Artist Beth O'Halloran says: 'In this podcast, I’ll be taking listeners for a night walk with my dogs, exploring sights and sounds amplified by darkness.

Podcast: The Irish Blackboards: Reflections on Joseph Beuys' 1974 Visit to Ireland
In 1974 Joseph Beuys exhibited A Secret Block for a Secret Person in Ireland  at Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin, and the Ulster Museum, Belfast. During several visits to the island that year, Beuys presented lectures and discussions in several cities. In this episode, Irish artists Maud Cotter and John Carson reflect on their experiences of having attended Joseph Beuys' blackboard lectures in Cork and Belfast while studying at the Crawford College of Art and Design and the University of Ulster, respectively. Maud Cotter joins Logan Sisley, Acting Head of Collections, Hugh Lane Gallery, in conversation, while John Carson joins longtime friend and fellow artist Sean Lynch, as they consider the effects that the mythic and monumental figure of Beuys had--and didn't have--on young artists studying across Ireland in 1974. These discussions take place in the context of the exhibition, Joseph Beuys: From the Secret Block to Rosc at Hugh Lane Gallery from July 2021 to January 2022. The exhibition reflects on Beuys’ relationship to Ireland, where he saw Irish myth, literature and landscape as sources for cultural renewal and healing, and includes three blackboards that Beuys drew on during his lecture at Hugh Lane Gallery. It also features photographs by Caroline Tisdall, who documented this event and many of Beuys’ Irish excursions. As part of the celebration of the centenary of the birth of Joseph Beuys, Goethe-Institut Ireland and Hugh Lane Gallery have collaborated on an ongoing programme of talks, screenings and events. "The Irish Blackboards: Reflections on Joseph Beuys' 1974 Visit to Ireland" Podcast produced and edited by Kimberly Griffith Walsh as part of the Hugh Lane Gallery’s Education programme.

Salmagundi (n.) –
A gathering together of disparate things or people; a miscellany; a potpourri
We are a community of individuals and families from diverse backgrounds united by a desire to forge lasting and meaningful connections through creative endeavours. In an increasingly polarised and uncertain world, we celebrate difference, embrace change, and hold space for the voices of the many rather than the few. We believe passionately in the potential of collaborative and participative arts practices to transform and sustain us individually and collectively, and we are committed to making real our shared vision of a transcultural society founded on mutual respect, equity and inclusion.

Salmagundi: The Project
This project, conceived and facilitated by filmmaker Jijo Sebastian, and commissioned by Hugh Lane Gallery and Create, began in April 2023. The aim of the project was two-fold: to bring a culturally diverse group of people together to make a feature-length collaborative film and, through this process, to create a transcultural community which would outlive the film and go on to engage in other creative endeavours.
Over the course of the following 18 months, participants - most of whom had no prior experience of scriptwriting, acting or film-making - met in person and online to collaboratively workshop ideas, write scripts, rehearse, and shoot a feature-length film made up of six loosely connected segments dealing with issues of importance to members of the community. Outside of the film, participants met socially for shared meals, trips together to cultural events, the beach, bowling, and the theatre.
The collaborative film alongside a 'process room' will be on display at Hugh Lane Gallery from 3 November 2024 – 5 January 2025 and captures the journey through the highs and lows of making collaborative art and the challenges of trying to build an authentically transcultural community.

Barbara Dawson in conversation with Perry Ogden: Peter Beard

Hugh Lane Gallery has an exceptional history centred around the ground-breaking vision of Sir Hugh Lane himself. He established the gallery in Dublin in 1908 and it is the oldest extant public gallery of modern art in Europe. 

One of the earliest collectors of Impressionism in Ireland or the U.K., part of the collection of Irish and international art Sir Hugh presented includes superb examples of paintings by Manet, Renoir, Monet, Degas and Morisot. He was also an early champion of contemporary Irish art and organised the first ever exhibition of Irish Art abroad in London, in 1904, to tremendous success. 

Since its foundation, the gallery has played a leading role in Irish cultural life. In 1977, the Gallery hosted the ROSC international exhibition and has embedded in its collections works from the series of ROSC exhibitions. ( see https://www.rte.ie/archives/2017/1024/914858-rosc-77-the-poetry-of-vision/)

Over the last century, the legacy of gifting the exceptional has significantly enhanced this great collection. This includes the Lady Lavery Memorial Bequest through Sir John Lavery 1935 which provides us with a unique visual history of the birth of Modern Ireland. More recently, in 1998, gallery director Barbara Dawson secured the donation of the studio and archive of Francis Bacon, born in Dublin in 1909, from his heir John Edwards and Brian Clarke. The gallery subsequently acquired six paintings from the artist’s Estate
In celebration of the opening of the gallery’s new wing in 2006, Dubliner Sean Scully presented the gallery with a superb collection of his work which is on display in the Sean Scully gallery.
The Gallery continues to focus on modern and contemporary art and is a lead supporter of excellence in Irish art practice. 
Hugh Lane Gallery is part of Dublin City Council
