Silent Moments (iadt) 26 April – 3 May

All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.

Christopher Morley

Soft-shelled, we armour ourselves with technology. We build human cities, our correlate to anthills and beehives. As a social species, like ants and bees, our well-being depends upon mutual aid, social networks, and culture adaptions – of which technology is manifested.

How cities shape consumption, promote health and equity, and nurture creative collaboration may determine the arc of the planet’s future. Urban management may be the ultimate multiplier, either minimizing poverty and supporting equitable cities or hastening the collapse of ecosystems. This may be especially true in small to medium cities, where most of the population growth will occur; these cities, however, will also face a dearth of skilled managers.

Ugly Beauty: Lee Malone

‘Ugly Beauty’ is a series of portraits of some of the main models in Ireland, depicting the raw emotion, and absence of pretence of strong modern women. There will be three head shots per model; the first, a stripped bare unveiling of natural beauty, without make-up;

the second, entitled Women Curse, will capture the ugly expression of emotion;

and thirdly, each model will react to a hand written word or emotion with which they closely identify.

This display of black and white images touches on the vulnerability of women whilst feeling ugly emotions, yet still depicts them as strong and competent individuals.

There will also be an audio-visual film on loop, which will show the models cursing in different tones and through different emotions.

The exhibition launches on the 16th on December, and will run for a week in the lead up to Christmas at Moxie Studios on Lad Lane.
