BUILD SOMETHING MODERN AT TRISKEL CORK - 10 July - 12 July

2011-07-06T22:40:00.001+01:00

We are really delighted that our latest feature documentary is showing in Cork at the Triskel Arts Center from Sunday 10 July - Tuesday 12 July

"Directors Gogan and Rowley unearth a strange cross-cultural architectural mash-up between Ireland and Africa". Irish Times ****

"Build Something Modern finds Irish fingerprints in unlikely places. Slyly, the film-makers set up a complex tangle of post-colonial ironies using small, evocative images". Irish Times ****

"The documentary utilizes an extraordinary fusion of visually rich images... skillfully blended together to provide a rich, illuminating and coherent narrative" Film Ireland

Build Something Modern tells the story of a lost canon of Irish architecture. The film reveals the surprising and untold history about the adventurous architects who began their career in Africa and went on to become some of Ireland's most significant architectural figureheads. Between the 1950s and 1970s, young architects travelled to Africa for creative freedom during an era of relative cultural conservatism at home, while others designed buildings from Ireland that they themselves would never see in their completed form in Africa. The film travels back to the 1950s, to a still largely colonial Africa where the Irish missionary movement was at its height, and traces the story of the buildings through the devastating impact of wars that destroyed many of the structures right through to the present day.

Reworking stunning imagery from both the personal archives of the architects and recruitment films made by the missionary orders, the film encompasses Still Films unique visual and storytelling style. Build Something Modernis a touching and revealing film about the special relationship between architects and the structures they create. Accompanied by an evocative soundtrack which establishes connections between memory and construction, the film is as much a study of the effect time has on the mind as on physical structures. Build Something Modern is a meaningful portrait both of the lives of spaces as well as those of the people that create them.

Build Something Modern is a Reel Art film funded by the Arts Council. The film is directed by Nicky Gogan and Paul Rowley (Seaview, The Rooms) and produced by Maya Derrington (Pyjama Girls) with Original Concept & Research by Dr. Lisa Godson

Build something Modern was premiered at JDIFF last February where Still Films were awarded the Dublin Critic's Choice Discovery Award for new talent. You can purchase tickets online at: https://triskelarts.ticketsolve.com/shows/126517027/events

Build Something Modern is a Reel Art film funded by the Arts Council/
An Chomhairle EalaÌon. The film is directed by Nicky Gogan and Paul
Rowley (Seaview, the Rooms) and produced by Maya Derrington (Pyjama
Girls).

Build Something Modern tells the story of a hidden canon of Irish
architecture - groundbreaking young architects who pushed the
boundaries of Irish design, With surprisingly little recognition at
home. Between the 1950's and 1970's adventurous architects, eager to
be among the first Irish modernists, travelled to Africa for
excitement and creative freedom. At the same time other Irish
architects, fresh out of university, were given the opportunity to
design modern buildings in Africa, but remarkably never got to see
the finished constructions.

These structures - churches, seminaries, hospitals and schools - were
for the most part built as part of a massive community effort. They
were co-ordinated by the Catholic missionaries, often without a
contractor and with the architect mostly absent. Build Something
Modern reveals a surprising and untold history about these people and
their innovative creations. We travel back to the 1950s, when
colonies were still in place, through the atrocities of numerous wars
where many of the structures were destroyed, right up to present day
Nigeria.

Reworking stunning imagery from both the personal archives of the
architects and recruitment films made by the missions, the film
encompasses Still Films unique visual and storytelling style. Build
Something Modern is a touching and revealing film about people and
the special relationship with the things they create as they reflect
on it many years later.

Istvan Laszlo "Untitled (Revolution 89)" at Wilkinson Gallery London

2009-02-23T11:26:00.002Z

Istvan Laszlo's new animation Untitled (Revolution 89) will be showing at the Wilkinson Gallery in London as part of a group show of Romanian artists from the Plan B art space in Cluj.

www.wilkinsongallery.com

Untitled (Revolution 89)
The video work is based on an anonymous photograph that was taken in December 1989 during the Romanian revolution against the Communist regime in Bucharest. By reconstructing this historical image well stocked in our collective consciousness, the filmmaker is analyzing the way that a fabricated image can reconfigure our relationship to historical truth.
Directed by Istvan Laszlo
Produced by Nicky Gogan

