"There's beauty all around, and these guys are dying, but then there's airplanes going over [...] That’s why I make these paintings, to draw the line under that difference."
In 2019, artist Brian Maguire visited Dr. Greg Hess, Chief Medical Examiner for Pima County, Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Hess gave the artist access to some thousand visual records of migrant lives lost in the crossing from South and Central America and Mexico, into the United States. Selecting from this photographic source, the artist began a new series of paintings, acknowledging the many unidentified victims who undertook this perilous journey and resulting in REMAINS, Maguire's current exhibition at Crawford Art Gallery.
Join us for a live 'in conversation' event exploring issues of migration, displacement and human dignity at Crawford Art Gallery with Brian Maguire and Nuala Finnegan on Thursday 18 November.
Professor Nuala Finnegan is head of the Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at University College Cork.

A Public Talk on the Influence of the Netherlands on Cork City in the Seventeenth & Eighteenth Centuries
The talk explored the Dutch influences on Cork's built environment, history, architecture, and cultural life in the eighteenth century. Historian Dr Tom Spalding shared his research, exploring the layered histories of the heart of our city. This event accompanied the exhibition Rembrandt in Print.
The Crawford Art Gallery is housed in what was once the city’s custom house, which witnessed the trade partnership with the Netherlands. Salted beef, pork and butter were supplied from our safe harbour to the Dutch West Indies and the ports of Holland.
Tom is a writer and historian, the author of several books on design history. His book Layers was praised by the Irish Arts Review as ‘expertly researched, deftly written …a worthy addition to the growing body of literature on Irish design history.’
All that is, is Light, directed by Pat Collins, will have a special screening at Crawford Art Gallery. Funded by an Arts Council of Ireland Film Project Award, 'All that is, is Light' uses a range of formats; film, HD and DV to create a contemporary archive of the commonplace - a personal diary film of sorts.
Ireland's first and largest film festival, the Cork International Film Festival returns for its 66th edition from 5th to 21st Nov 2021. It will be a blended festival, with in-cinema screenings 5th - 12th and a digital festival 13th - 21st. Browse & book your tickets now at corkfilmfest.org or via the myCIFF app! #CIFF2021

We are delighted to announce the winners of our Flash Fiction challenge in partnership with Cork City Libraries. Cork author Danielle McLaughlin created a playful postcard of writing prompts inspired by the exhibition Menagerie: Animals by Artists in the Crawford Art Gallery.
Danielle McLaughlin’s novel is called The Art Of Falling and it is the chosen book for Cork City Libraries’ One City One Book initiative. It revolves around a fictional sculptor, while artworks inspired by animals thread through her narrative.
A filmed conversation between Danielle and writer Alannah Hopkin on animals in art is freely available to watch from home at
https://crawfordartgallery.ie/once-city-one-book/.
Participants used the prompts to jump-start their own short fiction. The lucky winners won a free signed copy of The Art of Falling, One City One Book choice, 2021.
Below are the lucky winners' entries:

