Noʻu, ʻo ia ka hiki ke hoʻopau i ka manawa liʻiliʻi e hoʻokaʻawale i koʻu manaʻo ma nā ʻano hana manuahi; hiki ke hoʻolilo i ka manawa koʻikoʻi ma ke keʻena a me ka noiʻi; a hiki iaʻu ke huakaʻi e hana pēlā, inā ʻaʻole inā ʻaʻole wau i koho. He mea nani hoʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pilina curatorial lōʻihi i ka hana a kekahi ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ke kaomi implicit o ka 'huahana hopena'. Hiki ke ulu wale nā mea, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kamaʻilio hoihoi a hoʻoikaika.
ʻO Susan Hughes: Eia kekahi laʻana o nā mea he nui: i ke kauwela o 2022, ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi leka uila mai kā mākou curator Ciara Hickey, e ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻonohonoho kekahi o nā haumāna PhD i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ma ke Kulanui o Ulster i nā crits ma PS2 me Sarah Brown a me Alice.

Ua kono ʻia au e hoʻohui i nā huaʻōlelo a hoʻouna iā lākou i kahi faila hoʻonā kiʻekiʻe inā makemake wau e hoʻomau. Ua maopopo iaʻu!

ʻO Jacqueline Holt: ʻO koʻu ʻae ʻana i ka Freelands Artist Program ma PS2 i hui pū me kahi wā paʻakikī i koʻu ola pilikino, i ka wā i lilo ai ka ʻohana i mea nui. Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, hiki ke ʻike ʻia he manawa maikaʻi ʻole; akā naʻe, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kūpaʻa o ke kākoʻo ma o nā hālāwai maʻamau me ka curator PS2, ʻo Ciara Hickey, ua ʻae iaʻu e mālama a hoʻomohala i kaʻu hana i kēia manawa paʻakikī. Me kāna ʻōlelo aʻo kūpono a me kāna kākoʻo hoʻonohonoho, ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻāʻo i nā ala hou o ka hana ʻana ma o nā papa hana hoʻokolohua. ʻO nā kūkākūkā e pili ana i kēia mau manaʻo, me Ciara a me nā curators ʻē aʻe i hoʻolauna ʻia iā mākou i ka wā o ka papahana, a me koʻu mau hoa hana kiʻi PS2, he mea waiwai nui i ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana a me ka haʻi ʻana i kahi ʻano hana. Ua kōkua pū kēia i ka hōʻike ʻana i kaʻu mau manaʻo i ka poʻe kālā no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kēia hana hou.
TP: Pehea i hana ʻia ai ka papahana iā ʻoe ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi?
CS: Ua hoʻohana au i ka Polokalamu Freelands ma ke ʻano he ala e hele aku ai i ka poʻe no ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a i ʻole ke aʻo ʻana i nā manawa i makemake ai au i ka ʻike me kekahi mau papahana.

Manaʻo wau inā paha ma ka mokupuni e like me Ireland e hoʻokaʻawale i nā mea hana kiʻi mai nā pūnaewele 'artworld' ākea. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka huakaʻi i Ladana a i ʻole Berlin e like me kā mākou mau hoa pena kiʻi ma Beretania a i ʻole ʻEulopa. Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mākou mai kēia mau 'kūlana moʻomeheu' e kahi kino wai. ʻO kēia ka mea paʻakikī iā mākou ke hele i kēia mau wahi, a no nā mea pena kiʻi honua a me nā curators e komo i loko. ʻO ia ka mea, manaʻo wau kekahi o nā mea waiwai nui o ka papahana ʻo ka hoʻopili ʻana me kahi hui o nā hoa - ʻelua ma ka ʻāina i ka ʻĀkau, a me nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā hui ʻē aʻe o UK. I kēlā me kēia makahiki o ka papahana, aia kahi symposium no nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā hui āpau e hui pū ai mai UK. ʻO ka mua o kēia (no kā mākou cohort) i hana ʻia ma Belfast i Kepakemapa 2022 a mālama ʻia e PS2. ʻO ka lua ma Nowemapa 2023 ma Edinburgh a ua mālama ʻia e Talbot Rice Gallery. Ua hauʻoli loa kēlā mau hanana no ka hālāwai ʻana me nā poʻe hou a me ka ʻike ʻana i kahi ma o kahi aniani kūʻokoʻa, ma ke ʻano he 'host' a i ʻole he malihini.

Ua hoʻonui kēia nānā pono i nā kikoʻī i ka waiwai a me ka maikaʻi o ke kākoʻo hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi iā mākou - ke kōkua ʻo ia iā mākou i nā noi, ke kamaʻilio pū ʻo ia me mākou e alakaʻi ana i nā hōʻikeʻike, a ke koi ʻo ia iā mākou e hoʻoikaika iā mākou iho. ʻO nā mea a pau a mākou e makemake ai e hoʻāʻo me ka hui, kākoʻo ʻia mākou e hana, inā ʻo ia ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kahi crit a i ʻole ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, heluhelu pū ʻana i kahi kikokikona, a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo i kahi ala hoʻokolohua o ka hana like ʻana.

CS: Ke hana nei au i nā hana e pili ana i kā mākou pilina me ka manawa a me ke kaiapuni, ma o ke kani, wikiō, kākau a me nā kiʻi i pane i nā pūnaewele kikoʻī a me nā waihona. No ka laʻana, i Malaki i ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hana au me PS2 curators-in-residence Cecelia Graham a me Grace Jackson e hana i ka hana noʻeau. E holo ia ma luna oʻu (2023), ka mea i pane aku - a ua hōʻike ʻia i loko o - kahi alahele i lalo o ka wai ma Belfast's Lagan Weir. ʻO kahi hōʻikeʻike ʻē aʻe mai ka makahiki i hala, i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Breath Variations', i pane i ka hana a me nā manaʻo o ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo John Latham a ua hōʻike ʻia ma kona home a me kāna studio ma Flat Time House, Lākana.
