Lecture at RHK | Kathleen James Chakraborty
In the context of the exhibition Analysing Cubism, Kathleen James Chakraborty (Professor of Art History, UCD) discusses the shared affinities of Eileen Gray and the Russian-born Sonia Delaunay who both arrived in Paris in the early years of the twentieth century to study painting. In the twenties both opened galleries where they sold furnishing that were in the forefront of converting the lessons of abstract art from two into three dimensions and from fine art into objects of real use. Rediscovered in the 1960s, they have become, like Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone, exemplars of the way in which a few adventurous women were among the first to realize the implications of Cubism for the art of daily life.

Lunchtime Lecture at NCH | Tim Stott
In this talk Tim Stott (Lecturer in Art History and Theory, DIT) discusses how the work of Tino Sehgal constructs art objects from momentary events using little more than communications and the bodies of performers and audience. In doing so, Sehgal’s work seems to ask again Nelson Goodman’s question ‘when is art?’ and presents us with some compelling answers.

18 May 2013
13:00 to 14:00
Gallery Talk at RHK| Riann Coulter
In the form of a gallery walk through, Dr Riann Coulter (art historian and Curator of the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio) will discuss key influences on the pioneering work of artist Mainie Jellett and her translation of cubism. Through a selection of works, this talk explores the artist’s strategy to return to figuration and Celtic iconography to make her Cubist aesthetic more appealing to the Irish public of the time.
