The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art is excited to present a new work by renowned performance artist Amanda Coogan, Deaf artists Lianne Quigley and Alvean Jones with Dublin Theatre of the Deaf (DTD) and students from the Centre for Deaf Studies (CDS) at Trinity College Dublin. Freude! Freude! is a live exhibition, an embodied performance and installation which translates Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ode to Joy chorus into Irish Sign Language (ISL) and reinterprets the entire symphony through the lens of the Deaf experience. Using ISL as a choreographic language, Coogan, Quigley and Jones have worked with DTD and students from the CDS to produce an aural, visual and immersive feast that will be presented through a series of performances and exhibition installation.
Past Exhibition
Gedi Sibony
55 Years
Using industrial or everyday materials such as cardboard, carpet, spray paint and tape, Gedi Sibony’s precarious constructions elevate humble fragments of ordinary objects into things of unusual harmony and vitality. Sibony assembles his installations from a variety of sources. Some elements reveal their use immediately with little intervention and are re-appropriated into satisfying configurations. Other components are formed accidentally as unintentional marks and traces of studio residue are accumulated over long periods of time.
