Fasalada meel walba ku yaal, Macalimiinta xisaabtu waxay ku booriyaan ardayda inay 'muujiyaan shaqadooda.' Dhib malahan, in aad si cad u qeexdo arrimahaaga 'shaqaynta'. Guud ahaan kala duwanaanshaha fanka muuqaalka, oo lagu soo bandhigay qayb ka mid ah Bandhig Faneedka Caalamiga ah ee Galway Julaay, go'aan ka qaadista ama muujinta 'aragitaanka' iyadoo loo eegayo hab-dhaqannada, hababka, iyo meelaha bannaan oo mideeyay bandhigyo kala duwan. In kasta oo muujinta shaqadaada xisaabta ay u adeegi karto caddaynta jawaabta, daah-furnaanta la siiyay dhagaystayaasha bandhigyadan waxay u shaqaynaysay sidii martiqaad deeqsinimo leh si ay uga qayb-gasho hab-socod cusub oo farshaxan, goobo caan ah, agabyo, iyo xoogagga aan la arki karin ee qaabeeya waaya-aragnimadeena adduunka. Halkii ay muujin lahaayeen jawaabo sugan, kuwani waxay muujinayaan su'aalo ku saabsan sida fanka muuqaalku u kicin karo ama u taageeri karo wada sheekaysiga muhiimka ah.
Bandhiga Ruby Wallis ee kali ah, 'Foori Mugdiga ah', oo uu soo diyaariyay Megs Morely oo muujinaya Xarunta Farshaxanka ee Galway illaa 20ka Agoosto, ayaa soo bandhigtay sawir qaade dhijitaal ah, filim, isku-duubni, iyo nooc-cyanotypes. Dabaqa hoose, sawir qaade iyo filim, la toogtay inta lagu guda jiro socodka habeenka xidhitaanka, ayaa lagu soo bandhigay flora iyo fauna xaafadaha ku hareeraysan oo si degdeg ah loo qabsaday, oo dib u xasuusanaysa sawir qaadistii goobta dambiyada, halka muuqaal saddex shaashad ah uu kiciyay mid kale oo yaab leh oo habeenkii habeenkii ah.
Gudaha Gallery Two, noocyada waaweyn ee cyanotypes ee Galway Arts Center ee ubaxyada saqafka Georgian ayaa iftiimiyay taariikhda booska, si la mid ah sida cinwaanka bandhiggu u lulay qoraalka Lady Augusta Gregory ee ku saabsan St Brigid. Wallis's collages 'raxan' si wadajir ah loo gooyay oo ka dhiig baxay geesaha goobta gallery iyo jaranjarada waxaa si fiican ula socday dhawaqa Mike Small ee ka kooban dumarka foorida ee Wallis ka soo xigtay Instagram. Isku soo wada duuboo, shaqada Wallis waxay iftiiminaysaa siyaabaha qarsoon ee xidhiidhkayaga qoto dheer ee aan la leenahay makhluuqa kale uu sii jiro, xitaa xilliyada kalinimada qoto dheer.
In Engage Studios, bandhig kooxeed, cinwaan looga dhigay 'Suuradaha aan dhamaadka lahayn', ayaa waxaa soo saaray Simon Fennessy Corcoran waxaana soo bandhigay shaqooyinka Vicky Smith, Brigid Mulligan, iyo Cecilia Bullo. Saddexda fannaanba waxay sahamiyaan qaab-dhismeedka dhaqanka iyo qoyska ee na qaabeeya. Silhouettes ka soo jeeda Brigi Mulligan's Chandelier ayaa qoob-ka-cayaar ku sameeyay muuqaalka muuqaalka guriga ee aabbaheed dhintay iyo noocyada cyanotypes ee hantida walaalkeed, taasoo kicinaysa xidhiidhka shucuureed ee nagu xidha. Qoyska iyo reernimada ayaa sidoo kale soo dhexgalay sawir-gacmeedyada waaweyn ee Vicky Smith kuwaas oo wajiyada ay qariyeen walxaha guriga - xaaq, bir, iyo laambad - ay ka soo muuqdeen kuwo ka soo horjeeda asalka sawirada awoowgeed. Waxaa lagu wargeliyay aragtiyaha Matrilineal, farshaxannada warbaahinta isku dhafan ee Cecilia Bullo waxay sahamiyaan waayo-aragnimadeeda nololeed ee aqoonsiga labada dhaqan iyada oo eegaysa hababka bogsashada iyo naagnimada. Fennessy Corcoran waxay samaysay go'aanka curatorial si ay u wada-shaqeeyaan walxaha bandhigga iyo wicitaanka furan ee ChatGPT.
