Ciall

Aistrítear an focal Gaeilge “ciall” mar ‘sense’, ‘meaning nó ‘mind’ i mBéarla. D’fhéadfaí a rá gur cineál tuisceana nó meoin aigne atá i gceist. Le blianta fada anuas, tá An Gailearaí ag leanúint le anailís agus le measúnú ar na ceisteanna seo: ‘Cad é mar a fheictear an chiall seo?’, ‘Conas a léiríonn sí í féin?’, ‘Cé na tionchair atá uirthi?’, agus mar sin de.

Roghnaigh an Dr. Lillis Ó Laoire as Dún na nGall agus Nuala Ní Fhlathúin, mac léinn PhD as Conamara, ár dtaispeántas nua ó bhailiúcháin IMMA, Chomhairle Ealaíon na hÉireann, agus Ghailearaí an Ghleanna. Tá aiste scríofa ag an mbeirt acu dar teideal “Ciall”, ina ndéantar an mhothálacht seo a chíoradh ó thaobh acadúil agus ó thaobh feiceálacht de, le tacaíocht ó na saothair ealaíne atá ar taispeáint

Ciall

The Irish word ‘ciall’ translates as ‘sense’ ‘meaning’ ‘mind’ – a sensibility you might say. An Gailearaí Dhún na nGall has over the years continued to explore and examine ‘what does this sense look like?’, ‘how does it manifest?’, ‘what are the influences?’ and so on.

Our new exhibition has been selected by Dr Lillis Ó Laoire, Donegal and Phd student Nuala Ní Fhlathúin, Connemara, from the IMMA, Arts Council of Ireland and the Glebe Gallery collections. Each has written an essay entitled ‘Ciall’ that explores this sensibility both academically and visually supported by the artworks.
