Chairman’s Welcome What a decade it’s been. Over the last ten years, we’ve lost ourselves in a wonder of artistic and literary talent from around the world.

4 welcome

Tides have come and gone and through many changes, the thing that never ceases to surprise me is the extraordinary generosity of the people of Kinsale. The volunteers, the business owners and the Festival Friends who open their hearts – and their homes – to us, we couldn’t have done it without you, so we hope you’ll celebrate with us this year.

Thanks also to our core funders and sponsors who have given so generously over the years, and to all the festival alumni - the acts, artists, thinkers, dancers, dreamers and of course the festival teams who have brought the whole thing to great heights each year. If you had asked me ten years ago if we would still be going in 2014, I don’t know how I would have answered. Perhaps you need a talent for fantasy to embark on such an undertaking. But it’s such a pleasure to show off our town to the world. Kinsale is one of the most beautiful places to live in Ireland, and the hospitality is second to none – so come and join us, it’s going to be an unforgettable birthday. Mareta Doyle Chairman

Be Our Friend To everyone who donated this year, we cannot thank you enough. Our friends, business friends, sponsors and patrons are the backbone of our existence, and without your continued support, we couldn’t do what we do. kinsaleartsfestival.com

The festival is celebrating 10 years and to mark this, we’re offering exclusive Anniversary Circle benefits, including an exclusive drinks reception at sea on opening night. It’s not too late.

Sign up to our Friends Scheme today to join us, and receive an array of exclusive news, discounts, special offers and much more, with the knowledge that your generosity is supporting one of Ireland’s most vibrant and forward thinking festivals. Whether an individual or a business, there is a Friendship full of benefits to suit you, with schemes starting from just €150. Call us on 021 4700010 for further details or visit our website kinsaleartsfestival.com/friends and sign up today.

The arts fire our imaginations, offering us strange, often intangible insights into the world we live in.

Kinsale Arts Festival has always explored its rich history, locality and landmarks as a distinctive context for making and presenting artistic work. In marking ten years, we are delighted to announce an exciting series of commissioned new works and international premieres from leading Irish and international artists, unfolding across the town. It’s our most ambitious programme to date. Taking place in the new month of September, the 2014 festival will see installations at both Charles Fort and James Fort, a gallery built from shipping containers and an underwater sculpture in the harbour itself.

We are delighted to be working with Heather and Ivan Morison, Daphne Wright and Something and Son on brand new commissions and hosting a solo show of recent works by Kathy Prendergast at The Mill. We’re presenting several international premieres including new work by Mel Brimfield, Ruth Lyons, The Domestic Godless and theatre company Corcadorca, who will present their first large scale show in six years late night at the iconic Graepel Metal Perforation Factory. We’re proud to be bringing so many of these exciting artists to Ireland for the first time. A festival about place must also be a festival about people, and several of our big projects have community collaboration and engagement at their heart. Join us in celebrating this landmark year and toasting our future adventures. Marie McPartlin Festival Director

‘A sense of temporary magic.’ The Telegraph

Heather and Ivan Morison You Are Lost James Fort

Friday 19 September From 8pm 20–28 September (24 hours) Free You Are Lost announces itself in flames: a beacon to guide the boats home; to pass the news; signal for help. A fire set deliberately: a celebration; an invasion; the fort has been captured; something has finished and something has begun. The flames die down, the ashes settle, only the ruins remain, and in them a message of hope; for after the darkest day always comes the dawn. You were lost, but now you can’t be, you are right here, now, ready to begin again.

Renowned for their extraordinary one-off happenings and large-scale sculptural installations, Heather and Ivan’s work is created from narratives that contain their signature style of historical facts and fiction drawn from science fiction and the natural world. They have exhibited widely including Tate Britain, Tate Modern, The Barbican and the 52nd Venice Biennale, where they represented Wales. Recent shows include Anna, The Hepworth Gallery 2012; Sleepers Aware, Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney and recent work in Oslo, Unity of Will a permanent work commissioned by Situations for Bjorvika, Oslo 2016.

Ten oak letters ignite the skyline at James Fort.

Commissioned by Kinsale Arts Festival

Showing in Ireland for the first time with a new commission for Kinsale Arts Festival, this installation from Heather and Ivan Morison will announce the opening of the 2014 festival in spectacular fashion, with the ruins remaining at the fort for the duration.

