WOMEN IN THE PICTURE 2

Influence and Inspiration

3-5 March, 2006
In association with the Womens’ Studies Centre, NUIG.

Following on from the success of last year’s event, the second Women in the Picture symposium focuses on the question, what inspires and influences contemporary women film-makers?

While acknowledging fully that the work of male artists and film-makers has been and continues to be a major influence on the work of most women film-makers, the symposium will focus on women’s influence on each other’s work. The notion of influence raises many questions about such issues as the role of critical discourses in creating canons and constructing ‘auteurs’; women filmmaker’s creative and working practices; and the desirability, or otherwise, of role models.

The various talks and screenings will allow us to think about these and other questions, about the range of women who have inspired women film-makers, why this is so, and how their influence has been manifested.

A range of distinguished filmmakers and critics will explore these issues, including renowned feminist film-maker and theorist, LAURA MULVEY, whose discussion of the work of Iranian film-maker, Rakshan Bani Etemad, will be preceded by a screening of UNDER THE SKIN OF THE CITY; film-maker and critic PAT MURPHY (NORA); filmmaker LIZ GILL (GOLDFISH MEMORY); and filmmaker MONIKA TREUT, who will also screen and discuss her new film, TIGER WOMEN GROW WINGS, a documentary tracing the profound changes undergone by Taiwanese society by examining the lives of three generations of Taiwanese women.

Fees
€25 waged, €10 unwaged

The Photographers’ Gallery is one of the UK’s primary venues for photography and one of London’s most popular public galleries with over half a million people visiting in 2004. Established in 1971, the Gallery was the UK’s first independent photographic gallery.

The Gallery’s programme of exhibitions, projects and events is created to inspire, inform and support its audience’s enjoyment and critical understanding of photography. The Gallery houses two exhibition spaces, one of Europe’s largest photographic bookshops, a café and the Print Sales Gallery, selling photographic prints. All profits from the Gallery’s enterprises go back in to supporting its public programme.

Tuesday 7^th March 2006

5.00pm – 7.00pm

Following our roundtable with Jay Koh and Chuyuan in December we are hosting a roundtable discussion with London based artist Loraine Leeson. This discussion is intended for arts, community and youth practitioners dedicated to developing participatory practice in the context of regeneration.

Loraine’s input will cover her early work exploring the role of arts and culture within the changing architectural, social and cultural landscape of London’s Docklands. She will reflect upon the changing production and political conditions that are fundamental to her current work with young people. The discussion will focus on how new ideas / practices emerge from research processes about the potential of participatory arts practice to address and infiltrate the city.

The discussion may focus on three questions.

(1) How can cross disciplinary (artists, youth workers, community development projects, academic practitioners) establish shared understandings and a potential consensus on ways forward for collaborative practice in community contexts?

(2) What new ideas / practices are emerging from research processes about the potential of participatory arts practice to address and infiltrate the city?

(3) How can these evolving processes link to an active archiving process?

Biographical Note:

Loraine Leeson has worked with communities through the visual arts for thirty years, creating artworks in the public domain. During the late seventies her work centred on the politics of health, including posters and exhibitions for the East London Health Project and Bethnal Green Hospital Campaign. In the early eighties she co-founded and directed the Docklands Community Poster Project, spending the following decade working with the communities of London Docklands on re-development issues. In the early nineties she co-founded and directed The Art of Change, which during the nineties developed participatory projects exploring creativity in relation to issues of social change. During this time she became increasingly interested in the opportunities for collective creativity offered by the new communications technology, which led to the founding of cSPACE in 2002. Loraine has lectured and taught part-time over this period at colleges and universities throughout the country. Her work has been widely exhibited and published in this country and abroad, most recently in a major retrospective of her work in the NGBK in Berlin in Nov 2005. She is currently a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of East London.

Moving Gallery for International Contemporary Photography, in a magazine format.

Expensive and good.
http://www.ivorypress.com/cphotomagazine.htm

C-Photo Magazine is being published by Ivory Press in two bilingual editions every year. The hard-back format combines English/Chinese and Spanish/Japanese. Copies will be distributed world-wide and available by subscription or direct purchase from galleries, museums and quality booksellers.

C-Photo Magazine will explore the changes and trends that have shaped the art of photography over the course of its history as well as presenting an eclectic overview of contemporary trends. It will also serve as a platform for living artists, with no aesthetic or cultural distinctions.

C-Photo Magazine is founded and directed by Elena Ochoa Foster whose global perspective encourages regional variations, rather than projecting a conventional western point of view.

C-Photo Magazine has a strong emphasis on design and quality of execution. Each issue will have familiar sections, which over time will build up as a valuable source of reference. For example the Archive section will show major works which are so far unpublished, whilst Vintage will feature classic images. The publishers will encourage and finance new works, through its CAction section. Current events on the contemporary scene will be explored in the Scope section, and Portfolio section.

The remaining content will give voice to the other actors on the photography scene. Curators, gallery owners, collectors, critics and editors, among others, will have their say, where they can share their opinions and an exclusive selection of their collections and the artists they represent.
