News GradCAM researcher Sinead McDonald at IMPACT20 – Planetary Alliances
5/10/2023
GradCAM researcher Sinead McDonald has been invited to present her research at the annual IMPACT Transdisciplinary Symposium at PACT Zollverein in Germany.
IMPACT20 – Planetary Alliances
For years, experts from all fields of knowledge have been occupied with the complex interconnections and vital dependencies between the human and the non-human. Under the title ›Planetary Alliances‹, IMPACT20 invites you to a polylogue on relationship net- works in which humans are just one actor among many.
As a scientific and artistic think-tank, IMPACT20 criss-crosses perspectives from biotechnology, natural science, philosophy and contemporary art: Lars Blank, Rosi Braidotti and Johannes Paul Raether reflect on the relativities, metabolisms and relationships between the elements and protagonists of our world and how these impact on ecological, social, economic and technological developments in a community. How can new alliances that no longer place humankind at the centre of perception, shape and define new models of societies?

Forthcoming presentation at AAH Conference
GradCAM researcher Gráinne Coughlan to present paper at AAH annual Conference, April 2020
Gráinne Coughlan will present her paper “Managing Labour in A Fair Land” as part of the panel Art, Labour and Inequality: Interdisciplinary Perspectives at the Association of Art Historians Annual Conference. Her paper focuses on the participatory artwork A Fair Land that was developed by Grizedale Arts and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in 2016. Drawing from management studies and organisational aesthetics, Gráinne will examine the distribution but also the management of labour in A Fair Land. Rather than assume participation per se as a democratic gain, she will explore good management as a necessary tool to negotiate equitable distribution of labour in participatory art and to this end, compares how labour was managed in the model village and in the inter-institutional relationships that produced it. The paper develops Gráinne’s ongoing research interest in the organisation and management of socially engaged art and typologies of participation

Appointment as Public Art Now coordinator
Gradcam Researcher Grainne Coughlan Coordinates Public Art Now Conference, 29-31 October 2020
Gradcam Phd Candidate, Grainne Coughlan was appointed as conference coordinator for Public Art Now Conference in September 2019.
The conference will be located at TU Dublin’s city campus, Grangegorman – Irelands largest single investment in higher education in the last 50 years, which will house a community of 23,00 students on a campus only 1km from Dublin city centre. The campus, in part situated on the grounds of the former St Brendan’s hospital is central to the development of a vibrant new city quarter that is sensitive to the context of Grangegorman, its’ surrounding neighbourhoods and existing community. This location informs our considerations of Public Art, which often acts as a barometer for thinking critically about the relationships between Public Art practice, policy and its publics.
Comprised of a varied set of art practices, Public Art provides opportunities for collective participation and self-expression, historical reflection and community dialogue. It contributes to our social, spatial and political topologies by proposing new social models, enhancing physical infrastructure and engaging with design. As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, human–and non-human animals, face unprecedented environmental and social challenges. The present geological epoch of the Anthropocene, unchecked globalisation and resurgent nationalistic forces, provide new contexts through which to consider Public Arts role in society. Within this context, the Public Art Now Conference will explore alternative ways to articulate the diversity of arts practice and the complexity of our social, physical and natural environments.
As such, the Public Art Now conference is structured by three key themes;
- Public Art: Processes and Politics
- Public Art in the Anthropocene
- Ecologies of Space and Place

GradCAM Head of Artistic Research delivers opening lecture at the New Research Center For Public Education at Maynooth University on the 24th April.
Titled: Evental Education, Dr. Glenn Loughran’s presentation explored how to link art and education through the concept of the event. The “event” is a blind spot in the dominant educational ideologies of efficiency, accountability and flexibility. This theory of public education was explored through large-scale public art projects and programmes which set out to engage participants at marginal sites of exchange.
Initiated by Professors Gert Biesta and CarlAnders Salfstrom the research center aims to support educational research on public education and civic engagement.

