126 Artist Talk | Aaron Lawless
Thursday 22nd August 2013 | 7pm
126 presents its ongoing series of Artists talks that aim to encourage critical conversations about contemporary art practice in Ireland. Artist Aaron Lawless will discuss the development of his artistic practice along with a presentation of a selection of his works.
Aaron Lawless' works are playful experiments of authorship and authority.
Using the urban environment as an entry in which to engage with the individual. His works are transitional objects that cross reference components of the every day,
giving them new meaning and new use. Lawless' practice involves recycling leftover found materials into startling arrangements, exhibited as installations or as sculptural entities. Often guided by YouTube tutorials and DIY instruction manuals, his constructions rarely hold an allusion to high art, rather that he sees them as makeshift solutions made with the resources at hand…. Drawing on the viewer’s personal relationship with the objects, in their new and old forms. Activating the viewer and blurring lines of participation. Or maybe just asking “sure, what is the use?”
As a contemporary art practitioner engaging in aspects of both improvisation and frugality, specialising in making performances and installations in public spaces, Lawless has been invited to work with local environmental group Transition Galway. During this talk, Aaron will give an introduction and background to his series of work todate, as they playfully related to ideas of exchange and economy, whilst opening up a discussion on the possibilities of activating a new cultural and creative context working within Transition Galway.
Selected Works:
2013 Culture Night Lawless will present a series of musical instruments in ‘Visual’ Carlow, made of recycled and found material located around the Carlow area. These forms will be used in a public event with local musicians.

Call It What You Will is a lens-based exhibition that includes installation, sound, video, photography and camera obscura.
Overarching themes such as memory, place and narrative are permeated by an underlining presence of spirit, body and voice that resonates throughout the work.

WORDS ARE MY INSPIRATION
LSAD 3rd Year Painters
Opening 7pm, Thursday, May 9th
Exhibition: 10th - 14th May
Gallery Open: 12 - 5pm
Opening Speaker: Tracy Fahey
Limerick
School of Art and Design invite you to an exhibition with a difference.
Third year fine art painting students present W.A.M.I. (Words Are My
Inspiration), a collection of contemporary artworks. This exhibition is a
collaboration of painting, installation, sculpture, video and sound
inspired by text. This show looks at the space between the written word
and visual art.
Consistently
the most remarkable research happens in the intersection between
disciplines; where two traditions collide; where two different sets of
theories can be cross-applied, yielding new and exciting results. Words Are My Inspiration (W.A.M.I.) offers the viewer the interesting and often unpredictable results of interrogating text through practice-led enquiry.
The show takes a wide interpretation of what constitutes text – it is not confined to the privileged discourse of literature. Although some artists work successfully within the literary canon, others have sought inspiration in text taken from food diaries, record sleeves, cinema stubs, nursery poems and journals of family history.
The exhibition illustrates the power of text to inspire and illuminate fine art practice, and the power of this fine art practice to create a new line of enquiry into the motivation, thought and theories behind the texts chosen. Whether interrogating post-modern theory, exploring gender fluidity or simulating dyslexic possibilities inherent in a single word, W.A.M.I . shows us some of the possibilities that arises when two disciplines intersect – producing work that stimulates, provokes and excites.

Preview: 8pm Thursday 11 April, with opening night performance
Exhibition runs 12 – 15 April 2013
Open 12 – 5 pm
The
show links sculpture, video, performance and silhouette images, all
around Moby Strets, Casey’s alter ego. Moby questions inefficiency
and futility, characteristics found in many aspects of contemporary
living.
The
video piece in the show is part of an ongoing larger work in the form
of a surreal short video film featuring Strets.
