SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE FORMER STAFF ARTIST SUCCESSFUL IN PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONS!
James Hayes a former staff artist at Signal Arts Centre has been awarded a number of Public Art Commissions over the the last few years. See the complete list and works on his website http://www.lorjames.com/
‘In an attempt to find the right words..’ is a new permanent public art installation by artist James Hayes at The Belmullet Arts Centre, Áras Inis Gluaire, County Mayo. There will be an official launch event to mark and celebrate the new artwork on Friday 22nd October at 1pm at Áras Inis Gluaire which is open to everyone to attend.
‘In an attempt to find the right words..’consists of over 2000 bronze cast pencils which appear to have been launched (dart-like) onto the wall.
Funding for the commission is via the Percent for Art scheme. James’ proposal was chosen because of his unique idea and his willingness to involve many people in the process. He spent time in Belmullet during May, giving talks at local schools and at the arts centre, and held workshops for children at Áras Inis Gluaire
Earlier in the year there was an open invitation to anyone who wanted their own special pencil, which had some significance to them, to donate it to be cast in bronze and included in the final artwork. There was a great response, with many local people donating pencils, also several writers, artists and poets from across the country donated their pencils too.
An exhibition documenting the process of creating the artwork, and the stories behind some of the donated pencils, will be exhibited in the gallery space from the launch date, 22nd October, until 10th November.
There will also be an opportunity to attend a talk from the artist on the morning of the launch event at 11am Friday 22nd October, in the theatre space at Áras Inis Gluaire. Artist James Hayes will talk about his art practice, with specific reference to his project in Belmullet. He and Gaynor Seville, Public Art Co-ordinator with Mayo County Council, will be available for a question and answer session after the talk and will also conduct a tour of the exhibition.The talk at 11am and launch event at 1pm are free and all are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be provided.
