Collaborative Practice and the Body, Anna Furse in conversation with Susanne Bosch

“AN ANATOMY ACT deals with the morbid, but with humour. I’m taking people on an uncomfortable and disturbing journey. I hope people feel comforted by the fact that these taboos about death, our own imminent passing, and of our bodies being opened are somehow okay. It’s ok to have that anxiety. In death we’re all the same. The tone of dead skin is very similar after it has been treated for dissection, no matter what skin colour in life. But the cadaver is both about common human denominators and individual nuances. Surgeons say that every heart is unique. Everybody’s interior has its own character and I find that utterly fascinating.”

Caroline Cowley in conversation with Grainne Coughlan

“Working with artists within the local authority has the potential to change how we all do things. I am aware too that while the artist may work on these local platforms, their reputational reach is International. I am interested in how the local responds to the global through art, where the site/s are constantly shifting and making different connections back to Fingal.”

Practice and Power Keynote talk: Jeanne Van Heeswijk

Video by Jeanne Van Heeswijk

Jeanne van Heeswijk is an artist who facilitates the creation of dynamic and diversified public spaces in order to “radicalize the local.” Her long-term community-embedded projects question art’s autonomy by combining performative actions, discussions, and other forms of organising and pedagogy in order to assist communities to take control of their own futures. Drawing on two major projects Freehouse: Radicalising the Local in Rotterdam (2008 – ongoing), and the more recent Philadelphia Assembled (2015-2017 and ongoing), Jeanne explores key questions relating to power and practice from the artist’s perspective. This keynote was the opening talk of Practice and Power.

Age & Opportunity’s Bealtaine Festival, Create, and the Irish Architecture Foundation partnered once again in 2018 to deliver this final conference in a series which explores how collaborative and interdisciplinary arts practice engages with our rights to adequate housing, public space and cultural lives as we age. Bringing together a programme of speakers from all over Ireland working in architecture, arts, policy making, the health sector and research, the conference took the 2018 Bealtaine Festival theme of hospitality as its point of departure.

2018 Residency with Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios – Hina Khan

Video by John Beattie

Hina Khan was the inaugural recipient of the Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios Residency for an Artist from an ethnic minority background.

Hina’s work is the constant search for the best way to interpret ideas and express ideologies through symbolism. Using a mixture of traditional and innovative techniques, Hina’s work portrays social issues, immigration and humanitarian crisis like prostitution, gender discrimination, restrictions, trauma, child abuse and killing. This residency provided Hina space to work with freedom, enhancing her capabilities as an artist and provided an opportunity to develop her collaborative arts practice further, while immersing herself in contemporary Irish art practice.

The Realm of Possibility – an Acoustic Footprint

Audio by Susanne Bosch & Seán Mac Erlaine

Between 2015 and 2018, Susanne Bosch, CAPP Artist Researcher, gathered about 200 hours of audio recordings from the CAPP network meetings, events, dialogues, conversations and exchanges. She captured countless moments attempting to verbally de-construct and newly construct this field of interconnectedness through collaborative arts. A sound piece has been developed in collaboration with composer, musician and producer Seán Mac Erlaine that captures the polyphonic, multi-layered complex web of conversations.
