Art Ireland: Anne Tallentire At The Irish Museum Of Modern Art

Nowhere else, The Readers, Document and Drift: diagram xi, working with architect Dominic Stevens (all 2010), are shown for the first time; alongside Instances, 1999, and a staging of Manifesto 3 (instead of partial object), 2004, in collaboration with artist John Seth, with whom Tallentire has frequently collaborated since 1993, in a practice formalised as ‘work-seth/tallentire'.

Art Ireland: "Anne Tallentire's New Works"

Nowhere else, 2010, invites the viewer to navigate hundreds of images depicting peripheral glimpses of daily life and detritus taken from sites identified by overlaying a chart of the night sky onto a map of London. This work refigures earlier pre-occupations with interrogating the apparatus of mapping and naming, and plays upon the relationship between the specific and the general; social control and urban occupations.
While much of Tallentire's work has made use of staging and recording her own actions, in Drift the Irish artist documents solely the actions of others in 21 short video clips that portray various routine activities carried out in association with the maintenance of a city's infrastructure. For Drift: diagram xi, 2010, Tallentire has collaborated with Irish architect Dominic Stevens to present an eight-screen video installation encased within a freestanding scaffolding structure. Each installation is devised specifically for the demands of the space and identified as a numerical ‘diagram' in order to emphasise the necessity for a critical consideration of context.

A text work developed specifically for this exhibition, The Readers, 2010, attests to the identities, activities and interests existing alongside the shared day to day work practices of those who work in Irish Museum of Modern Art.

Art Ireland: "Anne Tallentire's Work To Date"

Earlier works include Instances, 1999, produced when Tallentire represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 1999. This contemplates the passing of time in relation to perception and meaning. In three parts, it consists of a video projection which depicts, in real time, dawn breaking over a nondescript city landscape, a series of improvised actions and a single image video loop.

Since 1993, Tallentire has also worked on many collaborative projects with John Seth, under the collective name ‘work–seth/tallentire'. A version of their work Manifesto 3 (... instead of partial object), 2004, reconfigured specifically for the space at IMMA, exploits the ordering and disordering of things and the juxtaposition of action, object and image. This play between image and object is further explored in Document, 2010, a new work that questions the relationship between things and the significance of things.

Anne Tallentire was born in Co. Armagh and has lived and worked in London since 1984. She studied Fine Art Media at the Slade School of Art from 1986 to 1988 and is currently a Professor of Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and co-convener of the Double agents project based at CSM.

The exhibition is curated by Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions, IMMA, and co-curated by Karen Sweeney, Assistant Curator: Exhibitions, IMMA.
A fully-illustrated catalogue designed by Åbäke, with a foreword by IMMA Director, Enrique Juncosa and new texts by Charles Esche, Director of the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Vaari Claffey, independent curator; Rachael Thomas, and an interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, London, accompanies the exhibition.
The exhibition is supported by Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, and the British Council.

Art Ireland: Discussion and Screening

On Thursday 22 April Anne Tallentire will discuss works in the exhibition in the context of her overall practice in a conversation with Jake Irvine at IMMA. This will be followed by an outdoor screening of a series of single screen video works in Meeting House Square, Temple Bar. Please visit www.imma.ie for further information.

Why does album art on my ipod nano not work sometimes?

I have an ipod nano 4th gen, and i manually add the album art. MOST of the time it works fine, but on a few songs/artists i added recently it just wont work. i put album art on, and then on my ipod it just shows up as a black square. this happened for 9 albums. i tried a lot of different album covers, from around 150x150 to 350x350, but nothing works! does anyone else have this problem? and how can i fix it?

I had the EXACT same problem on my 3rd gen a few months ago. On iTunes, it was fine. On the iPod, it was a different story. It started going black, and I thought it was just a bad iPod or maybe old or broken. A week later, the album art came back, but on all the wrong songs (Rihanna had a Justin Timberlake album art). A week later, it all disappeared. I looked online for quite a while, and discovered that maybe restarting my iPod, by holding the Menu and Centre buttons together until the Apple logo came up, would help the album art. Soon, I tried it, and as soon as the menu popped up, I went through all of my songs, and sure enough, they were all right, and Rihanna and JT had their own album art (finally). If this doesn`t work, I would suggest phoning, emailing, or sending a letter to Apple Inc. If you send them your iPod, they may send you back a cash back or new iPod.

Hope this helps!
