KĀKĀKAU ʻO SEÁN KISSANE I KA HOIKE MA IMMA E HOOMANAʻANA I KA HOʻoilina O KEKAHI KĀʻI KĀʻI IRISH MODERNIST.
Ke hōʻike nei i kēia manawa ma IMMA, 'Hilary Heron: A Retrospective' hoʻolauleʻa i ka hana paionia a Dublin-born modernist sculptor, Hilary Heron (1923 – 1977). ʻO kēia ka hōʻikeʻike nui mua loa o ka hana a Heron mai ka makahiki 1964 a ʻo ia ka mea e hui pū ai i nā hana noʻeau mai nā hōʻiliʻili aupuni a me ka honua. Mahele o ka IMMA Modern Masters moʻo, ʻimi kēia retrospective e hoʻoponopono i ka haʻalele koʻikoʻi o ka hana a Heron i nā makahiki he mau makahiki ma hope o kona make ʻana.
ʻO wau ka manaʻo o Riann Coulter e hoʻopaʻa i kahi retrospective o Heron ma mua o ʻumi makahiki i hala. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻopuehu ʻia kāna hana, a no ka liʻiliʻi o nā noiʻi i hana ʻia, me he mea lā he hana hiki ʻole. Ua hiki kēia papahana ma o ka hana i hana ʻia e Billy Shortall, ʻo ka mua me kāna thesis haku, a ʻo ka lua ma o ka noiʻi ʻana i kauoha ʻia e IMMA e ʻimi i nā hana e ola nei a Heron, e huki pū i nā kumu kumu mua a me nā kumu lua, a kākau i ke ala o kāna biography a me kāna ʻoihana noʻeau.
Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka hōʻikeʻike ma IMMA ma luna o kekahi mau lumi, e wehewehe ana kēlā me kēia i kahi kumuhana ʻokoʻa: Biography, Early Work, Venice Biennale, Flight, Primitivism, ke Kino Kāne, a me ke Kino Wahine.1 Hōʻike nā hōʻike i ka laulā piha o ka hana kiʻi kiʻi a Heron, e like me ke kālai lāʻau, ke kālai pōhaku, ka wili ʻana i nā metala like ʻole, nā mea hoʻokuʻu alakaʻi, nā mea hoʻomaha metala, a me nā hui pōhaku i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, a me kāna mau hana kiʻi kiʻi o ke kaha kiʻi a me ke kaha.2
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo Heron i kahi ʻano a i ʻole mea hoʻokahi, akā hoʻomau mau ʻo ia i nā mea hou a hoʻolōʻihi i nā hiki o kāna ʻano kiʻi kiʻi. Ua lanakila ʻo Heron i nā makana he nui, me ka Taylor Scholarship ʻekolu mau makahiki e holo ana. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i ka Irish Exhibition of Living Art, i loaʻa i ka ʻoihana kūʻai me ka Waddington Galleries, a ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ʻo ia ma ka paʻi ʻana ma ke ʻano he mea kālai kiʻi kaulana loa o Ireland. Ua hōʻike pū ʻo Heron iā ʻIlani ma ka 1956 Venice Biennale me ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Louis le Brocquy (1916 - 2012). No kēia hoʻomanaʻo hope, hōʻike mākou i kahi hoʻihoʻi ʻana o ka hui ʻana o Heron's Venice Biennale.3
Ma kāna ʻatikala no ka monograph e pili pū ana, heluhelu ʻo Riann Coulter i ka hana a Heron ma o ka lens wahine, me ka ʻike ʻana i loko o kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi i ke kaula maʻamau o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa a me ka hōʻole ʻana o ka wahine. Hoʻohālikelike ʻo Coulter i ka hōʻike ʻana o Heron ma ka pāpaho ma ke ʻano he wahine nani, nani, wahine me kahi mea ʻē aʻe i hōʻike ʻia i loko o kāna waihona - ʻo ka wahine i hana me kona mau lima i ka hana paʻakikī o ke kālai a me ka wili, nāna i hoʻohana i ke kālā mai kahi ʻaelike hoʻohālike i kūʻai i kaʻa kaʻa a huakaʻi ma ʻEulopa ma kāna iho, a ʻo ia ka mea i hele mau ma ke ala kūʻokoʻa.
Hoʻopau ka hōʻikeʻike me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kahi wahine i hahai i kahi ʻano hana noʻeau e pili pū ana me nā kāne a me nā kāne. ʻOiai ua kālai ʻo ia i kahi ʻoihana kūleʻa i kona wā e ola ana, ʻo nā pilikia o ka moʻolelo moʻolelo a me ka manaʻo o ka mākeke noʻeau i ka hana a nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne, ʻo ia ka mea i hāʻule nui kāna hana i loko o ka pouli a hiki i kēia manawa.
