booksmart
Curated by Joshua Rios
Okay Mountain, Austin, Texas
Nov 7 – Dec 12 2009

Okay Mountain proudly presents "booksmart," a group exhibition featuring
works by Joshua Callaghan, Gareth Long, Neva Elliott, Heman Chong, Anthony
Romero, William Hundley, and Erick Michaud. "booksmart" deals with
artistic outputs that re-order, deconstruct, or alter the book as a
cultural system, either for critique, humor, formal investigation, or all
three. Although the artists in "booksmart" have an interest in the book as
a catalyst for imaginative thinking, they are by no means limited to this
particular interest. "booksmart" includes and excludes certain types of
artistic production in order to communicate a specific narrative that
relates to the cultural phenomenon of the book as an intellectual
structure.

Accumulator
Curated by Amanda Coogan
Visual Centre for Contemporary Art, Carlow.
Inaugual programme, Sept 24 – Dec 2009

Accumulator is a series of live durational performance pieces curated by
Amanda Coogan. There will be six performances by six artists, including
the curator, who will open the programme. Each artist will be required to
deal with the detritus of the previous artist's work, hence the title,
Accumulator. Also part of the exhibition will be short audio-visual
gallery works as well as recorded footage of previous performances as the
show progresses over the three month period. This exhibition will bring
together some of the exceptional practitioners in performance art from
Ireland and abroad. Included are senior figures of Irish performance
practice Alastair MacLennan and Brian Connolly as well as younger
generation of practitioners Declan Rooney and Neva Elliot, both Carlow
artists currently living in Berlin and London respectively. Completing the
line-up is Yinmei Duan, a Chinese artist who has built a strong
international reputation. The exhibition will serve not only as an
overview of a potent practice in the visual arts but will be flagging new
directions in presentation and collaborative practice in the visual arts
in Ireland.

Sat Oct 3rd - Neva Elliot, 2pm - 8pm
Broken Hearts United by Neva Elliott is a performative work taking an
individual private process and making it public and collective through
setting up a club open day.

Unrealised projects Vol. 4
Guest curated by Josh Love in collaboration with Sam Ely and Lynn Harris.
B-Sides and Rarities, Lokaal 01 in Breda, Netherlands
September 20- December 12 2009

'The theme for Volume 4 centres on an exchange of moral rights, production
roles, obligation, and the notion of realising unrealised works. Over the
next few months and through a discursive production program, each work is
to be readdressed as 'realisable' for the limited duration of an
exhibition that will occur later in the year. With a discursive, practical
and legal approach to the interpretation of your project's ideas, we aim
to focus on the artist's intellectual property rights and producer's moral
rights when developing projects collaboratively. Traceable similarities
between unrealised works will become apparent within the production of
Volume 4 projects, and be made visible in the exhibition of them. The
framing of volumes on Unrealised Projects as separate entities is to be
shifted in an exhibition platform that relates unrealised projects both
spatially and in productional development. This project seeks to license
the copyright for the production of each artist's work to be represented
spatially. Unrealised Projects and Josh Love will hold equal share in the
licensed copy of production for this period of time and in turn offer the
labour, funding and platform for the work to be shown.'

Sligo Local

Elliott Harris
Feb - Oct 2009

Sligo Local is a project through the local arts community in and around
Sligo, Ireland.
We're interested in generating support systems and means to facilitate the
self management and empowerment of artistic practice. Specifically our
approach looks at how discussion, collaborative engagement, artist-led
activity and networks offer the kind of non-hierarchical support that
grows a practice naturally.
Through a series of discussions and meetings we have engaged local artists
with the goal of creating an tools and platforms designed to serve the
community. Please see www.elliottharris.org news section for updates on
the project