A strange electron at rest got on a chariot at twilight and rode forward in time. Another self-confident positron mounted a hawk and flew backward in time. They met near a meadow and gazed forward to see themselves in each other. Richard Feynman woke up after he had this dream, went to his desk and wrote the equations down.
Ian O’Neill
But to answer your question, Tia, no. I don’t need your duvet. It’s winter. To be fair, you took “cold” literally. I won’t beat you for it. Nothing wrong with being a little literal. It’s a strange old circus. This new city. I can’t find my real reflection in the basin or the bath anymore. My mirror says the most obscene things! This new city. It’s some such other type of “cold” I meant. Don’t worry. I must rest my-self. Take that as literally as you may.
Signing off,
Keep warm.
Emily Gash
When the winter came, it was cold and dark. A peasant shepherd was finding it hard to feed his family and they were starving. One day the shepherd whose name was Joe decided enough was enough. So, Joe went to see the king. He loaded up his cart and set out. On the way he heard a strange noise, suddenly, he saw a fair??? Now that was strange! He decided to investigate it so off he went. Now, I think you’ll have remembered that Joe has completely forgotten about his family. Luckily, Joe had left them all of the food stores phew! So as Joe went to investigate the fair, a huge eagle swooped him and dropped him in its nest and made him feed her chicks. So, Joe is still there.
Marie Gethins
You fly, trailing seaweed like a veil. Escape winter snow and ice. A cruel landscape. The water swallows worry, doubt, each wave a caress, rinse the domestic and fill the space, calm, calm, in the mauve twilight you reach towards the depths and beckoning moonfish.
Anne Pia
And she trawled the landscape of self, where winter had settled and sought rest. She was a strange kingdom she discovered, of evil beasts, and many moonfish that caught the light; or Jupiter even, the greatest planet of them all.
Antonia Marin Motos
“Unforgettable winter evening”
All started with indecision: tiredness and laziness were the main reasons to avoid an active and lively night. Positivity, thinking of entertaining the present moment, and living out my opportunities lead me to get ready after enjoying a tasty moonfish with seaweed for dinner. I had gone to the Circus Gallery before, but never during this special night of the year. A strange moment occurred on the second floor; I was going upstairs when I was all of a sudden transported back to the Kingdom of my origins. The music was a beast that stopped me, to stand there, unblinkingly. Classical Flamenco music was being played; it made me feel everything inside of me. A guitarist - unknown to me - was playing, and in that moment everything around me stopped. I only had ears and eyes for him and his music. Since that night I realised that it doesn’t matter where and when I am: what matters is enjoying every landscape I decide to take part in.
Christina Hynes
At twilight, the moonfish peaked out at the winter landscape. She saw a shepherd guarding his beasts. The shepherd, pausing for a rest, noticed a hawk swoop majestically down, gather a moonfish in her talons and fly away, into the cold winter night.
Joe Power
He paused to rest his beasts of burden hauling a cart of seaweed to the meadows field. In the winter twilight a grass big top. Nestled in the bowl of the old quarry. A hawk hovered in the distant landscape. Smoke rose from a domestic habitat. Time to move he said to himself. No moon fish in his load.
Fiona Ní Chonchubhaile
The winter shepherd rested his cart in the twilight. Then it appeared, as he had hoped, he realised. Moving its wings silently the hawk landed and allowed the shepherd to slip the baby onto its back.