Originally developed for the N34 Kunstroute, Drenthe.

Evelyn

Evelyn, a bust of an elderly woman, is a brand new commission for Kinsale Arts Festival, made specifically for the seventeenth century heritage site. Cast from life, the work possesses a quiet exactitude, unsettling precisely because on one level, much of Wright’s work fits within a long western tradition of making and of figuration. The commitment to craftsmanship is at once seductive and reassuring, but, as with much of Wright’s practice, appearance is undermined by distance and slippage, revealing the fragility of meaning and naming. Wright sees Evelyn as a kind of sentinel or witness of a very ordinary kind. She has the constancy of a person that has been battered by the everyday world but manages to persist, to continue. The piece takes on an even greater poignancy at Charles Fort; a stronghold out on the edge of the bay, a place built to repel the outside world, a political place, now dead in the context of contemporary politics. Commissioned by Kinsale Arts Festival

‘Unusually gifted’

I know what it’s like

The second work, I know what it’s like, is a powerful video projection, a haunting evocation of memory, heartache and isolation. An elderly woman gives a startling performance of six disrupted statements to camera exploring social taboos such as breastfeeding, sexuality, aging and parental coldness. The piece evolved through the artist’s research into the representation of motherhood, guilt, love and vengeance in literature, theatre and art. Commissioned for Garden of Reason, Ham House, 2012 as part of Trust New Art.

Born in Ireland in 1963, Wright has had numerous solo exhibitions including Quad, Derby; Limerick City Art Gallery; Frith Street Gallery, London; New Art Centre Sculpture Park and Gallery, Roche Court, Wiltshire and Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin.

Mel Brimfield Curated by Marie McPartlin The Containers, Pier Road

19–28 September 10–6pm (9pm close 19 September) Free 10 visual arts ‘There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened. There are things I remember which may never have happened but as I recall them so they take place…’ Old Times, (1971) Harold Pinter Quantum Foam is the first solo exhibition in the Republic of Ireland by artist Mel Brimfield. Operating at the intersection of live art, theatre and film, Brimfield’s practice takes a skewed and tangled romp through the already vexed historiography of performance. In this series of film installations for Kinsale Arts Festival, the gallery is posited as a stage, with projection screens standing in for actors engaged in broken cyclical Beckettian dialogues.

kinsaleartsfestival.com

The exhibition includes the international premiere of the title work Quantum Foam, which takes Harold Pinter’s recurring milieu of choice, the isolated room, as a key reference point. The piece contrives to articulate the gallery space as a hotly contested mutable territory. Delivered by a virtuoso solo performer, multiple realities are verbally conjured and systematically dismantled at a dizzying rate of knots by an array of characters. Menacing claustrophobia gives way to an almost choral swathe of voices as the lonely artwork laments its abandonment by the artist who created it.

Born in 1976, Mel Brimfield lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions include Void Gallery, Derry (2014), John Hansard Gallery, Southampton (2013), Ceri Hand Gallery, London (2012); Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield and Mead Gallery, Warwick (2011) and Camden Art Centre, London (2010). Presented by Kinsale Arts Festival in association with Wexford Arts Centre, The Luan, Galway Arts Centre and The Lab, Dublin, Quantum Foam is a retrospective of the artist’s work, touring nationally. Each gallery will present an original series of existing works. The Luan, Athlone 19 October – 9 January Wexford Arts Centre 20–22 November Galway Arts Centre 5 December – 17 January The Lab, Dublin Screening & Discussion – 11 December

‘One of 2011’s most dynamic social design projects’

Something and Son The Sweat Oratory Charles Fort Walk

19–28 September, 10–6pm Entry every 30min (arrive 10min before) €4 per person / €10 for a private 30min session (up to four people) Designed by London practice Something and Son, The Sweat Oratory is a space for people of all ages to come together, relax and sweat it out during the festival. Reviving the little known tradition of the Irish sweathouse, this is their first project in Ireland. An eighteenth century cave-like forerunner to the modern sauna, sweathouses were considered a cure for numerous ailments, providing those living in remote locations with a means to keep warm in the winter. Perhaps surprisingly, Ireland has a long spa tradition – a tradition associated not with luxury, but with health, healing and social interaction. Built in collaboration with local carpenters and textile students, this unique installation is inspired by Kerry’s Gallarus Oratory. Using some of the latest 3D scanning technology to map the centuries old building, a small unmanned aircraft with a survey sensor will capture a photo realistic facade to scale, allowing a canvas recreation of the beautiful original. Sponsored by