Siobhán Doyle presents paper at the Imperial War Museum in London
PhD Researcher Siobhán Doyle presented a paper at the Curating the Great War conference at the Imperial War Museum, London in September.
The conference formed part of IWM London’s 2018 Making a New World season, which explores responses to the war in its aftermath and attempts to rebuild the world. The theme of the conference was how the First World War was and is represented and interpreted in museums across the world and was organised by the University of Bristol and the IWM Institute.
Siobhán spoke as part of the ‘Museums, Communities and the Centenary of the Great War’ session, which addressed exhibitions of the Great War, in celebration of its centenary from 2014 to 2018. Her paper discussed practices of representing death in commemorative exhibitions, through a historical analysis of Joseph Plunkett’s rosary beads on display at the National Museum of Ireland. Siobhán’s paper interrogated the way the exhibition presents a particular narrative of reconciliation and links the Great War with the 1916 Rising through the display of Plunkett’s last possession in the ‘Proclaiming a Republic: The 1916 Rising’ exhibition in Collins Barracks.

Publication: Art in the Age of Financial Crisis
Dr Conor McGarrigle, Lecturer in Fine Art in the Dublin School of Creative Arts, has co-edited a special edition of the Routledge journal, Visual Resources with Professor Marisa Lerer of Manhattan College. The edition had its origins in a panel for the 2017 College Art Association Conference in New York City.

Art in the Age of Financial Crisis
This issue addresses the long financial crisis of 2008 and the nature and diversity of artistic responses to it. This financial crisis is understood as a globalized result of late capitalism that nonetheless is experienced differently at local, regional, and national levels. It is multi-faceted in nature, a phenomenon that has historical roots and precedents that inform contemporary responses. Artists are not restricted to engage with the economy through one specific vehicle of inquiry or one type of medium and message. Therefore, the central question that this issue poses is: what is the artist’s role in finance, crisis, and the economy? Should artists: fix the economy; explain it;
attempt to alter it; reject it; participate in it; or none of the above? The articles, artists’ projects and interviews presented here attend to these questions through a wide-ranging lens including: studies of historical precedents such as the Great Depression of 1929 and currency crises in Latin America in the 1970s; artistic direct interventions within financial systems that reveal and challenge their opaque processes and value systems; alternative currencies highlighting the neo-colonialism of global financial markets; and blockchain-based rethinking of art market ownership models. These multi-faceted projects spanning different time periods and geographies offer crucial and distinct theoretical positions. This issue, which saw its origins in a panel for the 2017 College Art Association Conference in New York City, adds to scholarship on these pressing topics and seeks to foster a continued discourse on the intersections of art and financial crisis.
The edition includes articles by Elena Shtromberg, University of Utah; Amy Whitaker, NYU Steinhardt School; Jennifer Gradecki, Northeastern University; Derek Curry, Northeastern University; Jillian Russo, curator at the Art Students League of New York; and El Putnam of the Dublin School of Creative Arts. The edition includes Art Projects by LigoranoReese and Kennedy Browne as well as interviews with the artists Mansour Ciss Kanakassy, Miguel Luciano, Fran Ilich and Gabriela Ceja, and Paolo Cirio.

