Léacht de hÍde 2019: 'Douglas Hyde's American Tour: 1905-06'
Léacht de hÍde 2019
Prof. Liam Mac Mathúna
'Douglas Hyde American Tour'
01.10.19
Léacht de hÍde (The Hyde Lecture) is an annual lecture series run by the National University of Ireland and UCD School of Irish, Celtic Studies and Folklore
Douglas Hyde was the first President of Ireland, serving from 1938 to 1945, the first president of Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League) and the first Professor of Modern Irish in UCD from 1909. In that year, he was also appointed as a member of the first Senate of NUI and was an active member of the Senate until 1919. Given these strong connections, NUI and UCD School of Irish, Celtic Studies and Folklore are pleased to honour the memory of Douglas Hyde by collaborating in the establishment of this new lecture series.
Ba é Dubhghlas de hÍde an chéad Uachtarán ar Éirinn, ó 1938 go 1945, an chéad uachtarán ar Chonradh na Gaeilge agus an chéad Ollamh le Nua-Ghaeilge sa Choláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ón mbliain 1909 ar aghaidh. Sa bhliain sin, ceapadh é mar chomhalta den chéad Seanad ar Ollscoil na hÉireann freisin agus bhí sé ina bhall gníomhach den Seanad go dtí 1919. Is mar gheall ar na naisc láidre seo ar aontaigh OÉ agus COBÁC comhoibriú chun an tsraith léachtaí seo a chur ar bun i gcuimhne ar Dhubhghlas de hÍde.

Dublin Contemporary 2011
The title and theme of Dublin Contemporary 2011 is Terrible Beauty—Art, Crisis, Change & The Office of Non-Compliance. Taken from William Butler Yeats' famous poem Easter, 1916, the exhibition's title borrows from the Irish writer's seminal response to turn-of-the-century political events to site art's underused potential for commenting symbolically on the world's societal, cultural and economic triumphs and ills. The second part of the exhibition's title underscores Dublin Contemporary 2011's emphasis on art that captures the spirit of the present time, while introducing the exhibition's chief organizational engine: The Office of Non-Compliance. Headed up by Dublin Contemporary 2011 lead curators Jota Castro (artist/curator) and Christian Viveros-Fauné (critic/curator), The Office of Non-Compliance will function as a collaborative agency within Dublin Contemporary 2011, establishing creative solutions for real or symbolic problems that stretch the bounds of conventional art experience.
The Office of Non-Compliance, located within the Earlsfort Terrace exhibition site, will function as a promoter of ideas around a laundry list of non-conformist art proposals. The Office's practice will be fuelled by the idea that not only has the world been transformed in the last few decades, the very concept of change itself has changed utterly. This element of the exhibition looks to highlight less conventional, largely artist-led models of art discourse, production and presentation. The Office of Non-Compliance will include ad-hoc, accessible structures for discourse around art and its place in society, such as a Bank of Problems, a Bank of Possibilities, One Problem a Week and a curated forum exploring one topical problem per week.
There are two further intriguing spaces within the Earlsfort Terrace complex: the serene Iveagh Gardens and the light-filled Annex, both adjacent to the main exhibition site.
Extending its reach across the city, Dublin Contemporary 2011 will partner with four important Dublin galleries: The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, The National Gallery of Ireland and The Royal Hibernian Academy.

Art Encounters: Dorothy Cross at TEDxDUBLIN
TEDxDublin was hosted by Science Gallery at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on September 8th, 2012.
Cross works in a variety of media including sculpture, photography, video and installation. She has been exhibiting regularly since the mid-80s and her witty and inventive investigations of contemporary sexual mores and politics tend to be produced in series. Her first major solo shows were 'Ebb', at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, in 1988, and 'Powerhouse' at the ICA, Philadelphia, the Hyde Gallery and Camden Arts Centre, London, in 1991. During the 90′s she produced two extended series of sculptural works, using cured cowhide and stuffed snakes respectively, which drew on these animals' rich store of symbolic associations across cultures to investigate the construction of sexuality and subjectivity. In recent years much of Cross's new work has been a direct result of extensive travel to such remote places such as the Melanesian island of New Ireland in the South Pacific and the Galapagos Islands; Cross's ongoing attempt to reposition man in nature. and to reflect, in that context, on the evolution of art itself and the role for artists within a world facing increasing environmental and cultural changes. Her work is included in the collections of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Norton Collection, Santa Monica, Art Pace Foundation, Texas, Ulster Museum, Belfast, Hugh lane Gallery, Dublin, London and the Tate Modern, London, among others.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Multi Billion Dollar ILLEGAL TRADE in SOUTHEAST ASIA - Inside Story
Multi Billion Dollar ILLEGAL TRADE in SOUTHEAST ASIA - Inside Story
The possession, valued at up to 200,000 euros (£164,000), was taken in a burglary at the 55-year-old's Castlehyde home overlooking the river Blackwater in Ireland.
