General Public Talk with Nora: 11th May @3:30pm
For the first time in over 20 years the original paintings of Italian artist Daniel De'Angeli will be exhibited in Ireland thanks to the kind permission of Mr Robert and Dr Olive Pierse.
After reading an account of The Voyage of St Brendan the Abbot, which he had bought on a visit to Kerry, this Italian artist made a series of 28 beautiful, contemporary and contemplative paintings inspired by the various encounters on the journey.
The exhibition also includes an installation exhibition consisting of three parts: a series of slides taken from the paintings of Daniel De'Angeli depicting instances of the Voyage of Brendan the navigator; a continual variety of sounds that amplify and intensify the visual experience and a catalogue essay.
Siamsa Tíre together with Éamonn O Reilly and Nora Donnelly would like to thank ‘The Grey Heron’, Mr. Diarmuid McIntyre, for the wonderful ‘Soundscape’ that he composed, designed and produced for Nora’s Installation. All the sounds you hear are entirely original and have been recorded directly by Diarmuid himself.
As you will find out when you go into the space, what is heard is just as important as what is seen, and Diarmuid’s creativity and ingenuity have provided us with nothing less than a magnificent piece of art in the form of a multi-layered and stereophonic ‘Soundscape’ which not only evokes Brendan himself but also sweeps all of us, spectators of the work into the space of his world and his voyage.