This gallery space has been transformed into a Print Studio to complement the exhibition Rembrandt in Print.
Through the work of four contemporary artists, and presented in collaboration with Cork Printmakers, Print Studio provides an overview of key printmaking techniques that existed in – or have developed since – the time of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). Associated materials, printing presses, and examples of etching, relief print, lithography, and screenprint are displayed alongside specially made video profiles that enrich our sense of what is involved in printmaking today.
We would like to particularly thank Deirdre McKenna, Fiona Kelly, Dominic Fee, Emma O’Hara, Peter McMorris, John Beasley, Jennifer O’Sullivan, Maeve Lynch, and Aideen Quirke for their collaboration in realising Print Studio.
Established in 1991, Cork Printmakers is a professional print studio, gallery and resource organisation providing artists with facilities and equipment to create artwork through the medium of print. Located at Wandesford Quay in the heart of Cork City it supports and promotes the creation and development of new work through their studios, exhibitions, events, and education programme, promoting the highest standards of practice in printmaking.
@corkprintmakers
Etching is part of the intaglio family of techniques, intaglio meaning “to incise”. Etching uses acid to make marks on a metal plate. The plate is covered with an acid resistant coating and the image is drawn using a sharp needle to scrape through the ground, exposing the plate. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath: the areas of exposed plate (the drawn areas) are bitten back by the acid. The characteristics of the marks produced depend on several factors: the tool used to draw the image, the type of ground used to coat the surface of the plate (hard or soft ground), and the length of time the plate is left in the acid bath.
Aquatint is an etching method introduced in the mid-seventeenth century to create a more subtle tonal range.
Deirdre McKenna works across painting and printmaking, with a focus on etching and aquatint. Influenced by the maritime community of her native Dingle, her work deals with the cultures and traditions of this place and their position in contemporary settings.
@deirdremckennaart
Relief printing is a generic term used to describe methods in which the raised areas of the printing plate are inked and printed. It includes linocut and woodblock techniques.
Linocut uses a linoleum block, a material that is easily carved using simple knives and gouges. Woodblock (or woodcut) is one of the oldest and simplest forms of printmaking. Various implements, both hand tools and power tools, are used to cut an image into a block of wood. Both involve inking raised or uncarved areas with a roller and then impressing onto paper, or fabric, either by hand or with a printing press.
Fiona Kelly is a visual artist whose practice primarily investigates demolition and ecology. Her work explores the architectural potential of re-appropriated materials in a state of rejection: waste concrete from demolition sites, recycled glass, cardboard, plywood, bitumen, and limestone dust. Kelly utilises sculpture, installation, and printmaking in her practice.
@freerangedfiona
Lithography is based on the resistance of grease and water. An image is drawn on a smooth limestone. The surface is then treated with resin and talc and covered in gum arabic and nitric acid, which ‘fixes’ the image. The stone is cleaned down with a solvent leaving a greasy image of the drawing. It is then dampened with water and rolled with ink. The greasy image repels water and holds the oily ink while the rest of the stone’s surface does the opposite. The printing is accomplished in a press similar to that used in intaglio processes.
Dominic Fee is visual artist and educator with a particular interest in collaborative projects. His work comprises printmaking, mixed-media sculpture, moving image, and site-specific installation, and has been exhibited both in Ireland and internationally.
@dominicfeeart
Screenprint uses a screen that consists of a synthetic mesh, which has been stretched tightly over a metal or wooden frame. A stencil is then applied to the mesh, and the stencilled image is printed by forcing ink or paint, using a squeegee, through the exposed parts of the stencil and mesh onto paper. The areas beneath the stencil remain un-inked.
Emma O’Hara is a visual artist working in photography, collage, and screenprint who takes inspiration from everyday encounters with landscape, architecture, and the urban environment. Deconstructing her surroundings, she then rebuilds them through the use of collage-based printmaking to highlight environments through a new lens. O’Hara’s work explores the relationship between mankind and the natural environment.

Join artists Laura Fitzgerald and John Strutton for a live talk that will take the form of a “crit” (critical review) of her exhibition I have made a place.
Laura Fitzgerald has created a place in the gallery – a smallholding – using drawing, sound, a new video and a story that conjures a restless figure who is obsessed with cutting turf.
Laura Fitzgerald: I have made a place is the third exhibition in Crawford Art Gallery’s artist-directed programme, which aims to platform the development of an artist’s career, support their current research interests, and connect with audiences through a collaboration with Crawford Art Gallery, its site, and collections.

