Ted Hughes, the tribes of Crows that populate my home town of Greystones, Co Wicklow, and the materials that they are created with. Expressionistic and spontaneous, I allow my chosen materials their own free will, corralling and controlling them as well as I am able as they spill across the page in their own exuberant way, coalescing into the image of Crow, who stands defiant on the page, proud yet ragged, on stick thin legs, flightless.” (James Kenny) October 1 - 12

‘Amplitude’ This project derives from a study of the possible physical consequences of supplying energy needs from Ireland’s un-harnessed wave-power. The project is a rhetorical, salutary proposition, a manifesto and an embodiment of the scale of generation required, to supplant our oil dependence and feed our centralizing grid. The research into current and future power needs and the potential provided by wave-power is diligently explored. The result is

- some images that depict work-aday minutiae are drawn from his personal lexicon. The installation as a whole is melancholy; the seemingly unrelated image strips articulate the transitory nature of most experiences, the insubstantial trivia that propel an individual and the brevity of an ordinary life.

The Wilderness. Part 1, surveys a landscape of abandon, darkened by uncertain catastrophe. A requiem for a vanishing planet, The Wilderness, Part 1 is an examination of an extinct world that strangely resembles our own. Shot in infrared HD video and with the use of hand-made filters, the images of the Irish landscape echo graphite drawings. Movement in the film is subtle and minimal with the drama set by Jurgen Simpson’s music composition. Sepember 3 – December 19

Rubicon Gallery
10 St. Stephen’s Green, D2 ■ Michael Kane Life Story Life Story is an animated and visually provocative installation of 100 paintings by Michael Kane. The paintings cover a very broad range of subject matter. They are rendered in ink, acrylic and collage, on arbitrary newssheet and glossy magazine pages. These paintings are overlaid on the text and images with no conscious or deliberate implications. The title, Life Story, has only a peripheral reference to the artists own life
An exhibition of paintings by Derek Fitzpatrick. His paintings do not aim to illustrate specific heads or landscapes rather they use the form of a ‘figure’ or a ‘landscape’ as a vehicle to allow for a looser more subjective exploration of the tactile quality of paint. The paintings do not represent real spaces but rather the work could be seen as an attempt to give the sense of a psychological state. He is interested in the medium’s potential to portray feelings. The paintings sometimes include features which can be identified as belonging to the figure or landscape but often develop into something entirely abstract. October 27 - November 7

■ Portraits by Aidan Kelly An exhibition of photographic portraits by Aidan Kelly. Most are candid works that shy away from posed set ups, trying instead to catch the subject close up with that glint in their eye or mid expression whilst they go about their day. Days like a very young Arveene at the Shelter, The Super Furry Animals in the Ambassador, Terry Hall in Solas or Candi Staton in the ChoiceCuts office, are days to remember. September 30 - October 31

■ Vanessa Marsh Vanessa Marsh returns for her second solo-exhibition at Stone Gallery after recently completing an MA in Visual Arts Practices at IADT, Dublin. October 14 - 23 ■ Deirdre Hayden The landscape and its distinctive light are forms that dominate Deirdre Hayden’s work – with abstracted images of ice, trees, clouds and occasionally more literal renditions. Narratives are often situated on the edge of society, fringes of the urban fabric, a sense of mystery suggested by fairground lights or illumination from the headlights of an unseen car highlighting deserted stages where the viewer is often marginalised, looking out from a within a scene. November 4 - 13
Talbot Gallery 51 Talbot Street
■ Clare Henderson, ‘I Can’t
Go On, I’ll Go On’ According to Henderson, her work attempts to present tangible displays of the subtle magnificence of human sentiment. Finding inspiration in feelings of desperation, perseverance and in need, Henderson works to create still, subtle and delicate images. Principally working from a monochrome and muted palette the artist creates etchings, lithographs, water colours and pencil drawings, in an effort to respond to the powerful human emotion that she believes is inherent in us all. The works of Samuel Beckett, Don DeLilo, Paul Auster and Buster Keaton have each played a part in inspiring the images made by Clare Henderson. So too has the sea, rain, mist, and fog. Henderson’s work is insightful and is reflective of the artists own sensitivity and responses to the human condition. September 24 – October 23