It is believed to have been cut off a stuffed rhino's head which was mounted in a safari room in the palladian mansion in north Cork.
Gardai said the burglary was reported at 6.20pm yesterday (January 27).
No one was injured in the break-in and no arrests have been made.
Flatley is understood to have been at home at the time with his wife Niamh and son Michael junior.
Suspicion will fall on a traveller gang which has made a lucrative business out of targeting museums, country estates, auction rooms, galleries and collectors for rhino horn. They can fetch up to 65,000 US dollars (£39,000) a kilo on the black market.
Rhino horn is prized in traditional Asian medicine despite being useless and there is a serious health risk from arsenic used to preserve older specimens.
One gang targeted a special storage unit used by the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin last year and got away with four horns. They had been taken off public display amid concerns of a theft.
International policing agency Europol issued a threat notice about an Irish traveller gang, dubbed the Rathkeale Rovers, it believes is behind a spate of similar robberies across Europe.
They are the prime suspects for the Flatley break-in.
CCTV is being recovered from Flatley's mansion as part of the investigation.
Castlehyde, on the banks of the Blackwater near Fermoy, was bought by Flatley in 1999.
The 18th century castle was the ancestral home of Ireland's first president Douglas Hyde and has been extensively refurbished.
Flatley's website states that it sits on 150 acres of pasture and woodland is worth an estimated 100 million euros.
Animal rights activist group Aran said it was incensed that Flatley would have an item of immense cruelty on display at his home.
In an open letter to the star, the group said: Whilst I am sure the break-in was traumatic and stressful on you and your family's part, has it set in or even occurred to you that neither you nor those who stole the horn are the rightful owners?
The animals are literally on the brink of being wiped off the face of the planet.
Aran suggested that if the horn is recovered, Flatley should hand it over to the group for a public burning.
The Organised Crime Unit of the Hawks in Limpopo has arrested nine suspects during a two-day operation related to environmental crimes, particularly the trade in rhino horn.
The police, who were acting on information received, arrested five suspected rhino poachers at Bela Bela yesterday afternoon, 11 February 2014, for being in possession of a rhino horn. The suspects were arrested during what was supposed to be a rhino horn transaction between the suspects and an undercover buyer. abc news cbs news ap news nbc news bbc news wall street digital rt news breaking news world news global news latest news scientific news 24 hour news apocalypse news politics bomb blast rhino rhino horn poachers Vietnam Thailand Africa china The seized horn appears to have been poached from an adult rhino a few months ago. The five suspects are aged between 23 and 34. They are South Africans from the Mabula Village and Eersterust in Hammanskraal North, Pretoria. During the arrest, the police seized an uncut diamond, which was later tested to be a fake, and the suspects' getaway vehicle.
They are due to appear in the Bela Bela Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 13 February 2014, on charges of the illegal possession of a rhino horn.
This arrest happened a few hours after the Hawks were summoned to a rhino poaching crime scene at the Zonderwater Farm in Lephalale where two rhinos had been shot; one dehorned and the other wounded.
Trinity College Dublin - Trinity College Museum & Library / History / Ireland / Book of Kells
You might at first start asking yourself why would I go to visit a college in the city that am travelling to? That is actually not the case, because going to Trinity College in Dublin is about checking the old buildings and also visiting the library that is considered from the oldest around the world.
Full name - The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin.
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland is located in College Green opposite the Irish Houses of Parliament. It is built on 47 acres and contains the Library of Trinity College which has over 6.2 million printed volumes of manuscripts, maps and music - including the Book of Kells.
Trinity College was found in 1592 and it was originally established beside Dublin City Walls. This college is considered Ireland's oldest university and is actually one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland.
