Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane Programme of Events January–April 2011 Hugh Lane Online: www.hughlane.ie Until 10 April 2011 Richard Tuttle is acknowledged as one of the leading Post-Minimalist artists. He first exhibited in New York in the renowned Betty Parsons Gallery in 1965. His reputation rests on his persistently 3 J a unconstrained art practice, using improvisational n – A working procedures and non-traditional materials. p r 2 He commonly refers to his work as drawing rather 0 1 1 than sculpture, underlining the diminutive scale and R i c h idea-based nature of his practice. a r d “The benefits of freeing drawing from a canon T u t t l are obvious, and I would like it to remain free e : T r forever.” – Richard Tuttle i u m p h s Dubl in City Gallery The Hugh Lane Installation detail of Richard Tuttle, Triumphs . © Richard Tuttle.

Triumphs begins with work from the mid-1960s and continues through to the present. It takes its title from the Italian poet Petrarch (130 4–1374), whose renowned poems ‘The Triumphs’ Tuttle was reading while preparing for this exhibition. Classical Rome in the time of Emperor Augustus, the Augustan aesthetic and its revival in neo-classicism form part of the framework for the exhibition. For Triumphs , The Hugh Lane and its history also became part of the raw material that Richard Tuttle employed. James Caulfeild, the 1st Earl of Charlemont (172 8–1799), translated Petrarch’s poems, a manuscript of which is in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. Richard Tuttle has always questioned the perceived supremacy of the verbal as the most elevated form of expression. His oeuvre of books therefore is as radical as his drawings. Richard Tuttle: Books , curated by Logan Sisley, reveals a significant activity for the artist and is on exhibition in Gallery 18. This is Richard Tuttle’s first exhibition at The Hugh 4 Lane and his second in Ireland. He showed at the 5 J Douglas Hyde Gallery in 1997.

  • 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.

  • Barbara Clausen in Ireland in Venice 2005
    Ireland at Venice 2005 Artists Stephen Brandes Mark Garry Ronan McCrea Isabel Nolan Sarah Pierce Walker and Walker Commissioner Sarah Glennie Installation view Scuola di San Pasquale, Ireland at Venice 2005 Foreword 3 This book is an overview of Ireland’s participation at the Venice Biennale, specifically in the context of Sarah Glennie’s commissioning of the 2005 Irish Pavilion. It is a critical endeavour that does more than document ‘Ireland at Venice 2005’. With essays by Sarah Glennie, Declan Long and Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith, this publication offers a unique insight into the history of Irish artists at Venice and situates the national pavilion in the wider context of contemporary Irish art. In addition, texts on the artists Stephen Brandes, Mark Garry, Ronan McCrea, Isabel Nolan, Sarah Pierce and Walker and Walker, provide a valuable appreciation of the different practices that represented Ireland at the 51st Venice Biennale. The assured work of these artists reflects the confident mood of contemporary art in Ireland. One of the hallmarks of Sarah Glennie’s approach as commissioner has been to involve a wide range of organisations, each providing expertise and support for Ireland’s participation at Venice. From the core funding granted by Culture Ireland/Cultúr Éireann and the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, to the Sculptors’ Society of Ireland’s special issue of Printed Project, to the contributions made by the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Limerick Institute of Technology, Glennie has drawn on the strengths of the burgeoning visual arts culture in Ireland to create a remarkable presence for the pavilion both in Venice and in Ireland.

  • Dorothy Cross’ Work Ranges from Object to Opera: Working with Sculpture, Photography and Video
    stoney road press Dorothy Born in Cork, Ireland, in 1956, Dorothy Cross’ work ranges from object to opera: working with sculpture, photography and video. The themes of her work have dealt with memory Cross and inheritance, sexuality and desire, and the position of the human in nature. Her work came to mainstream public attention with her solo show Ebb at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Trinity College, Dublin in 1988. This was followed by several major shows: Powerhouse at the ICA Philadelphia (1991) and even, at Arnolfini, Bristol, England (1996). These shows were made up of large sculptures that often contained found objects both from her family and from studios such as the Pigeonhouse power station in Dublin Bay where she worked for four years in the early 90’s. She represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 1993 and the Istanbul Biennial in 1997 with her Udder series. Her best known public work is Ghost Ship, where she painted a de- commissioned lightship with phosphorous paint and moored it in Dublin Bay, where it glowed at night for several weeks in the winter of 1999. In 2005 a major retrospective of her work was held at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Dorothy now lives on the coast of north Galway. She is represented by Kerlin Gallery, Dublin and Frith Street Gallery, London.

