Thomas Pool: Pehea ʻoe e wehewehe ai i kou kūlana a me kāu hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana?
Caoilfhionn Hanton: He mea pena au a he mea pena kiʻi hui like ʻole mai Waterford i puka i ke kula me ka BA (Hons) ma Visual Arts mai South East Technological University. Ua hoʻomaka kaʻu huakaʻi noʻeau ma 15, e pena ana i nā paia waho. I kēia manawa, hana nui wau i loko o ka hale me ka pena, ke kiʻi palupalu, ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me ka hana ʻana, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻia ʻana o nā hana kiʻi kiʻi alanui ākea ma mua o ka wā ma mua, i hoʻopilikino ʻia i kaʻu mea e makemake ai e hana a mālama ʻia no ka wā pono maoli.
Ua ʻike mua wau i nā kumu hana kiʻi alanui ma o ka ʻike hana kula kiʻekiʻe me ka mea pena ʻo Dublin ʻo Steve Kemp. Ua kōkua a aʻo mai au mai nā mea pena kiʻi i nā makahiki – i nā makahiki he umi i hala iho nei, ua hana pū au me nā mea pena kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ʻia a me ke alanui, e like me Waterford Walls a me Belfast's Hit the North. Ua hoʻopau au i nā komisina he nui, hoʻokipa i nā papa haʻawina a hoʻokumu i nā pilina waiwai a me nā hoaaloha i loko o ke kaiāulu noʻeau o ʻIlelani.
Ua hoʻonui kaʻu hana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. I ka makahiki 25, ke hoʻoikaika nei au i kēia manawa e hoʻohālikelike i koʻu ʻike loea, ʻono a me ka pae mākaukau me nā papahana e pili ana i kaʻu mau makemake, me ka ʻole o kā lākou hoʻopuka kālā.
Hoʻokumu pū wau i nā kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi alanui me nā mea hoʻolaha palaoa. I ka makahiki i hala aku nei koʻu mau hoa ʻo Rhys, ʻo Erika a me mākou i nā kolapala palaoa a me nā paʻi ʻokiʻoki ʻia aʻu i hana ai no mākou i nā lole eccentric mai kahi papahana hana alanui i hana ʻia i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Blaasification' ma nā alanui a puni ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Waterford. Ke ulu nei ka hana me ka palaho kaiapuni; he hiʻohiʻona leʻaleʻa e launa pū ʻia a wehe ʻia paha. ʻO kēia ala wikiwiki a liʻiliʻi e hiki ai ke hōʻike wikiwiki a hopena. Ua hauʻoli loa kēlā papahana, e hoʻoikaika ana iaʻu e noi iā Creative Waterford/Ireland a mahalo i ka hāʻawi ʻia ʻana i kekahi kālā no ka 'Blaasification' kahi i hana ai mākou me nā keiki a me nā ʻōpio i kahi ʻano o nā haʻawina manuahi manuahi, e hoʻopau ana i kahi kiʻi paʻi 'blaasified'. .
TP: Ua wehewehe ʻoe i kāu hana i ka nānā ʻana i ka "moʻolelo moʻolelo kikohoʻe, ka anthropology aloha a me nā wahi i mālama ʻia o ka manaʻo ponoʻī" - hiki iā ʻoe ke wehewehe i kēlā no mākou?
CH: Manaʻo wau he lōʻihi paha ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana, akā he hoʻāʻo ia e wehewehe i nā hiʻohiʻona pono o ke ola aʻu i hānau ai a ke noiʻi ʻia nei au ma o nā ala like ʻole. ʻO kēia nā kumuhana aʻu i manaʻo ai ke ola nei mākou, a no kaʻu hōʻike kiʻekiʻe i hala aku nei ua ʻimi au i ka ontology o ka wā kamaliʻi maʻamau-online a hiki i ke keiki makua ma muli o ka neoliberalism. ʻO ka noho ʻana i kou ola holoʻokoʻa me ka ʻenehana kaiapili ma kou mau lima e like me ka nānā ʻana i ka poʻe, e nānā ana i waho o kahi hale gilded o ka nichification pau ʻole, hoʻonui a me ka dopamine digital addiction.
