1:1 – Belinda Quirke

1:1

Join Belinda Quirke and exhibiting artist, Isabel Nolan in this joint live performance in response to and concerning Nolan’s exhibition flotsam, jetsam, lagan and derelict. Together they will respond to and further explore related trajectories through sound improvisation and spoken word.

Belinda Quirke explores the universal geometric foundation, and nature of sound, through experimentation with electronic sound materials. The space between, how we listen, where we listen, and what we hear, is ultimately individually experiential, and species dependent. Quirke uses voice, vintage Juno 6 Synthesiser and stylophone combining palindromic medieval systems and inverted Tectractys structures in construction.

Belinda Quirke

Belinda is a curator, producer, musician, singer, and inaugural director of award winning Solstice Arts Centre in County Meath. Belinda is a graduate of NCAD, (MFA ACW), UCC Music and Crawford College of Art, Cork). An eclectic early performance career manifested through a number of bands and ensembles. Belinda is currently a trustee of the Golden Fleece Award; an independent artistic prize fund established as a charitable bequest by the late Helen Lillias Mitchell. In June 2021, Quirke returned to music making with the release of “The Black Hill”. 1:1 is scheduled for release Summer 2023.

Isabel Nolan

Isabel Nolan’s work includes sculpture, textiles, paintings, drawings, photography and writing. Her work responds to the fundamental question of how humans bring the world into meaning. How we make, (through science, politics, agriculture, religion, etcetera), reality happens. Whether examining the knees of a 17th C sculpture, perceptions of a Neolithic artefact, the shifting symbolic status of a donkey or images of distant galaxies, Nolan looks for the ways we can like, or even love, the difficult and complex human world we’ve made.

Isabel Nolan – flotsam, jetsam, lagan and derelict

Void Gallery is delighted to present flotsam, jetsam, lagan and derelict, a solo exhibition by Dublin-based artist Isabel Nolan. The exhibition comprises paintings, drawings and objects, reflecting Nolan’s ongoing interest in modes of human organisation, the shifting status of artefacts and images over long periods of time.

The preview will commence with an in conversation between Isabel and Declan Long, art critic and Course Director of the MA Art in the Contemporary World at NCAD Ireland. Booking can be made by visiting this link.

The experience of lockdown during Covid-19 and the slowing down of time has a resonance in this exhibition. Often working at home, drawing, an important element of Nolan’s practice, became the sole conduit of how she made ‘meaning’ happen and manifested a response in a time of huge uncertainty.Drawing is integral to her studio practice, it is a means to conjure new representations of the world, of making it legible. Sketching, scribbling, note-taking, erasing and sometimes simply expending nervous energy is fundamental to the way Nolan draws. Often made without the intention of being exhibited, pages absorb ideas and begin to suggest material ways to formulate and give shape to often abstract ideas. The line, colours, patterns and forms are a starting point for her expanded practice; from there she transfers this mode of working to encompass painting, sculpture or tapestry.

The paintings have an ethereal and otherworldly quality stemming from years of reading and harvesting ideas from diverse fields; philosophy, archaeology, physics and theology. The figures in the paintings, such as shadowy St. Jerome, the patron saint of archaeology, known for his translation of the bible, and St. Columba, the patron Saint of Derry, who is credited with spreading monastic Christianity Christian culture in Ireland, and Scotland (and overseeing the emergence of an Irish historical record,) reflects Nolan’s love for elaborately honed narratives that become the channel for disseminating both troubling beliefs and great spirituality.

The paintings have an energetic quality to them, a hum, a liveness through her use of colour and motifs that recur throughout her work; suns, spirals, and waveforms give this sense of momentum. These forms also express the macro and the micro, the cosmic to the cellular.

Her works are revealing; representing the unseen, a fluid version of the world that continues to explore the periphery, the otherworld, and questions of ‘meaning’. As we have returned to the everyday, and things are as they were, and we are overloaded with quotidian concerns, those philosophical questions concerning the nature of the human condition have receded. This exhibition is a reminder that existence is delicate, unfathomable and our vocabulary often struggles to encapsulate the profundity and strangeness of being alive. In a time where the world feels as if it is teetering on a precipice of cumulative disasters Nolan provides a provisional space for us to occupy and ruminate on the nature and beauty of existence.

