ART EALAN MUSIC CEÃ’L FILMS FILMICHEAN THEATRE AN LANNTAIR TAIGH-CLUICHE AN LANNTAIR WINTER 2015 AUTUMN 2016 FOGHAR 2016
WELCOME Think about a Festival of Harris Tweed and you might expect beautiful imagery, weaving demonstrations and fashion shows with fabulous designers. And yes, you would be right - all this and more has been included in the festival so far. However autumn brings something very different indeed to An Lanntair’s Gallery. Russian born, Glasgowbased company, Sharmanka, has literally turned this festival upside down and inside out. They have taken away a Hattersley loom and have redesigned this incredible machine into a kinemat – a moving sculpture – with a sound-scape and a whole host of new surprises. And the excitement doesn’t end there. This September, An Lanntair celebrates the South Asian heritage of the Western Isles with its festival of South Asian art and culture, Purvai. Expect everything from music and storytelling from Lahore, to family drumming workshops, to a night of film, music and dancing with the amazing former Stone Roses guitarist, Aziz. Can’t wait! It’s also the return of Faclan: The Hebridean Book Festival, this November. Amongst many other superb writers, I am very excited about seeing Jackie Kay, Scotland’s new Makar, speak here at An Lanntair on Saturday 5th November. Of course, there’s also so much more. Get stuck in to this season’s brochure to find out about the diversity of gigs, performances, exhibitions and art classes on offer. Elly Fletcher, Chief Executive
FÀILTE Smaoinich air fèis de Chlò Mòr Na Hearadh agus ’s dòcha gun smaoinich thu air ìomhaighean àlainn, air cuideigin ag obrachadh air beairt agus tachartasan fasain le dealbhaichean-aodaich. Uill, bhiodh tu ceart – ach tha seo agus mòran a bharrachd gu bhith againn. Tha rud gu tur eadardhealaichte a’ tighinn gu Gailearaidh An Lanntair as t-fhoghar. Tha a’ chompanaidh Sharmanka – às An Ruis bho thùs ach a tha stèidhte ann an Glaschu – air an fhèis seo a chur bun bhos cionn! Tha iad air beairt Hattersley a thoirt air falbh agus a h-athchruthachadh às ùr mar kinemat – ìomhaigh ghluasadach le fuaimean àraid agus annasan is iongantasan gu leòr eile. A bharrachd air an fhèis shònraichte seo, tha sinn, san t-Sultain, a’ comharrachadh dualchas Àisia a Deas le fèis Purvai stèidhte air cultar is ealain Àisia a Deas. Bidh Purvai le ceòl is seanchas à Lahore, clasaichean drumaireachd agus oidhche le film Bollywood, ceòl agus dannsa le Aziz, fear a b’ àbhaist a bhith anns na Stone Roses. Tha mi a’ gabhail fadachd airson na h-oidhche! Tha Faclan: Fèis Leabhraichean nan Eilean Siar againn san t-Samhain. Am measg nan ùghdaran mìorbhaileach a bhios againn, tha mi gu mòr a’ coimhead air adhart ri èisteachd ri Jackie Kay, Makar ùr na h-Alba, is i a’ bruidhinn aig An Lanntair air Disathairne 5 Samhain. Tha mòran a bharrachd gu bhith ann, leis an leabhran seo làn fiosrachaidh air na diofar thachartasan, thaisbeanaidhean agus chlasaichean-ealain a tha romhainn. Elly Fletcher, Ceannard

Tartan Setts and Pattern Sticks: Jim Pattison 20 Aug – 25 Sept
Seataichean Tartain agus Maideandeilbh: Jim Pattison 20 Lùn– 25 Sul
For better or worse tartan has come to virtually define the image or branding of a nation. Jim Pattison’s journey of exploration into tartan began with that of his own family. After which he researched, cross-referenced and spliced its symbolic, historic and cultural associations, the myth and the reality, to create this exhibition. He resurrected the idea of maide dealbh or pattern sticks, thought to be an ancient method of recording traditional designs with exact thread and colour numbers, and extended the project into tartan designs using genetic information from his own DNA.
Math no dona, tha Alba aithnichte air a’ bhreac (no tartan). Thòisich turas Jim Pattison le rannsachadh air a theaghlach fhèin, agus e an uair sin a’ cur aire ri ceanglaichean cultarail, eachdraidheil is samhlachail – fìrinn ann no às – is e a’ cruthachadh an taisbeanaidh seo. Sheall e as ùr ris a’ mhaide-deilbh; seann dòigh air clàradh phàtranan; snàithleanan agus àireamhan nan dathan, leis a’ phròiseact a’ cruthachadh phàtranan ùr tartain stèidhte air an fhiosrachadh DNA aige fhèin.
Gallery packs are available as part of all An Lanntair exhibitions for visiting children and families. Please ask at the Box Office for more details.

Tha pasgan-taisbeanaidh dha teaghlaichean is clann rim faighinn airson gach taisbeanadh a tha a’ nochdadh anns An Lanntair. Faighnich aig a’ Bhogs’ Oifis airson barrachd fiosrachaidh.

A’ Beairt/The Loom: Sharmanka 1 Oct – 13 Nov
A’ Bheairt/The Loom: Sharmanka 1 Dàm – 13 Sam
Am Beairt will be a commissioned piece of kinetic art created by the former Russian company Sharmanka who will reinvent and reconfigure a genuine Harris Tweed Hattersley loom into a new machine that tells the narrative of the Industry. Powered by - and created from - a loom, told and embellished through the unique vocabulary and vision of Eduard Bersudsky.
A’ Bheairt na phìos-ealain gluasadach - air a chruthachadh leis an t-seann chompanaidh Ruiseanach Sharmanka - a nì ath-leasachadh air a’ bheairt Hattersley gu bhith na inneal a tha ag innse eachdraidh a’ ghnìomhachais. Air a chruthachadh à beairt, thèid sgeulachd Clò Mòr na Hearadh a h-innse tro bhriathran agus lèirmheas sònraichte Eduard Bersudsky.
Essentially it is the disassembly of a loom and its reconstruction as a vehicle specifically built to tell its own compelling story. www.sharmanka.com

Aig cridhe an taisbeanaidh, tha an sgeulachd ga h-innse tro bhith a’ toirt beairt às a chèile agus ga togail às ùr gus sgeulachd iongantach a’ Chlòtha Mhòir innse. www.sharmanka.com