Located on the stunning bay of Kinsale, the installation will bring this traditional structure into the 21st century through new technologies and thinking. Something and Son design and deliver popular and witty projects that bring together social enterprise, engineering and art. They have previously been commissioned by the Mayor of London, V&A Museum, CREATE, Manchester International, the London Festival of Architecture and the Gwang ju Biennale, South Korea. Previous projects include FARM:Shop and The Barking Bathhouse. Please note that due to the location, this installation is not accessible for wheelchair users. Bring a towel and bottle of water.

Design Honors List, New York Times (on FARM:Shop)

A multidimensional art work in Kinsale Harbour, The Pinking on Sea is a circular configuration of floating pink buoys seen from above, a presence both on the surface of and under the sea. The depths of the bay and the submarine architecture that holds the buoys in place will be revealed within the town in a projection of underwater video footage, installed in the shaft of a wishing well. Ruth Lyons creates sculptures and installations that highlight the landscape and anthropocene, and the immensity of influence that humanity now exerts on the shape of the land. She is codirector of The Good Hatchery. 12 visual arts

Current projects include The Pinking, Solo show, Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, August 2014 and Follies of Youth commission with Pavilion, Leeds. Past projects include The Forgotten Works, Project Arts Centre and Islanded in a Sea of Stars, The Lab, Dublin; Kerlin Gallery, Dublin.

Artist Talk Ruth Lyons Sunday 21 September 4.30pm Carmelite Friary Centre 3

This is the first showing of The Pinking on Sea, conceived by Lyons and executed in collaboration with Graham Ferguson and John Collins.

With a background in sculpture, he is interested in establishing a working relationship within a particular community as a means of considering its physical, cultural or emotional geography. Neville worked in partnership with the community in Achiltibuie to capture their story over two years. This is his first showing in Ireland.

Neville Gabie Afloat

Carmelite Friary Centre

Sunday 21 September 5.30pm (60min) €6 (incl. screening + Q&A)

Filmed over the course of one year, Afloat follows the construction of a St Ayles Skiff and a season’s racing. Neville Gabie’s practice is driven by working in response to specific locations or situations caught in a moment of change – highly urbanized or distantly remote.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, he has recently worked with the Olympic Development Authority on new commission, Great lengths 2012. Other projects include British Antarctic Survey, Halley Research station Antarctica, VitaminCreative Space, Gaungzhou, China for British Council and Isaka, Western Australia, and Royal Botanic Gardens, Toronto Canada. Commissioned by IOTA. Supported by The Highland Culture Strategic Board, a partnership of Creative Scotland, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and The Highland Council.

The Furthest Place from the Centre of the Earth Curated by Tessa Fitzjohn

The Mill

19–28 September 10–6pm (9pm close 19 September) Free An artist of quiet but immense sophistication, Kathy Prendergast’s work has persistently revolved around a potent cluster of issues chief among which are sexuality, identity, landscape, mapping and power. Kinsale Arts Festival is proud to present this solo show of recent and existing works, providing a survey of her past work and future directions. Prendergast burst on to the international scene at the 1995 Venice Biennale with delicate maps of the world’s capitals. Her drawings of all the world’s lakes and rivers reduce explicit geography to seemingly random marks, and delicate, emotional sculptures created from human hair, rocks and bronze are part of her diverse practice. This exhibition will include some of her extraordinary Black Map Series, as well as new sculptural works and a large-scale work in paper.

Represented by the Kerlin Gallery, Prendergast came to widespread attention for her ‘City Drawings’, for which she won the Best Young Artist Award at the Venice Biennale 1994. She has exhibited widely in venues including the Sydney Biennale, the ICA, the Drawing Center (New York), Peer (London), Douglas Hyde Gallery (Dublin) and Berardo Museum (Lisbon). She is represented in the collections of the Tate, the British Government Collection, Arts Council England and the Arts Council of Ireland, the Albright-Knox Museum, New York, the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery Dublin and numerous private collections internationally.