Join artist Doug Fishbone and curator Dawn Williams for an engaging conversation exploring the artist’s recent projects and practice on the occasion of his solo exhibition ‘Please Gamble Responsibly’ at Crawford Art Gallery, Cork.
About this event
In 2019 Doug travelled to Carrigtwohill, a small town to the East Cork and 'saw a half-finished apartment building left derelict for a decade - a ’ghost estate’ - with boarded-up windows, street lamps illuminating an empty road that led nowhere’ (The Guardian, 14 July 2021).
Fishbone has recreated a vast structure of fragments of the ‘Castlelake’ apartment complex inside the Crawford Art Gallery - fabricated by stage-set builders - serving as a metaphor for the for the ’smoke and mirrors’ financial system which the complex - and society - has fallen victim to. Inside, Fishbone presents a stand-up comedic, surreal light-hearted short film on the inequities of the financial system, the role of money on the housing and rental markets and how we ended up in this mess.
Based in film and performance work, Doug Fishbone’s practice is wide-ranging and has been described as a ‘stand-up conceptual artist’. Recent exhibitions and performances include: Jews, Money, Myth, Jewish Museum, London; Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival (2019); No Thanks/Thanksgiving, Hauser and Wirth, Somerset, European Media Art Platform, Werleitz/Halle, TATE Modern ‘Writing Photographs Symposium’ (2018); Yinka Shonibare’s Artist Dining Room, Royal Academy, London, Boomin’ Bus Tours, Look Again Festival, Aberdeen (2016); Made in China, Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, Doug Fishbone’s Leisure Land Golf, 56th Venice Biennale (2015).
This pre-recorded conversation includes a live online introduction, followed by a Q&A with Doug Fishbone and Dawn Williams.

This plaster cast represents the muscular fragment of an ancient heroic sculpture. The remaining broken physique is hypermasculine and has been identified by some as that of Heracles (Hercules). Lacking arms, lower legs, and a head, it is also a body that has been queered by time.
In the mythology of Ancient Greece, Heracles is a divine hero known to have taken male lovers – including Abderus, Hylas, Nireus, and Polystratus – subordinate eromenoi to his active role as erastes. Existing in the culture of the time, homosexual relationships of this kind have been more recently explored in the novel, The Song of Achilles (2011), by Madeline Miller.

Aphrodite was the Ancient Greek goddess of beauty, love, and sexuality. Through her relationship with Hermes, the messenger god of boundaries and fertility, she bore the intersex child, Hermaphroditus.
Aphrodite appears in the poetry of Sappho of Lesbos. Prolific in her literary output, the ancient lyric poet is known for such poems as “Ode to Aphrodite”. Over time, her work has come to be associated with female same-sex desire and love and has given rise to the modern words sapphic and lesbian.
In contemporary culture, the flag for Lesbian Pride includes a double Venus symbol – Venus being Aphrodite’s equivalent in Ancient Roman mythology.

Cork-born Fiona Shaw is a BAFTA and Olivier Award-winning actor of screen and stage, known for her roles in The Butcher Boy, Three Men and a Little Lady, The Last September, and as Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter films. She has been Emmy-nominated for her performances in Fleabag and Killing Eve.
In 2020, Shaw starred in Ammonite, a film in which she plays an old lover of Kate Winslet’s lead character. Rather than thinking there was no evidence for a relationship between these historical figures, Shaw notes that “we have no evidence for their not having a relationship.” This allowed the actors scope to explore and surmise. “The normality of sexuality in the private sphere, before it was exposed and judged and quantified, which is a twentieth-century phenomenon, may well have been the situation.”
In 2018, Shaw married her wife, the Sri Lankan economist Sonali Deraniyagala.

Created in the aftermath of a residency in Shanghai, with this work the artist sought to highlight “the millions of ‘Tongqui/Tongfu’ currently living in China. The term refers to homosexuals married to opposite sex partners because of an obligation to continue the family name or simply to avoid suspicion of being homosexual or for any number of personal or political reasons.”
Deep in thought, the figure balances and perhaps reflects on what might have been if circumstances were different.
Actor and writer Stephen Fry has described Doyle’s work as being “part of a tragically necessary resistance movement,” particularly at a time when anti-LGBTQ+ laws continue to be enacted: “Gays are becoming bellwethers, early warning beacons, alerting us to humanity’s direction of travel.”
Purchased, Royal Ulster Academy, 2020