Trinity College was partially established as a means of consolidating the Tudor Monarch's rule of Ireland. Among the different things and stories told about Trinity College in Dublin is that is was commonly seen as a predominantly protestant institution, were professorships, fellowships, and scholarships were originally reserved for protestants. This rule was then changed in 1873 to further include the catholic community as well.
The campus of Trinity College is actually a huge one and there are specific things to be spotted in addition to all these old buildings that form the college. There is the important library which is considered from the oldest in the country and there is also Samuel Beckett Theatre and the Douglas Hyde Gallery which are found on the campus and should be checked while being there.
Regardless the studies that one could get and receive from this college, it is important to mention some of the important ranks that this college received when it took part in different polls. In 2010, Forbes placed Trinity College as one of the 15 most beautiful college campuses to be found around the world and that of course comes in addition to lots of the other things that it might have been part of.
Many of the different old buildings which are part of Trinity College are found on the western side of the campus with its modern science buildings being developed on the east. The buildings on the college site range from works of both older architecture and more contemporary structure; visiting this campus will be about a mixture of both, the modern and the old, and that will be enough to explain why this campus is considered one of the best to be found all around the world.
One of the different things that highlight Trinity College in Dublin is the Book of Kells which is a 9th century illuminated manuscript that contains the four gospels of the new testament and which Trinity College was actually its home.
The Book of Kells will take us to one of the most visited touristic attractions in Dublin, Ireland, which is Trinity College Library where the Book if Kells is placed and which is considered the oldest manuscript to be contained in the library. The Library of Trinity College is the largest research library in all of Ireland and it is considered one of the oldest attractions of the city for the old and rare documents that one could find inside.
Walking inside the library is in itself a feeling we won't be able to describe, but the closest thing we could say is that it feels like walking back in history with the atmosphere, the statues and all those old books which are surrounding you from every corner. Due to the library's historic stance, it is considered a legal deposit library for the United Kingdom and assumes a similar role in Ireland as well. The library is also entitled a copy of every single book published in Great Britain and Ireland, which means that over 100,000 new items are added to the library every single new year; just WOW!
There are actually more than five million books in the library of Trinity College and it is also home to manuscripts, maps, and printed music; we believe this is considered enough to attract any person visiting Dublin and let him go to this place.
This is one of the highlights of Dublin city, but you could also visit Dublinia Viking Museum ( have a walk by River Liffey ( have a walk in the famous shopping place which is Grafton Street ( or else go to the Mansion House which is located there as well ( and there are also other places which you could add to the list of course.
Trinity College Dublin courses or Trinity College Dublin tours, both could be done in this top ranking college and both will give you what you need at the end of the road.

Stephen Shore - Dublin
Stephen Shore's photographic work came to maturity and early recognition in the 1970s, a period when his native America was wearied by war and years of civil unrest. Its wit, elegance, and formal rigour made welcome order out of images that looked casual and arbitrary; echoing the methodology of contemporary photorealist painters, Shore's approach was a cross between straight documentary and conceptual art.
Uncommon Places, probably his best-known and most influential series of photographs, includes - among many others - images of a motel room, a pancake breakfast, a rainbow over a parking lot, and a billboard on a country highway showing a snow-capped mountain. Sometimes described as a sequence of deadpan shots of banal subjects, Uncommon Places is actually deeply rooted in the artist's subjectivity. This is literally and figuratively true: the photographs are diaristic, but more importantly they also bear clear traces of his attitude to the world, which is surprisingly affectionate for one so determined to show no emotion whatsoever in his photographs.
Stephen Shore's work has been shown all around the world in major galleries and museums. This exhibition at the Douglas Hyde Gallery Dublin, the first time Stephen Shore's work has been shown in Ireland, was selected by the artist; it comprises photographs from various series and from every period in his career.
The short film follows Stephen Shore during his setup in Dublin and it contains a conversation about one specific photo (New York City 2000/2002) between him and John Hutchinson, director of the gallery.

Tuesday Evenings at the Modern - Fergus Feehily
Fergus Feehily is a Berlin- and Helsinki-based artist known for works that present as unassuming in scale, content, and fabrication, but with time and close examination reveal a quiet yet enormous power. While clearly aware of his Post-Minimalist heritage, Feehily is too in touch with the moment of making to be consciously beholden to his predecessors. Feehily’s own push and pull between permanence and impermanence, the deliberate and the accidental, finished and unfinished creates an unidentifiable but exhilarating anxiety that the artist uses to engage the viewer. As described by Martin Herbert in a review for Frieze magazine, “There’s an appealing sense of these works as waiting, each inlaid with their handful of concealed quirks. . . . What strikes you is the operation of a consistent if slightly unpredictable sensibility: these are paintings that feel to have been rigorously tuned, arrested when they’re no longer austere and not yet busy.”