ʻO ka noiʻi ʻana i ka dissonance cognitive o ka ulu ʻana i ka wā 'Post-Internet' e like me ke kipa ʻana i kahi purgatory metaphysical. Ma kahi ma waena o ka 'IRL' a me ka 'URL', ʻo koʻu wā ʻōpio i mālama ʻia i nā pika ke ola a ʻike ʻia. I kēia manawa, ma ke ʻano he kanaka makua, ʻike wau i ke koʻikoʻi o ka 'pāʻani' ma mua o kēia manawa.
No ka 'anthropology aloha'; Ua hāpai au i kēia wehewehe ʻana mai kā Richard Brody's New York loiloi o Agnes Varda kiʻiʻoniʻoni 1975 Daguerreotypes. Nui ko'u makemake i ka hana ho'ohālike a me ka mo'olelo a me ka mo'olelo i ho'okumu 'ia i ke kanaka maoli a 'o ia ka'u mea e mana'o ai; ʻo ia ma ke ʻano o ka pena pena, TikTok-ified performance, a i ʻole gonzo journalism ma ke alanui. ʻO ka poʻe, ka maka a me ka maoli i ko lākou ʻano kūlohelohe a i hoʻololi ʻole ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia, ʻo ia ka mea hoihoi loa i ka honua iaʻu.
TP: Pehea kou ʻano 'Gen Z' i wehewehe ai iā ʻoe iho i kāu hana i kēia manawa?
CH: He nīnau maikaʻi kēlā a ke hoʻoikaika nei au iaʻu iho. Manaʻo wau e hoʻopili wau iaʻu iho me kaʻu mau hoa, ʻaʻole wale ma ka ʻōlelo kaʻana like o ka memetics accelerated, etymology and humor, akā ma ke ʻano politika kekahi.
Iaʻu, ʻo ia ʻo Gen Z, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻike ʻole wau i nā kula holoʻokoʻa o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana ma o ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka pāpaʻi pūnaewele paʻakikī. ʻO ka hele ʻana mai i nā microinfluencers ma Instagram alakaʻi iaʻu i ka mea kākau ʻo Mark Fisher a me kāna puke Nā ʻUhane o Kuʻu Ola (Zero Books, 2014), a hoʻokumu i ka nui o kaʻu thesis ma luna o nā manaʻo o Hauntology. Ua ʻike au i ka hana a Jamian Juliani Villani mai kāna hoʻolaha meme mau. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka hana wikiō a Ryan Trecartin ma TikTok. ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā mea hoʻonaʻauao e kōkua i ka naʻauao a me ka legitimize i kēia mau ʻike kanaka ma o ka kikokikona a me nā kiʻi ʻike ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
ʻOiai he kī nui ka ʻakaʻaka iaʻu, ʻo ka hele ʻana mai i nā poʻe moʻomeheu moʻomeheu e ʻimi ana i ke kumu e hoʻopiha piha ai au a me koʻu mau hoa i ko mākou ola me ka 'tat' cyclical i hōʻike ʻia e mākou, ua hōʻike nui i kaʻu ʻōlelo ʻike a hoʻomaikaʻi i koʻu ʻike i kaʻu mea e makemake ai. hana.
Hoʻopili mākou, hoʻololi a kuha aku i ka moʻomeheu palahalaha i hānai ʻia iā mākou. Ua kākau au i kaʻu thesis i ka makahiki i hala ma ke ʻano o nā mea pena 'Post-Internet', e like me Hito Steyerl, Joshua Citarella a me Jon Rafman; e noiʻi ana pehea lākou i hoʻohana ai i ka 'ʻenehana no ka hoʻopili ʻana a me ka waihona ʻana i ka ʻili o ka 'Poor Image' kikohoʻe ephemera.'
ʻO Gen Z, iaʻu, hōʻike i ka lens pilikino e ʻike nei koʻu hanauna i ka honua. Ua ulu mākou ma ka pūnaewele, me ka manaʻolana a me ka makaʻu i nā mea e hiki mai ana, me ka manaʻo ʻo mākou ka poʻe pallbearers e hiki mai ana, a me nā kahu mālama, o ka honua a me kekahi.
