> Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War will open at the Model
> Arts and Niland Gallery on March 14th 2009 following its successful
> tour in Canada in 2008. Curated by Seamus Kealy, the newly appointed
> Director/Curator of the Model Arts and Niland Gallery, and recently
> of the Blackwood Gallery, Toronto, Signals marks the start of the
> Model Niland's ambitious offsite 09 exhibition programme. As a
> series of artist projects, film screenings, discussions, tours and
> forums that centre on representations of contemporary ideological
> and socio-political realities, the large-scale project Medium
> Religion(produced by ZKM, Karlsruhe) follows Signals in the late
> spring. While the first project takes a hard look at the profane
> world of war, the second enters sideways into a provocative
> discussion on the sacred world of religions. Alongside these
> exhibitions are a range of Education Programming, Artist
> Commissions, and Musi c Programming that exemplify the Model
> Niland's multi-disciplinary activities. Both exhibitions will be
> shown in the Model Satellite space at Castle House in central Sligo,
> a space temporarily occupied by the Model Niland while the main
> building undergoes a major redevelopment.
>
> Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War involves international
> artists who are responding to war and its contemporary
> representations. Held as an inter-disciplinary project, this project
> includes an exhibition, an extensive film/video program, a
> catalogue, and a public forum on the subject.
>
> Investigating the interstices between perpetual war, dominant
> politics, and military aesthetics, this project confronts issues of
> global warfare, how it is imaged, and how it is imagined. The
> exhibition presents artists who are responding to these
> representations of war through informed critique. While a number of
> artists produce analyses or outraged expressions arising from their
> own or others' experiences of war, other artists challenge the
> spectacle of contemporary war, its veracity and, ultimately, its
> intertwinement within a New World Order.