Honors Undergraduate Theses. 126. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/honorstheses/126 DESTABILIZING IDENTITY: THE WORKS OF DOROTHY CROSS by AILEEN O. DOWLING A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Art History in the College of Arts and Humanities and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term, 2016 Thesis Chair: Dr. Ilenia Colón Mendoza ABSTRACT This thesis aims to analyze Dorothy Cross’s sculptural, installation, and video works in relation to Ireland’s Post-Conflict struggle with its cultural and global identity. Throughout the course of history, Ireland’s identity has always been in question, sparking new interest over the last thirty years in producing an Irish identity discerned by “hybridity, multiplicity, and mobility.”1 Declan McGonagle states that the traditional Irish constructs of gender and sexuality were primarily challenged by Dorothy Cross during this period of rapid sociopolitical change.2 Cross consistently deconstructs pre-Christian Mother Ireland and patriarchal Catholic Ireland in her early sculptural works, and ultimately transitions towards communicating a collective identity rooted in loss and desire.

  • Leaving It All Behind by Cristín Leach, the Sunday Times Ireland, 2016
    REVIEW PATRICK JOLLEY ESTATE Leaving it all behind By Cristín Leach The Sunday Times Ireland, Culture Section, July, 3rd 2016 What happens when an artist, still under the age of fifty and making brilliant new work is suddenly gone, too soon and, for those around them, entirely unexpectedly? It happens, and when it does, one of the biggest challenges for those left behind is what to do with the art. In 2011 and 2012, within the space of three months, two of our most significant mid-career artists passed away. William McKeown died by suicide at his studio home in Edinburgh, aged 49. Patrick Jolley had a fatal heart attack while filming in New Delhi. He was 47. These two men, one born in Tyrone, the other in County Down, worked in different mediums: one predominantly paint, the other predominantly film. Both had achieved a certain level of international recognition which, despite artworld globalisation, continues to elude the vast majority of the most talented, provocative, productive or even self-promoting artists born on this island. In general, the wider world does not pay much focused attention to visual art by Irish or Northern Irish artists. It’s not where our creative reputation as a nation lies, yet. William McKeown, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Kerlin Gallery, October 2015. Neither Jolley nor McKeown were the self-promoting type. Both made quietly powerful work that grabbed the eyes and minds of certain pockets of the artworld, certain curators, more than it did those of big-shot collectors, although McKeown was and continues to be successfully represented by the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin.

Throughout the 1990’s Dorothy Cross’ remarkable body of work sought to create a very particular and provocative beauty by repositioning the physical body and desire at the centre of Christian mythology and iconography. Cross’ 1992 work ‘The First Supper,’ can be considered a key work that exemplifies the artist’s approach at the time. The work makes playful reference to the Last Supper, both its religious origin and its representation through art history but this is the First Supper and here the twelve objects prefigure the twelve apostles. Here the twelve participants are ambiguously gendered as their forms suggest both phallus and breast. Here, each object can be read as a chalice or a teat, as symbolic or bodily, as male or female. The work was first shown in 1992 in a 12th Century convent in Madrid as part of the Edge Biennial and later reconfigured for the artist’s 2000 show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb The First Supper 1992 12 elements, each handblown glass and liquid silver 27 x 10 x 10 cm 16.5 x 9 x 9 cm

  • Cross, Dorothy
    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS delivered by: DR MICHAEL B. MURPHY, Vice- Chancellor of the University, President, University College Cork on 2 December 2009 in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Arts, honoris causa, on DOROTHY CROSS A Sheansailéir, a mhuintir na hOllscoile agus a dhaoine uaisle, Universities confer doctorates regularly on those who have written books, but rarely are recipients themselves the subjects of books. It is my privilege, Chancellor, to present to you, Dorothy Cross, one of Ireland’s leading artists with a long established and extensive international reputation. In the book simply entitled Dorothy Cross published in 2005 and edited by Sean Kissane, the creative work of Dorothy Cross was described by Enrique Juncosa, Director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, as “a poetic amalgamation of found and constructed objects, sometimes humorous, sometimes disturbing, always intellectually stimulating and physically arresting”. Since the mid-eighties, working in a variety of media including sculpture, photography, video and installation, Cross has conducted witty and inventive investigations of contemporary sexual mores and politics. During the nineties, she produced two extended series of sculptural works, using cured cowhide and stuffed snakes respectively, which drew on these animals’ rich store of symbolic associations across cultures, to investigate the construction of sexuality and subjectivity. More recently, she devoted increasing amounts of time to the development of large-scale public events and projects, most memorably the award-winning “Ghostship” in which a disused light ship was illuminated through use of luminous paint, in Scotman's Bay, off Dublin's Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
