Loss
31st May – 28th July 2012
Jananne Al-Ani, Annabel Dover, Rozanne Hawksley & Steve McQueen.
Curated in collaboration with IWM (Imperial War Museums)
Conflict and loss are so intrinsically linked that the problem of how to remember, how to memorialise, is ever-present. Being based in Belfast, the Golden Thread Gallery has confronted this problem in relation to Northern Irish issues on many occasions, but Loss, curated in collaboration with IWM (Imperial War Museums), looks at loss, conflict and war as simultaneously personal and common to all.
The iconic Queen and Country, Steve McQueen’s tribute to British Service personnel who died as a result of the Iraq War, embodies the concurrent private and public loss inherent in war. While each stamp is a photographic portrait of an individual who lost their life, an enduring personal memorial, they combine to represent a collective, national loss.
Annabel Dover’s cyanotypes present symbolic objects that represent the stories of some of her family members. Dover states “The personal narratives we impose upon objects often provide a hidden expression for the breakd... [ Read all ] |

Any Coloured Thing
Nuala Gregory
7th – 23rd June 2012
About the Exhibition
Any Coloured Thing, is an exhibition by Nuala Gregory that explores how colour and sensation can influence our understanding of objects.
Gregory’s work draws on her investigations into painting, printmaking, collage and colour, advancing the proposition that art can produce effects which escape the bounds of representation and operate instead at the level of bodily sensation.
In her writing she explores ideas on contemporary painting as follows:
“Post-medium and post-conceptual theories of art suggest that painting is not so much dead as posthumous, enduring an unending afterlife. Its achievement is certain but insufficiently understood, and so it lingers on (as embarrassment, enigma, or happy commodity) in the digital age. “
In the text accompanying this exhibition, Jim Smyth interviews the artist, and provides an historical and theoretical understanding of her work. He raises questions about the proposed ‘end of art’ and of painting, and sets the scene for an exploration of the contemporary meaning of painting in its ... [ Read all ] |

Calculated Error – Michael Hanna
2.2.2012 - 23.2.2012
Golden Thread Gallery presents Calculated Error, the first major solo exhibition by Michael Hanna. Over the past 3 months Hanna carried out a series of intentional mistakes, each carefully planned and budgeted in advance. Through a series of objects, photographs and texts, the exhibition documents these mistakes from the mistaken action to the repair. But, is ‘sorry’ ever enough? Are mistakes the ultimate learning tool? Is a problem ever fixed? Is a fix permanent? Is a fix perfect?
Michael Hanna (b.1979, Craigavon, Northern Ireland) lives and works in Belfast. He graduated with BA (Hons) in Sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art in 2009 and is currently completing his MFA at the University of Ulster.
Hanna has exhibited both locally and internationally, including Arrivals at Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast and Futures at Elephant Gallery, Los Angeles.
“I will make mistakes[1] in my life on purpose and secure funding[2] to put right these mistakes.”

Scope New York
2012
7.3.2012 - 11.3.2012
Lost in Lust: the Representation and Mis-representation of Woman is a group project. Each of the artists involved has a distinct voice in this debate and each approach the idea of “woman” from different vantage points. A mixture of photography, video, object-based work, drawing and performance, the project will challenge notions of femininity and representation.
Ursula Burke, Allan Hughes, Jenny Keane, Deirdre McKenna, Katherine Nolan and Maurice Doherty combine to carry on the Golden Thread Gallery’s tradition of platforming the work of Northern Irish based artists and those influenced by time spent here. Each of the artists both covertly and explicitly play with the idea of exploitation and question who, if anyone, is being exploited. Voyeurism, pornography, myth and tradition are all explored and our attitudes queried and interrogated.

Final Solution
3rd – 26th May 2012
Curated by Monika Szewczyk
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Hubert Czerepok and Marek Wasilewski have been working for some time: not together, but alongside each other. Last year they produced a two-person exhibition: The Flowers of Evil. This new project is focused on exploring the roots of evil, looking at a selection of famous books. It starts with passages from the Bible, going through to Polish Romantic poetry and the political writings of Thomas Jefferson, and ends with writings of Hitler and Breivik. This selection of works is trying to show how the idea of Good and Beauty is corrupted and may lead to an unexpected final solution. The exhibition is constructed as a dialog of four different works, each using different means of expression that in some paradoxical way complement each other.
In partnership with Galleria Arsenal, Bialystok, Poland | Part of VI Polish Cultural Week www.polishculturalweek.com