As its Irish language title indicates (My name is Dylan), this portrait of seventeen-year-old Dylan explores contemporary concerns with self-identity in Ireland.
The setting is near Dylan’s home in Lucan, County Dublin. The combination of landscape and oil paint echo heritage and tradition, yet the bold neon implies an ‘otherness’. Of this the artist notes: “this juxtaposition is not unlike how queer culture has developed outside wider society.”
Shortlisted for the Zurich Portrait Prize 2018, this work is thought to be the first to enter the national collection that openly discusses transgender identity.
Stephen Doyle is a visual artist whose works addresses queer identity and queer culture. The artist hopes that “any transgender individual who sees the work will be able to connect with it and know that they belong.”
Presented for the Transgender Community in Ireland, 2019

This painting was purchased in 1807 by Cooper Penrose of Cork at a Christie’s auction in London. The proceeds of the sale enabled the youngest child of the artist’s sister to attend Edinburgh Medical School. To do so, Margaret Ann Bulkley from Merchant’s Quay assumed the guise of ‘James Miranda Steuart Barry’ and presented as male for the rest of their life. Dr Barry became a noted military surgeon, served in Cape Town, Jamaica, Saint Helena, and Corfu, and rose to the rank of Inspector General.
We will never know if Dr James Barry would have identified themself as transgender, but they left instructions on their death for no post-mortem to be carried out. This was presumably so that their gender identity was never questioned. We therefore use the gender-neutral pronouns they/them out of respect.

Born in Douglas, Robinson was first inspired to become a playwright by attending Abbey Theatre productions of the plays of Lady Augusta Gregory and W.B. Yeats in the neighbouring Cork Opera House.
Although he married artist and theatre designer Dorothy ‘Dolly’ Travers Smith in 1931, their marriage was an unhappy one. This is perhaps owing to Robinson’s homosexuality and alcoholism. Homosexuality was, at the time, criminalised under Irish law and remained so until 1993. As such, the ability for LGBTQ+ people to live authentically was not only limited, but in many instances impossible. This led many queer people – like the writer Kate O’Brien – to emigrate, yet actors Hilton Edwards and Micheál Mac Liammóir navigated such restrictions. They founded the Gate Theatre, which led some to nickname it and the Abbey Theatre as ‘Sodom and Begorrah’.

Misunderstood for decades, Hennessy has recently been repositioned by Seán Kissane (Irish Museum of Modern Art) as an important Irish queer artist. Traces of queer culture and homosexual identity may be found encoded within many of the artist’s works.
In this self-portrait painted late in life, the artist depicts himself with ‘his trademark dark glasses’ as a photograph in a catalogue that has been propped on a shelf or table. His gaze may be focused on the photo-realistic cat which may represent his younger, agile self, while a half-peeled orange may suggest the passage of time.
Hennessy met fellow artist Henry Robertson Craig while attending Dundee School of Art. Separated from each other during the Second World War, they reunited in 1946 and remained together until Hennessy died in 1980.
Purchased, 1979 (Arts Council/An Comhairle Ealaíon & Crawford Art Gallery)

Dating to c.1776, this painting “is a complex allegorical work that combines classical mythology, the politics of Barry’s day, and a strong autobiographical subtext.”
A masterpiece of the collection, it featured in Expulsion (2020), a recent exhibition from Kevin Gaffney in the gallery’s artist-directed programme. It was created as the practical component in the artist’s PhD research project, Resisting Homonormativity in Queer Filmmaking Practice, at Ulster University. The film Expulsion has recently been acquired for the National Collection and will be screened in the future.
Barry’s painting, and this room, also form the backdrop to Gaffney’s short video work, Retelling: Dr. James Miranda Barry and John Joseph Danson.

To attend the event simply visit our YouTube page to watch the livestream: https://youtu.be/KoOxzwaaMic
Alternatively, you can pre-register via our Facebook Event to receive reminders and updates in advance.
Dara McGrath’s photographs explore in-between places where the landscape and built environments often intersect and where a dialogue – of absence rather than presence – is created. His practice is driven by overlooked human interruptions in urban, suburban and rural contexts. Tanya Kiang is the Director and Co-Curator of the Gallery of Photography, Ireland’s leading centre for contemporary photography.