For Tuesday Evenings at the Modern, Fergus Feehily shares the ideas that have determined his career as an intriguing and significant contemporary artist.
Fergus Feehily was born in 1968 in Dublin and lives and works in Berlin and Helsinki. Solo exhibitions include presentations at Capital, San Fransisco, 2015; The Suburban, Milwaukee, 2015; Misako & Rosen, Tokyo, 2013 and 2010; Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 2012 and 2009; Stuart Shave/Modern Art, London, 2011; Dallas Museum of Art, 2011; Galerie Christian Lethert, Cologne, 2010; and Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Aachen, 2008. His work has also been shown in numerous group exhibitions, including Why not live for Art? II - 9 collectors reveal their treasures, Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, 2013; Painter Painter, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 2013; Changing States: Contemporary Irish Art & Francis Bacon’s Studio, BOZAR, Center for Fine Arts, Brussels, 2013; Painting Expanded, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York, 2011; and Twenty, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2011. Feehily’s work is included in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. He is currently Professor in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki.

Born in the USB: Digital collecting at the National Library of Ireland – part 2
Joanna Finegan (National Library of Ireland)
Abstract:
The Liam O’Leary Archive is a one of a kind collection relating to the history of Irish film and cinema. It was started by Liam O’Leary in the 1970s, after he was asked to produce an exhibition for the Dublin Arts Festival in the Douglas Hyde Gallery: ‘Cinema Ireland, 1896-1976’. Originally started as a resource to research the exhibition and O’Leary’s other work in film (including books, lectures and articles); the Archive became a lifelong endeavour to record and preserve all aspects of Irish film and cinema.
The paper will provide an overview of the Liam O’Leary Archive and will focus on one aspect of the collection; the Rex Ingram materials. Born in Dublin, Rex Ingram was an actor and silent film director; Liam O’Leary researched and produced a biography on Ingram, gathering original archival materials and also creating records through the research, creation and publication of the book. The paper will look at the wide variety of materials which resulted from the book’s publication, giving a snapshot of the types of materials in a research collection such as the Liam O’Leary Archive; including correspondence, photocopies, photographs and audio-visual archives.
Launch of Mark Garry An Afterwards at Luan Gallery, Athlone
Luan Gallery is delighted to announce its first exhibition of 2017 entitled An Afterwards which features the work of Irish installation artist Mark Garry. The exhibition, which features new work dedicated to the architectural design of Luan Gallery, launched on Saturday 11th February at 6pm.
A native of Mullingar, renowned contemporary installation artist Garry has created delicately considered site specific installations reflective of time spent visiting relatives in Athlone as a child. Garry says of his exhibition:
‘When approaching exhibition making I try to make works that respond both to architectural space and a social situation. While there are consistent materials and apparatus’ employed in each exhibition, I respond to each situation with a new set of conceptual criteria’.
Garry has held exhibitions at museums and art venues in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia and was one of the artists who represented Ireland at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Most recently Mark has exhibited at the Serpintine Gallery London, RHA Dublin, Whitebox Gallery New York, Galleria Civica di Modena Italy and The Hugh Lane Gallery and the Douglas Hyde Gallery. Garry’s work is held in many private and public collections including The Arts Council of Ireland, the collection of Arthur and Carol Goldberg and The Foundation to Life, New York.
This collection of new works by Garry dramatically transforms Luan Gallery, creating an environment that is at once considerate and quietly spectacular. The exhibition which is accompanied by a small publication written by Rachel Kilburn will run from February 11th until April 22nd 2017.

In Sense Of Place: A Recap
Student Select: The Project
In Sense of Place: The Exhibition
British Council invited Highlanes Gallery to select an exhibition from the 9,000 strong British Council Collection as part of their centenary commemoration and the broader Perspectives project involving 4 museum galleries, Highlanes G, The Model, Sligo, The Glebe, Donegal, and Limerick City Gallery of Art.
Highlanes Gallery approached two teachers from Our Lady's College Greenhills and St Oliver's Community College who the gallery have strong links with.