David Mach, Qarowga Oligarch, 2023, aragtida rakibaadda, Sawirka Bandhiga Boostada; Sawirka waxaa leh Andrew Downes, sharafta fannaaniinta iyo Bandhig faneedka Caalamiga ah ee Galway.
Ku rakib meel gaar ah oo leh cod ku yaal Salthhill Promenade, cinwaankiisuna yahay Wordspace (2023) by Yvonne Farrell iyo Shelley McNamara oo ka tirsan Grafton Architects, ayaa iftiimiyay quruxda qarsoon ee sharraxaadaha James Joyce ee maalin kasta ee xeebta. Wordspace waa qaybtii u dambaysay ee Golaha Farshaxanka oo uu maalgeliyay 'Ulysses 2.2' - mashruuc socon doona muddo sannad ah oo jawaabo hal abuur leh Ulysses (Shakespeare and Company, 1922), oo ay soo bandhigtay ANU, MoLI, iyo Wax-soo-saarka Landmark si loo xuso qarnigii la daabacay. Rakibaadda waxaa hagayay Louise Lowe oo ay ka muuqatay cajalado Olwen Fouéré oo akhrinaya Proteus dhacdo.
126 Farshaxan-Run Gallery ayaa soo bandhigtay bandhig laba qof ka kooban oo ay sameeyeen Anne Marie Deacy iyo Eimear Murphy, cinwaanna looga dhigay 'Musica Universalis + Isla'egaanta Jacaylka'. Rakibaadaha yar yar ee ka qaybqaadashada ayaa lagu kordhiyey bandhigyo iyo aqoon-is-weydaarsiyo ay sameeyeen fannaaniintu. Deacy's Dhaqanka Joogtada ah (2023) waxay u ogolaatay ka qaybgalayaasha inay sahamiyaan dhawaaqa qarsoon ee soo noqnoqda AM, halka shaqada Murphy ay sahamisay qiimaha joogtada ah ee daryeelka iyada oo loo marayo isdhexgalka bini'aadamka ee aduunka dhimanaya. Sawirka sawirada, xaashida naxaasta ah iyo elektromagneetka ayaa is dulsaaray markii booqdayaashu ay dhex marayeen, halka rakibaadda Murphy ay ku martiqaaday daawadayaasha inay isticmaalaan faraha dhuxusha si ay u abuuraan xoqin iyaga u gaar ah oo ka mid ah ereyada lagu xardhay saqafyada alwaax. Bandhiggan laba geesoodka ah oo dhan, tayada agabka ayaa si hoose loo sahamiyay.
Sawirka Daabacaada, waxaa jiray laba bandhig oo kali ah: Diana Copperwhite's 'Onomatopoeia', oo uu soo saaray Aoife Ruane; iyo Lorraine Tuck's 'Habab aan Caadi ahayn', oo uu soo diyaariyay Matxafka Sawirka Ireland.
