商品描述

This book mines the space where aesthetic expression meets lived experience for Irish artists Rita Duffy, Mairéad McClean, Paula McFetridge and Ursula Burke. Portrait essays woven with photographs, document each artist's coming of age in Ireland and Northern Ireland, in the context of her emerging practice. As individuals, their work considers infringements on human rights, systemic violence, gender roles and the negotiation of figurative and literal borders and boundaries. Together, they interrogate past and present conflict and emergence from conflict, locally and globally. Their critical work is threaded with hope in the context of past and present political fragmentation. Works considered include Rita Duffy's paintings, drawings and animation like Siege, The Emperor Has No Clothes and Anatomy of Hope; Mairéad McClean's films No More, Broadcast and Making Her Mark; Paula McFetridge's productions like convictions, staged at the Crumlin Road Courthouse, This is What We Sang, performed at the Belfast Synagogue and Belfast Quartered, A Love Story, a promenade through Belfast's LGBTQ+ underground; and Ursula Burke's sculptures like Bonfire, Blue Sphinx and Peach Caryatid, and embroidery like The Politicians Frieze.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了愛爾蘭藝術家 Rita Duffy、Mairéad McClean、Paula McFetridge 和 Ursula Burke 在美學表達與生活經驗交匯的空間。透過與照片交織的肖像散文,記錄了每位藝術家在愛爾蘭和北愛爾蘭成長的過程,並置於她們新興實踐的背景下。作為個體,她們的作品考量了人權侵犯、系統性暴力、性別角色以及對比喻和字面邊界的協商。她們共同質疑過去與現在的衝突,以及從衝突中重生的過程,無論是在地方還是全球層面。她們的批判性作品在過去與現在的政治分裂背景下,充滿了希望。所考量的作品包括 Rita Duffy 的繪畫、素描和動畫,如《Siege》、《The Emperor Has No Clothes》和《Anatomy of Hope》;Mairéad McClean 的電影《No More, Broadcast》和《Making Her Mark》;Paula McFetridge 的作品,如在 Crumlin Road Courthouse 上演的《convictions》、在貝爾法斯特猶太教堂演出的《This is What We Sang》以及穿越貝爾法斯特 LGBTQ+ 地下文化的《Belfast Quartered, A Love Story》;以及 Ursula Burke 的雕塑,如《Bonfire》、《Blue Sphinx》和《Peach Caryatid》,以及刺繡作品《The Politicians Frieze》。