The teachers approached their students and school and 12 students (at the time in TY) identify themselves as interested in the project and process.
Students met Diana Eccles, Head of Collection at the British Council and Fay Blanchard, Collection Curator there, during their visit to Drogheda in April, and heard about the Collection, the artists and artwork.
From April until the end of the exhibition, the students met weekly, on Thursday afternoons, after school with their teachers and the gallery team. During the summer the students met on two occasions in the gallery.
In June, the gallery organised a trip to Dublin to visit museums and galleries and a range of exhibitions and the students focused on many aspects from considering prompt, concept, artists' media, layout, lighting, media, exhibition labeling & signage, communication, press and marketing and public programme. Galleries included the Douglas Hyde Gallery, TCD, Kerlin Gallery, Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane, the National Gallery of Ireland, the Little Museum of Dublin, the RHA and Farmleigh to attend the opening of Two Birds, One Stone, curated by Janet Mullarney.
The student curators met with Brian Fay during the installation of Some Thing as a Line, a group exhibition exploring line in contemporary art, and much earlier at the beginning of the process, in April, the students met another artist/curator Anthony Haughey during his co curation of Beyond the Pale, the art of Revolution.
In October the gallery secured a local sponsor for the exhibition Drogheda Credit Union (Drogheda-Bettystown-Trim) and the students met and discussed ideas in their project and selection of artwork.
The students were on site for the arrival of the main shipment from the UK from the British Council store, looking, for the first time at the work in the flesh, and making and re making decisions about the hang, and finding more links between the artists and artworks....
Much more, and most excitingly, the opening of the exhibition, welcomed the arrival of two of the exhibiting artists, Graham Crowley and Mariele Neudecker, as well as representatives from the British Council in Ireland and the UK.
In Sense of Place included work by Laura Aldridge, Frank Auerbach, Michael Brick, Mat Collishaw, Tony Cragg, Graham Crowley, Jeremy Deller, Angus Fairhurst, Sir John Holroyd, Evie Hone, Leon Kosoff, Langlands and Bell, Richard Long, Stephen Lowry, Ferenc Martyn, Rachel MacLean, Paul Nash, Mariele Neudecker, John Piper, Nano Reid, David Shrigley, Gillian Wearing and Madame Yervonde.

Donegal Dance Hall Posters - 1982
Donegal Dance Hall Posters - 1982
Some of them are gone now like the 'Lilac Ballroom' Carndonagh, The 'Astoria' Bundoran and the 'Inter-County' Lifford
A German typographer, brings his printing press and an exhibition of dance hall posters to the Douglas Hyde Gallery Dublin.
It’s not just the old-fashioned printing press demonstrations that draws visitors in, but a collection of Irish dance hall posters which are on display.
Professor Gerd Fleischmann sees the poster as something ephemeral, but it also as has an important social and historical value,
They are part of everyday life of a lot of people. In this way, they become important. They give you a record of what happens in the countryside.
While there is no doubt that Irish printing is based in the English tradition, Fleischmann sees
that printers in Ireland have brought their own unique style to the poster printing format.
They use it in a very free, and I would say, wild manner...it’s colourful, and it’s part of asort of folklore heritage.
Once is Too Much, He Loves me not
'He Loves Me He Loves Me Not' is a video installation which was part of the 'Once Is Too Much' exhibition which explored the issue of domestic violence and was first seen in the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 1997. 'He Loves Me He Loves Me Not' flips the familiar folk rhyme where women reflect on their early expectation of romance set against the reality of an abusive relationship. 'He Loves Me He Loves Me Not' uses a combination of; audio interviews with women describing the behaviour of violent partners, a menacing music track composed by Derek Cronin, sequences featuring flowers and stylised re enactments of violent scenes projected onto a discarded heart shaped cushion. This video installation was influenced by the artist Tony Oursler whose work was seen in the Douglas Hyde Gallery from October in 1996. The 'Once Is Too Much' exhibition was made by a women's group from the Family Resource Centre St Michael's Estate, inchicore, Dublin and artists Joe Lee, Rhona Henderson, Rochelle Rubinstein Kaplan and Ailbhe Murphy. Joe Lee worked with the women on all photo and video work in the show. The 'Once Is Too Much' exhibition travelled widely throughout Ireland from 1998 to 2004.