Doireann Ní Ghrioghair Kingdom Come

Kingdom Come takes the debris of redundant, toppled historical monuments and imbues them with bright, lurid pinks, yellows, greens, blues and the gaudiness and synthetics of consumer capitalism. Obelisks, columns and plinths are embedded in the aesthetic language of power and control. Re-imagined here, they become shaky, ridiculous totems to a precarious empire; their potency suffused with frivolousness and flippancy. The solemn austerity of pompous tyrants is disrupted with playfulness and pleasure and the monuments are denied their heroic autonomy. Doireann Ní Ghrioghair is the winner of the 2013 Now Wakes the Sea Award.

Graduating in 2010 with an MA in Fine Arts from Chelsea College of Art, London, she is currently undertaking a long-term residency at Firestation Studios, Dublin. Previous exhibitions include Now Wakes the Sea, Kinsale Arts Festival 2013, Creekside Open ’13 & ’11, APT Gallery London, curated by Ceri Hand and Phyllida Barlow respectively and ‘After the Future’, Eva International, Limerick curated by Annie Fletcher.

Digital tourists in an analogue arcade, One and Zero are led through this interactive installation by a guide that alternates between human voice, written manual and recordable media. This Is Not My Voice Speaking is a playful, hands-on theatre experience for two to four people at a time. By following a simple set of instructions, the audience collaborates with a series of machines – and each other – to perform the piece themselves. kinsaleartsfestival.com

‘Clever, slickly choreographed and well executed’ The Irish Times

A hilarious and impossible relationship is attempted between the audienceperformer, digital technology and the human voice. In the pressing of a button or the dragging of a finger to slow a record, the audienceperformer will find themselves closer to the clumsiness and limitations of their own not-so-digital bodies. This Is Not My Voice Speaking considers the phenomenon of recorded voices and images and asks how our relationship to them is changing. This is a non-seated performance. Commissioned by Vooruit (Gent) for Almost Cinema 2011.

But why? What act has led them here, to this point? And what are the consequences of finding it? Hailed by The Guardian as ‘a truly original theatrical voice’, Enda Walsh (Ballyturk, Bedbound, Misterman) is a multi award winning Irish playwright. Written in 2004, this is the Irish premiere of his short play How These Desperate Men Talk. Corcadorca first worked with Walsh in the mid nineties, producing his critically acclaimed play Disco Pigs, directed by Pat Kiernan, which toured internationally.

This co-production marks the company’s first large scale sitespecific show in six years, and their first creative collaboration with composition and sound artists Eat My Noise, played out late at night inside an industrial metal perforation factory.

The Domestic Godless Canaliculus Purgamentorum O’Herlihy’s Townhouse

The Domestic Godless have been an underground thorn in the foot of Irish gastronomy for over ten years, with an irreverent disregard for current fashions and culinary trends. They have introduced to the world such delights as Sea Urchin Pot Noodle, Foot & Mouth Terrine, Carpaccio of Giant African Land Snail and Victorian high tea wrought from all manner of fertilizer, often in the setting of anarchic installations. Inspired by the ubiquitous carousels of global sushi outlets, The Domestic Godless unveil Canaliculus Purgamentorum in Kinsale, a brand new project presenting their latest collection of amuse-bouches and epicurean tit-bits along a canal assembled from sewage ducting.

The installation will be open to the public for a limited time during the day from 21–24 September, offering performance and tastings over five evenings for the brave. Since 2003, The Domestic Godless have performed throughout Ireland, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin (2010), Castletown House in County Kildare (2013) and in a garbage skip at the gates of City Hall in Belfast (2004). This show involves eating and tasting but is not a full meal. Unfortunately, special dietary requirements cannot be accommodated.

St. Multose Church

Saturday 27 September 8.30pm (80min) €16 With her distinctive voice, original songs and her own brand of observational witty lyrics, Lisa O’Neill is a star on the rise. A unique instrument in itself, her voice is subtle enough to execute the tender reminiscence of a song like Speed Boat but powerful enough to bring the house down on the rousing call-to-arms chorus on Come Sit Sing. With a Domino publishing deal, the Cavan native has quickly set herself apart with her unique song writing and performance skills, deserving her place in the folds of the folk and traditional Irish music scene. Her second album Same Cloth Or Not, was recorded in Wicklow during the winter months with David Kitt producing and Karl Oldum engineering. The album also includes her band Stina Sandstrom (vocals) and Mossy Nolan (bouzouki) and some wonderful interventions from London-based string duo Geese (Emma Smith and Vincent Sipprell). We are delighted to have Lisa bring her beguiling live performance to Kinsale, full of banter and old-style folk intimacy.