TP: Ua hana pū ʻoe me ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Adam Doyle, i kapa ʻia ʻo Spicebag, e hana i kahi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi o Ka Kipaku, he ʻāpana i ʻohi i ka manaʻo o ka ʻāina (me kahi kolamu āna i kākau ai no ka pukana VAN Mei-Iune 2023). Manaʻo paha ʻoe he kuleana ko ka poʻe kiʻi alanui, ma muli o ka ʻike kiʻekiʻe o kā lākou hana, e hana i ka "kiʻi kālai'āina", e like me ka mea i kaulana loa?
CH: ʻAʻohe oʻu manaʻo he kuleana ko nā mea pena kiʻi e hiki ke ʻike ʻia e ka lehulehu e hana i kekahi ʻano hana pololei. ʻO ka hōʻike noʻeau o nā mea hana kiʻi alanui, e like me nā ʻano mea pena ʻē aʻe, he ʻano pilikino a pilikino. Pono nā mea pena kiʻi e hoʻomau i ke koho ʻana i nā kumumanaʻo e pili ana i kā lākou makemake, kuanaʻike, a me nā ʻike. Hiki maikaʻi ka hana 'hoʻoikaika politika', e kaʻana like ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole e kau ʻia ma ka pā. Hauʻoli wau i ka hoʻohana ʻana o kekahi mau mea pena alanui e like me Emmalene Blake/ESTR i kā lākou mau kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi a me ke kahua ma ke ʻano he kaʻa e hoʻoponopono ai i nā pilikia pilikanaka a i ʻole politika. He mea kupanaha a nui loa. ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka hoʻoholo ʻana e komo i ka hana hoʻoikaika ma o ke kiʻi ma ke ʻano nui, me ka waiho ʻana i nā hōʻailona kino ma nā paia, he mea pilikino.
Makemake au e hana pū me Adam e hana hou Ka Kipaku. ʻO ia ka papahana hoʻokō a i ʻole 'komikina' aʻu i hana ai i kēia manawa, a e hana maoli wau me nā mea hoʻolālā e makemake e unuhi i kā lākou hana akamai i kūkulu ʻia ma nā paia i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Ua hahai mākou i kekahi i kekahi ma Instagram no kekahi mau makahiki a hiki koke mai ia a me ke kino, i kūpono i koʻu wikiwiki.
ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea Ka Kipaku e iho i lalo; ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole ma ke kino. Ua kauoha au i ka mea, hāpai hoʻolimalima a paʻa ka pā. Ua hauʻoli wau e hana i kēlā me kēia ʻano. Pono ʻo ʻAdamu e pena koke ʻia kēlā ʻāpana, a no ka mea ʻo ia ka mea hou i kāna nīnauele i kēia pō. He papahana hoihoi nō hoʻi ia e hana ai no ka mea, ʻaʻole ia naʻu hana ponoʻī. Ua ʻike wau hiki iaʻu ke nānā pono i ke kaʻina hana pena me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa liʻiliʻi e hele mai me kāu haku ponoʻī.
ʻO ka pena ʻana i loko o kaʻu keena he hana pilikino, akā, e hoʻi ana i ka 'antropology aloha', ʻo ia ka hana o ka pena kiʻi ma ka lehulehu a me ka launa pū ʻana me nā malihini e mālama mau iaʻu e pena hou i nā kiʻi kiʻi. Hāʻawi mau ka poʻe ma ka honua i nā manamana lima, hoʻomaikaʻi, a hāʻawi mai iaʻu i ka kofe a i ʻole ka pint. E nīnau mai kekahi poʻe (nā kāne mau) inā ua pena au i ka ʻāpana aʻu i kū maoli ai ma ka ʻaoʻao, e kau ana ma luna o lākou i kaʻu ʻohi cherry. Makemake au i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke ʻano o ka noʻonoʻo no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, a ke hana nei au i ka mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻāʻo i koʻu lima i nā 'hanana' kiʻi kiʻi piha i ka vaudeville Jim Dine, Yves Klein a me Niki de Saint Phalle.
TP: Ke ʻimi nei ka Public Art Mural Bill i kēia manawa ma mua o The Dáil e ʻae i nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā mea nona nā waiwai e hana i nā kiʻi kiʻi me ka ʻole o ka ʻae ʻia mai nā ʻaha kūkā kūloko. Ma hea ʻoe e kū ai ma kēia bila, a pehea kou manaʻo e pili ana ia i nā hana kiʻi alanui inā e hoʻoholo ʻia?