GradCAM PhD Researcher Martijn Tellinga ‘songlines II’ Het Glazen Huis @ Zone2Source
GradCAM PhD Researcher Martijn Tellinga’s installation, ‘songlines II’, will be on display at Zone2Place Amsterdam. Below you can read the pamphlet information in relation Martijn, his work, and this installation.
//
Songlines are invisible pathways crossing all over the Australian continent, used to navigate distances of sometimes hundreds of kilometers by means of song. While moving, songs sung in certain sequence provide bearing to the singing traveler, describing locations of (former) landmarks or (super) natural phenomena.
“Aboriginal Creation myths tell of the totemic being who wandered over the continent, singing out the name of everything that crossed their path – birds, animals, plants, rocks, waterholes – and so singing the world into existence.” – Bruce Chatwin
Tellinga’s recent installation works explore the idea that within a landscape, experience of place and surrounding comes about through perceiving and creating resonance. Through a partly poetic, partly scientific reading of the acoustic resonances of a given space, these works attempt to make those resonances palpable as an extension of architecture and traversable as a musical and experiential plane.
Five pairs of aligned speaker drivers have been installed, bridging the different dimensions of the space. Each pair has been assigned an electronic pure tone of which the frequency is proportionate to the physical distance between two opposing speakers. This causes the space to respond and naturally reinforce and diffuse the quietly projected tones: the space appears to hum omnipresently in unison with the tones at its intrinsic pitches (informed by architectural shape and size). A constantly shifting interval of two tones can be heard, slowly scanning the resonant spectrum of the room. Gentle physical movement through the space reveals a panorama of audible crests, slopes and meeting points.
Recordings of a sustained singing voice occassionaly tune with a tone, causing acoustic ripples and melodic resonances to appear at specific points in the room. The voice, because of its rich timbre, instantly sings body and location into the static abstracted landscape, connecting the invisibly traversing songlines within the space.

Martijn Tellinga (1974, Netherlands) is an artist, composer and occasional performer. His practice enfolds and integrates elements of concert, installation and performance art. Drawn from a reduced formalist-seeming vocabulary, his work centers on the exploration of sound & listening to express ideas of space, place and process: their reciprocal production, contextual intertwining, and potential as a perceptual, performative and social medium. It includes a wide variety of conceptual actions and chance operations, probing the emergent field between intended and accidental occurrences.
He performs and exhibits his work worldwide, lectures and works in residence. He is one of the curators for the long running series DNK-Amsterdam and visiting professor at the Central Academy for Fine Arts in Beijing and ArtEZ in Arnhem. He is a PhD candidate at the Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media in Dublin. He lives and works in Amsterdam.

Migration and the Humanities: Critical Challenges Published
The proceedings of a recent workshop examining questions of migration and citizenship has just been published and is available on the Irish Humanities Alliance website (pdf). The document is called Migration and Humanities: Critical Challenges, and offers thorough engagement with issues in migration by numerous academics working in the humanities, as well as key recommendations.
This workshop was funded by the Irish Research Council and sponsored by the Irish Humanities Alliance, of which Dean of GradCAM Prof. Noel Fitzpatrick is Chair.
Prof. Fitzpatrick provides the forward of this document:
Migration raises fundamental questions, not just about who we are and where we come from,
but also what it means to belong to a nation state and to be recognised by the state as a
citizen or a potential citizen or a transitory citizen. When a recognition of the ‘transitory’ or
‘transitioning’ citizen takes place there is an obligation to acknowledge basic human rights:
the rights to education and the right to work. The demand to be recognised/acknowledged
within the nation state as a citizen or transitory citizen is one of the major challenges of
contemporary Europe and is perhaps, more broadly, a challenge to the EU project itself.
The positive intercultural and interlinguistic experience offered by the movement of people
is often overlooked by more populist discourses in relation to the fear of the other.
In June 2017 the Irish Humanities Alliance (IHA) put in place a forum to raise these
questions as part of our annual conference in 2017 and the results of these interventions and
discussions are presented here. We have also provided some recommendations arising from
this in relation to the Humanities and Migration in the hope that these recommendations can
be acted upon in the very near future. Moreover, as we go to print, we welcome the fact that
four of our member HEIs – DCU, UCC, UCD and UL – are recognised as designated ‘Universities
of Sanctuary’ for asylum seekers and refugees while other member HEIS are currently aiming
for that status by fostering a culture of inclusion for all.

Collaboration and co-creation; a systems way of thinking
Gráinne Coughlan, PhD researcher at GradCAM, presented a paper at the College Art Association’s Annual Conference in Los Angeles in February. The annual conference is one of the principal and largest opportunities for art historians and interpreters of visual culture to present their research. Drawing from the literature of organisational cybernetics, Gráinne’s paper examined how contemporary collaborative art practices propose alternative models of social organisation through detailed examination of the Co-Creation methodology used by Italian cultural association Artway of Thinking. Presenting their Co-Creation methodology as a unique and under used form of facilitating collaboration. Gráinne’s paper contributes to current collaborative arts discourse and emphasises often overlooked managerial aspects of collaborative art, by investigating how attention to organisational complexity, critical management, and “good governance” proposes alternative models of social organisation through collaborative practice.