Track Changes at Wilkinson Gallery
28 February - 9 April 2009
Project Space
Wilkinson is pleased to announce a project space exhibition by Romanian artist-run space 'Plan B'. The exhibition brings together recent works by the three members of the group SUPERNOVA, active in Cluj between 2001-2004. SUPERNOVA's presence on the Romanian art scene contributed to a significant shift in tone and artistic attitude, away from the melancholy look of the post-Wall generation, repeatedly defining the East as non-West, as absence or lack, and the West as surplus, and puzzling over this in-built incompatibility. Alongside other new voices, Ciprian Muresan, Cristi Pogacean, and Istvan Laszlo engage the recent past of Eastern Europe as an occasion to extricate the very notion of history from ideological falsification, to bind it up with personal experience, conceptual accident and the history of art. In their collective and individual projects, history appears as a network of conflicting timelines, while the ways in which globalization and post-communism endlessly complicate each other are observed from a perspective immune to the utopias of revolution or liberalism.
Ciprian Muresan's video 'Choose...', part of a significant body of work dealing with the father-son relationship, sees Vlad Muresan mixing Pepsi and Coca-Cola in a glass. The child's prank rings, in the context of Muresan's practice, pre-apocalyptic: a glimpse of the moment when carefully marketed differences merge in the same viscous paste, a rehearsal for the collapse of identities. Another work by Muresan is situated in a dreamlike interval between wars, as an extended recollection of the previous one and a monotonous preparation for the next. For one excruciating hour, soldiers peel potatoes, silently yet stubbornly interrogating geopolitical strategies, ideological unrest and the clashes of civilizations.
Istvan Laszlo and Cristi Pogacean engage history the way monuments do, proceeding by extreme, effective simplification. Pogacean's 'Modernist Bird House', collapsing Mies van der Rohe and St. Francis of Assisi and pairing the Modernist effort to regulate life with its systematic irrationality, or Laszlo's manipulation of a propaganda image, showing the political leader drowsing off into irrelevance - these works isolate and modify bits of history in what feels like a simulator for alternative flows of time.
In Pogacean's 'Caranime', Caravaggio's 'Doubting Thomas' becomes a lesson of anatomy, as the repeated gesture of incredulity and physical testing disrupts the event, introducing a deferral in the revelation of Truth and its acceptance. In another work, Istvan reflects on the fact that 'the first revolution broadcast live on television' did not lead to a 'film', to a director's cut, but to a profusion of making-of features and DVD bonuses, divested of denouement or resolution.
Plan B is an artist-run space set up in Cluj, Romania in 2005 which focuses on Romanian art of the past 50 years. In 2007 Plan B organized the Romanian Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale with Victor Man as curator and Cristi Pogacean among the artists exhibited, and have recently set up a second space in Berlin, Germany.

LEEDS FILM FESTIVAL

2008-11-17T17:17:00.002Z

SEAVIEW just screened at the Leeds Film Festival. And the programmers wrote this great synopsis for the film.

Mesmerising, cinematic and with an awesome sense of atmosphere, Seaview takes us on an almost Lynchian tour of a former Butlins holiday camp, now the 'home' for hundreds of refugees awaiting replies to appeals for asylum, some for 5 years. A superb human rights documentary which puts us inside the security patrolled grounds of this surreal world of waiting so that just for 82 minutes we might get some idea of the daily existence of thousands who live imprisoned in order to hopefully be free.

SEAVIEW AT THE IFI THIS SUNDAY

'IRELAND ON SUNDAY' SERIES AT THE IFI CONTINUES WITH 'SEAVIEW', A LOOK INSIDE MOSNEY, FORMERLY BUTLINS, NOW AN IMMIGRATION HOLDING CENTRE ON SUNDAY 20th^TH JULY 2008 AT 1PM

Over a three year period, filmmakers Nicky Gogan and Paul Rowley and sound artist Dennis MacNulty visited Mosney, formerly a Butlin's Holiday Camp. The film chronicles the static lives of the centre's occupants as they wait, in some cases for years, for the government to process their claims. Disembodied voices tell grueling tales of persecution and exile over images of the camp's faded seaside glamour.

Selected for this year's Berlin Film Festival Forum and garnering great critical acclaim since, this Ireland on Sunday screening offers Dublin audiences a chance to see this highly innovative new work. Sunniva O'Flynn announcing the screening said 'Seaview, seen here for the first time outside the festival circuit, is a fine example of the kind of work which will feature in Ireland on Sunday. The film gives voice to the disenfranchised and is a fascinating example of how changes in Irish society are being explored and processed by film-making artists.'

Ireland on Sunday is a new strand of programming at the IFI which offers audiences and film-makers an opportunity to engage with new Irish work. Film artists Nicky Gogan and Dennis MacNulty will join the audience for a post-screening Q & A.

Seaview - Part of the IFI Ireland on Sunday Series

SEAVIEW review in The Wall Street Journal

2008-02-19T11:20:00.002Z

The Berlin Film Festival's Forum section specializes in avant-garde films and works by new directors....Another powerful documentary is from Ireland, "Seaview," co-directed by Paul Rowley, an installation artist, and Nicky Gogan. Set in a former holiday camp near Dublin, the film chronicles the static lives of the camp's present occupants: asylum seekers from around the world, waiting - in some cases, for years - for the Irish government to process their claims. With an artist's eye, and with the help of an eerie electronic soundtrack, the filmmakers are able to combine the abstract quality of a video installation with the urgent stories of the people they interview.
