Ke Keʻena Art Ards, 5 - 14 ʻAukake
'Hoʻokalakupua ʻAʻole holo ʻo Peninsula 'e like me ka hōʻike curated no ka mea ʻaʻole ia hoʻokahi. Ke haʻi nei akā he mea maʻalahi paha e kuhikuhi, no ka mea ʻaʻole pono ka hōʻike ʻana i ka mea o kēia hōʻiliʻili o ka hana. ʻO 'Creative Peninsula' kahi hōʻike makahiki e Ards a me North Down kūloko mana, kahi premise e hōʻike maʻalahi i nā mea hana kiʻi a me nā mea hana i loko o ia wahi. A ʻo kahi hopena, he ʻano ʻokoʻa ka hana i loko ona i ka nānā nui ʻana, ka pāpāho a me ka ʻoʻoleʻa. Eia nō naʻe, e like me ka mea i ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā hanana like ākea - nā hōʻikeʻike hui studio, ʻo kahi laʻana, a i ʻole nā hōʻike haumāna o ka makahiki hope - ʻaʻole lawa nā hana hui ʻana ma ka hōʻike honua wale nō e hana i kahi mea i ʻoi aku ka nui o kāna ʻāpana. No laila ʻo 'Creative Peninsula' kahi hōʻiliʻili hoʻokaʻawale o nā leo solo ma mua o kahi hōʻike cohesive.
Hiki i ke ana kahua kahua ke nānā ʻia ma ke ʻano he ala maikaʻi e lawe ai i kahi ana wela o ka wahi, a nānā paha i ka hopena o kekahi wahi i ka poʻe e hana ana i loko. Me nā poʻe a pau e hana ana mai ka Ards a me North Down, maopopo leʻa ka hopena ikaika o ka ʻāina kūlohelohe, kahakai. ʻO nā paleti kula kiʻekiʻe, nā ʻano meaola, nā hiʻohiʻona kahakai a me nā holoholona hihiu e laha i kēia ʻano kiʻi pena, kiʻi kiʻi, hana lima, nā mele, nā mea hoʻonaninani a me nā mea lako.
Wehe ʻia ka hōʻike me kahi koho o nā hana i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma muli o ke kai, i kū i ka ulana lole, hana paʻi, kiʻi kiʻi a me ka pena. Ka pena kiʻi a Andrew Haire ʻO Gígjökull, ʻoiai ʻaʻole e kuhikuhi pono ana i ke kahakai kūloko, kūpono i kēia ʻāpana. ʻO kēia hana i kahi ala iki kuʻuna i ke kumuhana, me nā papa mānoanoa o ka pena a me nā flecks melemele e hāʻawi nei i ka kahakai kahakai i kahi muggy, ʻano momona. He ʻano like kona me Cecilia Stephens's ʻO nā mea holoholo wiwo ʻole, kahi kiʻi lole o ka ʻāina me kahi ʻano like murky, i hana ʻia i nā papa o ka ulana. ʻO Rosy Ennis's Phytoplankton ʻOkoʻa ka paʻi paʻi monochrome, e hoʻomanaʻo nei i kahi kiʻi i loko o kahi puke biology kahiko o kahi ʻike i ke ola microscopic.
I loko o kahi hōʻike i hoʻokumu nui ʻia i ka hana maʻalahi a me nā hana kuʻuna, nā hana pālolo a Patricia Miller Puʻupuʻu ʻo Bogland, ʻO Victoria Bentham's Locus Amoenis a me Alan McCluney's Trio o nā moku kū i waho ʻoiai ka ikaika o kā lākou meaola, nā hui kala kala kuʻi hohonu a me nā hoʻohālikelike kikokikona lahilahi. ʻOiai ke kumu hoʻomaka ke ʻano o ka moku, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kālai ʻana ma mua o ka utilitarian.
