued by James Dodds some years ago when I first read ‘Tide Lines’, the book about his life and work by fellow east coast citizen, Ian Collins, the two of them born ‘in an elemental region that has far more sky and water than earth.’ I was a judge of the New Angles prize, in the middle of writing my own Suffolk novel, immersed in the poems, stories, and images of East Anglia, but this was the book that touched me most. The quiet drama of Dodds’ life, the romance of it, the search for a story that he needed to tell, the satisfying culmination of finding it. In the years since, I have often leafed through its pages, admiring the detail of the lino prints, the beauty of the Essex landscapes, and above all, the paintings of the boats. The boats are Dodds’ masterpieces – his models – each one as different as a human sitter. Glossy, dilapidated, sturdy, elegant, we see them whole, aged, clothed, in disarray, stripped to their skeletal construction. He shows us the insides of them, the colours, chosen, and those that have evolved. He shows us what he sees, and makes it possible for us to see it. Now I find myself standing in his Wivenhoe studio. It is minutes from the house he shares with his wife Catherine and their two grown children, on the site of an abandoned ship yard.