Dr Tim Stott publishes the article ‘When Attitudes Became Toys: Jasia Reichardt’s Play Orbit’ in the April 2018 issue of Art History.
Dr Tim Stott, Lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture at Dublin School of Creative Arts, publishes the article ‘When Attitudes Became Toys: Jasia Reichardt’s Play Orbit’ in the April 2018 issue of Art History.
This article studies Play Orbit, an exhibition of ‘toys, games and playables’ curated by Jasia Reichardt and Peter Jones, shown at the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales and then at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, between August 1969 and February 1970. The article’s core claim is that Play Orbit, which Reichardt described as ‘the most democratic exhibition ever held in this country’, also continues her interest in the encounter of art and cybernetics and so marks a significant but still largely neglected moment in the history of systems art in the late nineteen-sixties.

Siobhán’s research on mediating death in museums using James Connolly’s bloodstained vest as a case study will be published in May this year by the European Remembrance and Solidarity Network in their journal on 20th century conflict. In March 2018, Siobhán convened a museum workshop Curating Conflict; at Dublin Institute of Technology which brings together museum experts and leading researchers from across the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and England, to discuss best practices in collecting, curating and exhibiting conflict in museums and galleries.
Siobhán’s research uses historical and visual analysis to examine the range of practices that take place in order to render ordinary objects as valuable material evidence of significant events in history. These key practices are being addressed at the Museum Objects of Evidence Summer School and will provide Siobhán with valuable insights into the processes of how the sensory experiences of past material cultures can be understood through the study of museum objects.

GradCAM Publish with ELIA : SHARE Handbook for Artistic Research Education
The SHARE Handbook for Artistic Research Education –digital version available for download or for reading as an e-book, is the outcome of three years of work by SHARE, an international network working to enhance the ‘third cycle’ of arts research and education in Europe. SHARE is an acronym for ‘Step-Change for Higher Arts Research and Education’ (a ‘step-change’ being a major jump forward, a key moment of progress).
The SHARE network brings together a wide array of graduate schools, research centres, educators, supervisors, researchers and cultural practitioners, across all the arts disciplines. Over the period 2010–2013, this network was (co)funded through the ERASMUS Lifelong Learning Programme. Jointly coordinated by the Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM), the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and the European League of Institute of the Arts (ELIA), the funding bid was comprised of 35 partners from 28 European countries.
The SHARE Handbook for Artistic Research Education is a poly-vocal document, designed as a contribution to the field of artistic research education from an organisational, procedural and practical standpoint. As a provisional disclosure of the state of the art within specific constituencies, this publication seeks to be serviceable to many different agendas and projects, and it attempts to do this by demonstrating the lived contradictions of what is simultaneously both an emerging and fully formed domain of research education.
Edited by Mick Wilson and Schelte van Ruiten the Handbook features contributions from: Henk Borgdorff Anna Daučíková Scott deLahunta ELIA James Elkins Bojan Gorenec Johan A Haarberg Efva Lilja Steven Henry Madoff Leandro Madrazo Nina Malterud Ruth Mateus-Berr Alen Ožbolt John Rajchman Matthias Tarasiewicz Andris Teikmanis Johan Verbeke
ELIA will continue SHARE network activities, pushing the agenda for artistic research and further developing this research community, together with global partners and collaborative networks for research within the arts.
Hardcopies of the book will be available at the ELIA Biennial Conference 2014 in Glasgow (13-15 November 2014). In the interim, copies can be ordered at the cost of shipping by contacting ELIA Office Manager Johan Deeder at johan.deeder@elia-artschools.org