I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, kā Sally Houston kiʻi kālai Ka mea a mākou e lohe ai lawe i kahi mea i loaʻa i kahi mea i loaʻa i ka waena, e hoʻohana ana i nā shards o nā ipu kī i wāwahi ʻia e ninini ʻia i loko o ka pepeiao o kahi poʻo poʻo keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka manaʻo o ka ʻāpana e like me ke kiʻi kino no ka wā e hiki mai ana, ka hana i hoʻoholo piha ʻia, kēia ala e hana ai - me ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea i loaʻa a me nā mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia - e ʻae ai ka hana e pili ana i kahi mea i hele ʻole ma kahi o ke keʻena ʻoihana forensic. ʻO Owen Crawford's Loaʻa ʻo Manu i ka manu ʻo ia kekahi hiʻohiʻona o kēia: he manu maʻalahi, maʻalahi i kālai ʻia i hana ʻia me ka lāʻau ʻeleʻele, i kū ʻia i kahi paukū i uhi ʻia i ka popo i loaʻa i ka pōhaku i ʻike ʻia. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai loko a hāʻawi ʻia i kahi mea e wili kūʻē ai, hana kēia ala i ke kūpikipiki a hoʻokaʻawale i ka hana mai nā manaʻo maʻamau o ka hana a me kāna wahi kūloko.
I kēia hōʻiliʻili nui, nā hana e hōʻike i ka hoʻokolohua a me nā mea i kiʻi ʻole ʻia e kiʻi i ka nānā. Eia nō naʻe, nui a hewahewa ka hiamoe ʻana e hōʻike ʻia. ʻO ka ikehu frenetic i ʻO Hare kiaʻi, kahi pena lanahu a ʻElaine Burke, kahi ʻano o ko ka holoholona ʻano pīhoihoi, ʻoiai ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka spectrum, ʻo Lee Boyd's Lilo ʻo Moonlight iā ʻoe he kikoʻī, hāʻawi akamai ʻia i ke kiʻi penikala anthropomorphic. ʻO Dennis Healey's Ke Ana Hoʻohālike / ʻulaʻula ma ka Blue, ke hōʻike mua ʻia nei he hana abstract wale nō, hōʻike lohi i nā ʻano kanaka ma o ʻeono mau paʻi paʻi ʻulaʻula a me ka polū. ʻO Craig Jefferson kā ʻO ke ola ʻo Camel a me aniani hana i kahi ala like; me ka pena aila kāwili ʻia i noi ʻia, hoʻohana ka mea pena i ke kumuhana tangentially, e kia ana i ka haku mele a me ke kala ʻoiai ke hōʻike mālie nei ke ʻano o nā kiʻi ʻano ʻole iā ia iho i ka mea nānā.
ʻO 'Creative Peninsula' kahi hōʻike hoʻohuihui o nā mea pena kiʻi ʻoihana a ʻo kēlā mau mea e hoʻomaka nei i kā lākou hana hana. ʻAʻohe mea hewa iki me kēia, ke hāʻawi nui ʻia nei ke kumu o ka hōʻike, akā ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa e pōmaikaʻi paha ka hōʻike mai kahi kaʻina koho koho kikoʻī, kahi kumumanaʻo e noʻonoʻo ai, a i ʻole ma kahi liʻiliʻi o ka lumi hōʻike nui. Aia he 59 mau ʻāpana i kahi e ʻoluʻolu e hale i ka hapakolu o kēia helu. ʻO ka hopena ka nele o kahi lumi hanu no kēlā me kēia hana. He paʻakikī hoʻi e loaʻa kahi manaʻo maikaʻi o ka mea ma laila, me ka mea ʻole e pani ai i kēlā me kēia mea pena kiʻi akā he papa inoa o nā inoa, nā inoa a me nā kumukūʻai. Eia kekahi, ke hōʻike nei i kekahi mau mea pena kiʻi e hana nei i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, hoʻokomo, paʻi kiʻi, hana ʻana a i ʻole nā pāpaho uila ma waena o kēia wahi inā ua hoʻohui ʻia i ka hōʻike. Maliʻa paha he mea maʻalahi ka hōʻino ʻana i ka hōʻike no ka mālama ʻole ʻia o ka papa a haʻalele i ke kumu o kēia ʻano hōʻike. Eia nō naʻe, i mea e hana ai me ka mea e hōʻike ʻia ana a ʻaʻole kūʻē iā ia, maopopo leʻa e pono ana kēlā mau waiwai mālama.
ʻO Dorothy Hunter kahi mea pena a me kahi mea kākau i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Belfast.