Chatham Saxophone Quartet St. Multose Church

Tuesday 23 September 8.15pm (105min incl. interval) €17.50 With an eclectic repertoire spanning contemporary, classical and jazz genres, this adventurous ensemble pushes the boundaries of what we know the saxophone quartet to be. Runaway winners of Music Network’s Young Musician Award in 2012, the Chatham Saxophone Quartet has repeatedly won plaudits for its bravura performances and versatility. Previous performances include Galway Music Residency, the National Concert Hall, Dingle’s Féile na Bealtaine and numerous appearances on RTÉ TV and radio.

Elysian Quartet Irish Debut

St. Multose Church

Saturday 20 September 8.15pm (100min incl. interval) €20 Performing for the first time in Ireland, London’s Elysian Quartet specialise in contemporary, instrumental and experimental music. Elysian Quartet notoriously performed in their own individual flying helicopters in the first complete staging of Stockhausen’s infamous Mittwoch aus Licht opera as part of the official London 2012 Olympic celebrations. Renowned for devising and performing live scores for film, the group enjoy exploring the limits of what their instruments can do and the sounds they can make as a string quartet. They have performed around the world in an increasingly diverse array of scenarios such as concert halls, theatres, a volcano, beaches and a fire sculpture to name a few.

Elysian’s repertoire for Kinsale will include selections from Dublin composer Conor Linehan’s score for De Oscuro’s Macbeth, which premiered at the Royal Opera House in 2013. They will also perform music from their recent collaboration with composer Richard Skelton, performed as part of Faster Than Sound at Aldeburgh Music, Sage Gateshead and the Barbican. Programme: Conor Linehan – Macbeth Suite (Premiere) Richard Skelton/Elysian Quartet – Above Below Meredith Monk – String Songs Pauline Oliveros – Text Scores

A freefalling spontaneous unscripted performance that pushes Tommy to the very limits of his creativity. This is improvisation but probably not as you may have seen it before. There are no games or audience suggestions. Tommy walks onstage with no idea what’s going to happen and just begins. Begins what? We don’t know and neither does he. This is a full length, entirely composed in the moment, aria of mayhem. Described by some as the best and most honest thing they’ve seen Tommy do, this is tightrope walking, 50 ft in the air without a tightrope! It could be brilliant, it could be cringey, it could be both – but it will most definitely be compelling. Born in County Donegal, Tommy Tiernan is a multi-award winning comedian, actor and writer. Very limited capacity.

Pat Collins in conversation with Jim Carroll see p35

Living in a Coded Land is a poetic and imaginative film essay which makes unexpected links between events and locations, history and contemporary life. The film revolves around the notion of a sense of place and stories associated with place, reflecting on the subterranean traces of the past in the present. It explores probing themes such as the impact of colonialism, emigration, the famine, land, housing and the place of art in society. Making extensive use of archive footage from RTÉ and the IFI, the film seeks to explore the more elusive layers of meaning that make up this country.

‘A melancholic journey, Living In A Coded Land is a layered exploration of the Irish psyche — nothing comes close to its originality.’ Irish Examiner

A Story of Children and Film Dir. Mark Cousins 2013 | UK (PG)

Following The Story of Film: An Odyssey, filmmaker and critic Mark Cousins has created a companion piece full of his trademark passion and knowledge as he examines differing representations of children throughout the international history of cinema. Inspired by the reactions of his young niece and nephew to being filmed while visiting his flat, Cousins takes their changing moods as the starting points for a series of freeassociating digressions on children and film that use illustrative clips from a selection of 53 films from 25 countries, ranging from Spielberg’s E.T. – The Extra Terrestrial to 1970s Albanian film Tomka and His Friends.

‘The film is a treat, and Cousins’ infectious enthusiasm and talent for making connections and drawing parallels between the unlikeliest of sources will leave audiences eager to see more of the films mentioned.’ The Guardian ‘A hugely impressive work by a uniquely talented storyteller.’ The Observer