Isabel Nolan Biography

“The arc of almost every little thing I’ve proffered in public, in exhibitions or texts is quite similar. It goes as follows: Life is often hard and without meaning in any grand, a priori sense. Art is a good way to find meaninglessness beautiful. Meaning must be invented. And those inventions must be contested and questioned, and never taken for granted.” Isabel Nolan

About the works in the Touring Programme

Grace Ndiritu, Black Beauty (2021)

African fashion model Alexandra Cartier (aka Black Beauty) is doing a photo shoot advert for Black Beauty ecological face cream in the desert of Patagonia. When Alexandra is saying her lines, the blazing desert sun momentarily blinds her and she goes into a momentary cosmic hallucinatory state. Her inner vision shows a sound-stage with her as a Late Night talk show host called Karen Roberts, interviewing Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges about Climate change, pandemics, migration and Time.

Onyeka Igwe, a so-called archive (2020)

a so-called archive interrogates the decomposing repositories of Empire with a forensic lens. Blending footage shot in two separate colonial archive buildings—one in Lagos, Nigeria, and the other in Bristol, UK—this double portrait considers the ‘sonic shadows’ that colonial images continue to generate, despite the disintegration of their memory and their materials. Igwe’s film imagines what might have been ‘lost’ from these archives, mixing genres of the radio play, the corporate video tour, and detective noir with a haunting and critical approach to the horror of discovery.

Alberta Whittle, Lagareh – The Last Born (2022)

Shot on location in Scotland, England, Sierra Leone and Barbados and featuring footage from Venice, Lagareh – The Last Born brings together histories and communities that connect across these geographies to decipher different modes of not only taking care of the dead and confronting grief but also imagining how to create families of kithship. Whittle embraces storytelling as a means of exploring ideas of displacement but also family and community.

The themes of the film build on ideas of the Caribbean Gothic and Hauntology, but are also bound by the desire to cultivate hope and personal healing as forms of resistance against a background of catastrophe. The film is intended to offer an insight into different potential layers of resistance that allow for Black love to be situated in proximity with historical sites of trauma that Whittle re-inscribes with rage, hope and exhaustion.

Rosa-Johan Uddoh, Black Poirot (2019-2021)

Black Poirot is a 20-minute ride on the Orientalised-Other Express, investigating a crime no one can remember, an internalized struggle with latent respectability politics, and featuring a special guest appearance from Édouard Glissant in the role that could have defined him. Appropriating the popular Agatha Christie’s Poirot detective novels, this work uses a well-known format to tell a not-so-well known history, while satirising the current trend for tokenistic casting practices.

Morgan Quaintance, Surviving You, Always (2020)

In Surviving You, Always, a narrative opposition between the proposed metaphysical highs of psychedelic drugs and the harsher actualities of concrete metropolitan life, sets up a formal and conceptual study in contrasts. These two realities also form the backdrop of an adolescent encounter told through still images and written narration. Voice-overs by American psychologist Timothy Leary and spiritualist Ram Dass, profess that psychedelic drugs trigger the expansion of consciousness. Simultaneously, on screen text tells us of Quaintance’s own experience as a teenager in 1990s South London, whose acid-infused journeys revealed the city’s built environment to be a nightmarish and alienating scene for the dissolution of self. Following both perspectives simultaneously is a mind-twisting exercise, but Quaintance’s seamless editing, confessional candour and compelling sound design reveal a hidden history of working class multicultural life in London that burns with multiple socio-political resonances, and a deep sense of urban melancholy.

Jamie Crewe, False Wife (2022)

False Wife is a work that leads its visitors through an ordeal of transformation. A poppers training video is typically a user-made compilation of pornographic clips, uploaded to adult video hosting sites. These clips are paired with text, hypnotic music, voiceovers, and instructions for action. Viewers are told to masturbate and sniff poppers, to let imagery and sensation meld, and reach a gooning ecstatic fervour.

False Wife is a poppers training video, but its material is obscure. Its narrative is drawn from a variety of folk tales in which transformation occurs, and relationships happen. Its footage is scavenged from sources that reflect these themes, reduced to slivers of significant imagery, rubbed together. These originating sources are warped or inflamed to say ambiguous things: to discuss desire, shame, transgression, and the longing for change, and the various ways we want — and don’t want — to face them.
