FÀILTE
Spring at An Lanntair – new friends, new sounds, new ideas.
Earrach aig An Lanntair – càirdean ùra, fuaimean ùra, beachdan ùra.
For theatre-goers this season we have a wonderful mix of events for your diary, kicking off with Iain Finlay Macleod’s new play ‘Hallaig’ and Theatre Gu Leor’s Shrapnel. New Room Theatre will also be here with ‘Blackout’, a ‘painfully funny’ play about alcoholism. Alongside this, there will be a whole host of opportunities to learn new skills in a series of interconnected theatre workshops.
Dha daoine a tha dèidheil air dealbhan-cluiche, tha measgachadh mìorbhaileach de thachartasan againn dhuibh a’ tòiseachadh leis an dealbh-chluiche ùr ‘Hallaig’ aig Iain Fionnlaigh MacLeòid, agus ‘Shrapnel’ bhon chompanaidh Theatre Gu Leòr. Bidh cuideachd New Room Theatre ann le ‘Blackout’, dealbh-cluich fìor èibhinn mu bhuaidh na dibhe. Maille ri seo, bidh cothroman ann air ionnsachadh sgilean ùra ann an sreath de bhùithtean-obrach air obair ann an theatar.
I am thrilled that multi award winning artist Julie Brook will be here with her stunning exhibition ‘Made Unmade’, an immersive film and audio installation created from her trips to the desert in Libya and North West Namibia, launching Saturday 19th March with a family cèilidh at An Lanntair – come along, everyone welcome! And, in an exciting new collaboration with the Museum and Archive at Lews Castle, artist collective Stephen-Morrison will launch the first contemporary art exhibition in the museum’s special exhibitions gallery with their show, ‘Grammar of Wavelength’. And there’s so much more – music from RANT, Martin Simpson, Northern Ireland’s Kieran Goss and the wonderful Altan. And an array of workshops and opportunities for children and adults – from the ‘International Space Programme’ for pre-schoolers, to the new Stornoway Art Lab for 12-15 year olds. There will even be a sound workshop in St. Moluag’s Chapel as part of Mhairi Killen and Hugh Watt’s exhibition, Re-Soundings, which will launch in An Lanntair’s Main Gallery on 12th May with commissioned works of sound, film and sculpture exploring the role of the bell. So much to see, experience and do for all the family, and don’t forget to pick up our cinema programme too! Elly Fletcher, CEO

Made:Unmade Julie Brook 19 Mar – 1 May 2016
Made: Unmade Julie Brook 19 Màrt - 1 Cèitean 2016
Short-listed for the Daiwa Foundation Art Prize 2015, this remarkable artist and film-maker has, over 25 years, spent prolonged spells living and creating art in remote terrains, from Jura and Mingulay to the Namibian and Libyan deserts. Drawn to elemental, raw, wild places, she has honed a distinctive form of sculpture she describes as ‘realigning’ elements of the land: ‘I don’t want to introduce new objects, but to re-order what’s already there; I’m interested in the relationship between what I make and what I don’t make.’ Her films are conceived as part of the process rather than as documentary records and they create a ‘three-dimensional immersive experience’ while introducing an element of permanence to works that will slowly erode back into the ground.
Air a’ gheàrr-liosta airson Duais Ealain an Daiwa Foundation 2015, tha an neachealain/film sònraichte seo air còrr is 25 bliadhna a chur seachad a’ fuireach ann agus a’ cruthachadh ealain ann an àrainneachdan iomallach, bho Dhiùra is Mhiùghalaigh gu fàsaichean Naimibia agus Libia. Tha i air a tarraing gu àitean fiadhaich, fàsail, cumhachdach, agus às na h-àrainneachdan seo tha ealain iongantach ga cruthachadh; ealain a tha a’ cur cumadh ùr air na tha anns an tìr: “I don’t want to introduce new objects, but to re-order what’s already there; I’m interested in the relationship between what I make and what I don’t make.” Tha na filmichean aice nam pàirt de phròiseas seach filmichean slàna aithriseach agus tha iad a’ cruthachadh seòrsa de ‘three-dimensional immersive experience’ le eileamaid mhaireannach nan lùib a tha crìonadh rè ùine.
The opening for this show will be an openday, including a family cèilidh also celebrating the end of Mòd nan Eilean Siar which takes place earlier in the week.
Tha an taisbeanadh a’ tòiseachadh le là fosgailte le cèilidh teaghlaich le seinn bho dhaoine a tha a’ gabhail pàirt ann am Mòd nan Eilean; a tha a’ tachairt an aon sheachdain.
Education and Outreach Julie Brook would love to show her exhibition to your class and tell them about her unique journeys. She will work with the children to make drawings that they can be proud of in an outdoor workshop. For more information contact moira@lanntair.com

Foghlam Chòrdadh e gu mòr ri Brook an taisbeanadh a shealltainn don chlas agus innse mu a tursan àraidh. Bheir i an uair sin brosnachadh do chlann dealbhan a dhèanamh às am bi iad fìor mhoiteil. Feuch is cuir fios gu Máire Dhòmhnallach moira@lanntair.com

A collaboration of a writer, poet, storyteller and a visual artist.

Both aspects make links to the permanent collection in the opening display at Museum nan Eilean. The works will include framed artists’ prints, artists’ books, video installation, ready made objects, sculpted objects, earth pigment paintings and works on paper. The main body of work is based on offshore voyages to Scotland’s outlying islands. These include The Shiants, St Kilda, Sula Sgeir, Sule Skerry, Shetland and Fair Isle. This is offset by representing the artists’ responses to travels in contrasting territories.

Hallaig - A play by Iain Finlay Macleod Sat 5 March, 8.00pm, £10/£9/£8
Hallaig – Dealbh-cluich le Iain Fionnlagh MacLeòid Dis 5 Màrt, 8.00f, £10/£9/£8
A young man, Sorley, drives north to Raasay to try to stop the woman he loves marrying another man. But as Sorley nears Raasay, the memories of his upbringing in Hallaig Wood return: memories he has suppressed since he ran away from the island at fourteen, never to return. ‘Hallaig’ is based on two poems written by Sorley Maclean - ‘Hallaig’ and ‘An Roghainn’. It is a story about unrequited love and how the small choices we make in life can affect us. It is about loss - of time, life, love and language. Performed in Gaelic. Ivan Drever Thurs 10 March, 8.00pm, £10/£9/£8 Ivan Drever hails from Orkney in Scotland, and has recorded a host of albums both solo and with other performers. Ivan’s latest album is “Revisited (the Wolfstone songs)” which was recorded in Edinburgh in Spring 2015 and features re-workings of material from his career with Celtic rock band Wolfstone.