Isku-xidhka muraayadaha waaweyn ee Copperwhite, iyo muujinta hababka rinjiyeynta, waxay ahaayeen vitrines oo muujinaya sawir-gacmeedyo diyaarin ah, wada-sheekeysi muuqaal ah oo u dhexeeya farshaxan-yaqaanka iyo curator iyo inta u dhaxaysa rinjilayaasha kale. Miisaanka Copperwhite ee rinjiyeynta waxaa la mid ah miisaanka waayo-aragnimada ee ka soo baxay sawirada Tuck ee bannaanka gallery ee ku xiga, diiwaangelinta nolosha qoyska ee ASD iyo naafo maskaxeed. Aragtida dhow ee la xaday waxaa ka mid ah isku duubnida walaalka, ficilada daryeelka ama wax wada cunista, iyo dukumeentiga daawaynta iyo dharka gaarka ah ee wiilkeeda. Jacaylku wuxuu tilmaamayaa aragtidan, taas oo u oggolaanaysa maadooyinka inay muujiyaan naftooda. Si la mid ah waa run Tuck ee taxanaha sawirada wada shaqayneed ee Owen/Pink, oo ah qaraabo dareere-dheddig ah oo qaba Down Syndrome, lagu toogtay bannaanka, si cajiib ah ugu labisan dharyo iyo muuqaallo kala duwan. Bandhiga Tuck wuxuu si qurux badan uga tarjumayaa waaya-aragnimada qoyskeeda si ay u sharfaan saaxiibada maalinlaha ah ee gaarka ah ee sameeya nolol.
Sawirka hal-abuurka leh ee David Mach ee Range Rover oo qarxinaya, Qarowga Oligarch (2023), buuxiyey booska ugu muhiimsan ee An Post Festival Gallery ah, halka qolalka dhinac bandhigay maquettes of shuqullada kale-in-horumarsan, iyo sketches habayn ka dib markii sheeko garaafyada, daabacaadda alwaax, iyo muuqaalada xoolo dhaqatada la qalloocan dystopic. Sawirka qarxa ee Mach (pun loogu talagalay) wuxuu u muuqdaa inuu muujinayo tamarta qalalaasaha ee ka dhanka ah hodanka sare, awoodda totemic ee calaamadaha xaaladda, iyo sidoo kale caddaynta jilicsan ee ay u abuuraan awoodda iyo saameynta, sidaas darteed waxay ku kacayaan nooc ka mid ah iconoclasm heerka sare.
Enda Burke, Aabe Oo Kafeysanaya Qaar Ka Mida Sharaado, 2021; Lahaanshaha sawirka fanaanka iyo Bandhig faneedka Caalamiga ah ee Galway.
Gudaha 'Fur Away & Close to Home', oo uu soo diyaariyay Tom McClean oo jooga Outset Gallery, Enda Burke's saxeexa kitsch aragti sawireed ee 1980-yadii Irish guriyaynta - oo ay ka buuxaan astaamo diimeed, suuman qolof ah, iyo sigaar aad u badan - ayaa lagu kabay rakibid taxadar leh qolka fadhiga. Halkaa, shaqada fiidiyowga, Xayeysiisyadii hore (2023) waxaa qoray Dara Greaney, oo sii daayay cinwaano kala duwan oo ka yimid 'Aabbaha Michael', xayaysiisyada dukaanka hadiyadaha ee John Paul, iyo muuqaalada kaydka ee gambaleelka RTÉ's Angelus. Bandhiggani waxa uu u dabbaaldegay palimpsests-yada sii wadida nostalgia - ee tignoolajiyada sharafta leh.
Soo dhaweyn dib u furista Jaamacadda Galway Gallery ayaa soo bandhigtay bandhiga kooxda, 'Mindscapes'. Shaqooyinka la soo bandhigay waxaa loo sameeyay si looga jawaabo wada-hadallada cilmi-baarayaasha cilmi-nafsiga si ay u muujiyaan wajiyada qarsoon ee waayo-aragnimada la noolaanshaha cudurrada dhimirka iyo kala-duwanaanta neerfayaasha taasoo qayb ka ah hindisaha Shaybaarka Sayniska ee Dr Jane Conway.
Dr Lucy Elvis waa curator, qoraa iyo faylasuuf wax ka dhiga Jaamacadda Galway.