CH: Aloha au i keia hoololi kanawai. Ua hauʻoli wau i ka hoʻomohala ʻia ʻana o ka Bila, ʻo ka mea hope loa e pono ai nā mea pena, ke hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻoulu i kekahi ʻano moʻomeheu organik i nā kūlanakauhale paʻakikī e noho ai, e lawe ʻia i ka ʻaha no ka hana kupanaha. Aloha au iā Dublin, akā ʻike mākou a pau i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kona ʻuhane noʻeau ua nīnau pono ʻia.
Ke lana nei koʻu manaʻo e piʻi aʻe ka noʻonoʻo, ka maikaʻi a me ka hōʻike ʻana i ka hana i hiki i ka lehulehu ke piʻi nui me ka hala ʻana o kēia Bila. Ua hālāwai au i nā mea pā hale a me nā malihini ma ke alanui e kākoʻo a hilinaʻi i ka mea pena e hana i kā lākou hana, a he mau mea kūʻai ʻole a i ʻole nā hui hoʻomalu i makemake ʻole i kahi mea hoihoi i kā lākou canvases nani.
ʻOiai wau i puka i ke kula a manaʻolana e pena pinepine, ʻaʻole au i ʻimi i ka ʻae ʻaha kūkā kalana no kahi ʻāpana iaʻu iho. Ua manaʻo mau wau makemake wau e pena i kahi ʻāpana nani e ola ana no ka lōʻihi o kona ola ʻana, a noi aku e kala ʻia ma mua o ka ʻae ʻia.
Me ka ʻae ʻana i nā ʻāpana hana akamai, hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo i kēia Bila e hoʻomaha loa i ke kaʻina hana no nā mea pena kiʻi e hoʻolaha i nā hana 'ʻano'ē aʻe i hana ʻia me ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. He hana hou, lapuwale, hōʻoluʻolu, ʻano ʻē a paʻa maoli nō hoʻi, a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka pōʻaiapili o nā wahi ākea. Makemake au i ka hana pena a me ka waiwai o ka mea e hiki mai ana e like me ke kumuhana a me ke koho manaʻo. Makemake au inā loaʻa nā alanui ma ʻIlani, kuaʻāina a me ka cosmopolitan, nā hana hoʻokolohua nani e like me ka loaʻa ʻana i loko o kahi hale kiʻi.
TP: Aia kekahi mau papahana hou āu e hana nei i hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi mai iā mākou?
CH: Mai ko'u puka 'ana i ka mahina o Iune, ua luulu au ia'u iho i ka hana hermit creative a me ka hoonui i ka'u hana e hiki mai ana.
Nui nā kaha kiʻi, kiʻi kiʻi, kiʻi pena, hoʻolālā i nā hana lehulehu, nā hana ola a me nā hana hui no ka makahiki e hiki mai ana. Ke hoʻāʻo nei e ʻoki i ka leo pili ʻole a paʻa i ka manaʻolana, manaʻo wau aia wau iā Hito Steyerl ma kekahi poʻohiwi a ʻo Trisha Paytas ma kekahi. Hoʻokahi kapuaʻi i loko o ka pōʻeleʻele a ʻo kekahi i loko o kahi huila Hello Kitty.
Laki wau i ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka hapa nui o nā lā i loko o kaʻu keena ʻoluʻolu ma Garter Lane. I kēia manawa, hōʻike ʻia kekahi o kaʻu mau kiʻi palupalu ma Waterford's Gallery of Modern Art Members Show, a i kēia Autumn ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi komisina puka mai ka Waterford Gallery of Art no kā lākou hōʻiliʻili mau. Aia kaʻu 'Malibu/Dooleys' diptych i kā lākou mālama, me kahi kiʻi kiʻi kupanaha oʻu e ka Una Sealy maikaʻi. Aloha au i nā manawa maikaʻi a pau i loko o koʻu ola a hauʻoli nui wau no 2024.
ʻO Caoilfhionn Hanton he mea pena kiʻi multi-disciplinary i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Waterford a he lālā o Garter Lane Studios.
