Ballinasloe-based artist collective Group 8 will hold the opening of its annual
exhibition, EIGHT, on Culture Night, Friday the 23</span><sup style="text-align: justify;">rd</sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> September, at

the result of collaborative work the members of Group 8 undertook, taking
inspiration from the figure 8 itself, its symbolism and meaning; from the idea of the number eight as
representing infinity; and/or from working within the parameters of producing eight
pieces of work. As always, each artist or writer was free to interpret the
theme in whatever way they chose.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Group 8,
founded in 2009, and no</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">w expanded from its original cohort of eight members, is
comprised of ten visual artists and two writers. They are: Joyce Little – visual
and multimedia artist; Tommy Campbell – sculptor and woodturner; Lily Kelly –
visual artist; Grellan Ganly – visual artist; Úna Spain – visual artist; Nuala
O’Connor – writer; Zara Little-Campbell – writer; John Soden – painter; Walter
Coughlan – ceramicist; and Fiona Ormsby – textile designer. The group recently welcomed a brand new member, painter Fiona Moore.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Group 8 is
a non-profit, professional arts group who came together in Ballinasloe to foster awareness,
imagination and co-operative learning between the artist and the community. The
group hosts exhibitions, literary events, artist talks, readings, workshops,
and book launches.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">All are
welcome to the opening and to visit the exhib across the two days. Free admission.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">LEONARDO
500 is the result of collaborative work the members of Group 8 undertook, taking
inspiration from the life, art and ideas of Italian painter, inventor and
literal Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was an extraordinary
thinker, responsible for the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and designs for the
first flying machine, parachute, and machine gun. Sigmund Freud said of him, ‘He
was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all
still asleep.’ </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Dublin-based writer <a href="http://nessaomahony.com/">Nessa O’Mahony</a> is the next guest in artist collective Group 8’s Art & Words
series of talks in Ballinasloe. She will appear at Gullane’s Hotel, Ballinasloe,
on International Women’s Day, Friday March 8<sup>th</sup> at 7pm. Nessa will
give a reading from her début crime novel <i>The
Branchman</i> and she will be interviewed by Group 8 member, Nuala O’Connor. Admission
is free. Refreshments will be served.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nessa’s novel</span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The Branchman</i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> was published in late
2018 by Arlen House. Set in Ballinasloe in 1925, it features Detective Michael
Mackey, ex-British Army and Civil War veteran and one of the first members of
the Free State’s new elite Special Branch. Mackey is assigned to the Garda
Barracks in Ballinasloe and uncovers a plot by subversives to disrupt the
peace. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">The novel is inspired by the real-life adventures of Nessa’s
grandfather, Michael McCann, who was a member of the original Special Branch
and was stationed as a Garda in Ballinasloe from 1929 to 1945.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Donal Ryan has described the novel as ‘a taut
and absorbing thriller’ while writing in the </span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Irish Times</i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">, Declan Burke said that ‘most fascinating, perhaps, is
O’Mahony’s evocation of the wider political backdrop, that fragile, imperfect
peace that took hold in the wake of the War of Independence and the Civil War.’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nuala O’Connor’s novel,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Becoming Belle,</i> follows the fortunes of
music hall actress Isabel Bilton, who was the last Countess Clancarty to occupy
Garbally Court in Ballinasloe. It’s a witty and inherently feminist novel about
passion and marriage, set in Victorian London and Ireland, and will delight
anyone familiar with Ballinasloe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

heart. The exhibition will feature paintings, photography, felted textiles, ceramics,
mixed media and sculpture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wood-Sullivan is a multidisciplinary artist whose main focus is painting. Her
work is rooted in an interest in ancient history, language, storytelling,
philosophy and symbols. She also draws influence from the sciences, and has a
keen interest in physics and the natural world. There is an undeniable
influence of science fiction incorporated into much of her imagery.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Re-occurring animal motifs, common to many
cultures, are used symbolically to represent humanity as a whole within the
overall context of humankind’s place in the universe.</span></span></div>

We had a great night on Friday at Tosnú Art & Craft Gallery's studio for our second Art & Words talk with artist Sheila Flanagan. Sheila gave a slideshow and talk about her own art work, as well as about <a href="http://126.ie/artfarm/">ArtFarm</a> and its residencies, and the community work she does to bring art to Ballygar and its surrounding areas.<br />
<br />

Sheila talked about her use of the feminine in art and her love of found objects. She also spoke about her reservations about artists being overly productive. When she first moved to what is now ArtFarm, she realised that she had to figure out a way to be in synch with her new community and she sought to solve that by bringing artists, and art, to the community at large. She set up artists' residencies in which the artists engaged with the local community, and also set up events for both the Bealtaine Festival and Culture Night.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sheila also spoke about the miniscule arts budget allocated to County Galway (€400k for the whole of the county area, including Connemara) and she emphasised the need for groups to unite and lobby for better funding.<br />
<br />
In the future, ArtFarm may run a writer's residency and we will bring news of that to you anon. In the meantime, go <a href="http://126.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ArtFARM-126-Summer-Residency-Open-Call-Guidelines.pdf">here</a> for further info on residencies for visual artists.<br />

Sheila is an artist of great energy, talent, charm and commitment, and the studio at Tosnú was packed with eager listeners on Friday night. Thanks to everyone who came along to enjoy Sheila's talk and the copious amount of tea, coffee and cakes.<br />

a BA in Fine Art from GMIT in 2003 with first class honours specialising in sculpture.
In 2005 she moved to Cloonkeen which led to a deep questioning of her art
practice and its meaning in a rural context. Through this introspection the
concept of Artfarm emerged The mission of Artfarm is to create opportunities
for artistic expression by providing interaction through residencies, projects,
talks etc., and for artists to go there with an aspiration to inspire, share,
experiment and develop new ideas. The aim is to navigate towards explorations
of ecologically sustainable art and contemplative art practice.</span></div>
