Tuesday, October 27, 2015 at 5:58PM A Public Intervention
Brigitta Varadi is hosting Goldenrod, a public intervention on Friday, October 30th from 2 – 4pm at the Maxon Mill & on October 31st from 3 – 5pm at the Luther Barn.
The work examines, through the reassessment of a daily activity, how memory can inform our present day perspectives and artistic expression.
Please join her for a cup of tea.
_____________
The story of the Goldenrod Tea:
When I was little my grandmother took me with her to collect herbs which she turned into teas, creams and tinctures. I grew up by the fragrance of drying herbs; there was always a cream or tea simmering on the stove.
During my walks in Wassaic, NY, I came across a meadow on Deep Hollow Road shimmering in golden yellow under the sun.
Goldenrod has long been used as herbal medicine among Native Americans who introduced the herb to the colonists. After the Boston Tea Party, the herb became the main source for tea: it became known as ‘Liberty Tea’.
Your organic 100% biodegradable tea bag contains handpicked and dried goldenrod (solidago odora).

This exhibition presents some sixteen artists whose work explores the impacts on the environment of our society and globalised economy. Et si on s’était trompé ? What if we got it wrong ?, as the performance-poet Lemn Sissay asks us (see below), in measuring progress by levels of industrialisation, expansion and accumulation. The ice and water of the Arctic, veritable barometers of the catastrophic effects of this “progress”, form one of the key elements of this exhibition. A further important strand is geopolitics and its direct links to questions of energy and biodiversity. Video and multi-media installations, photography, works on paper and canvases bring the complexities and implications of climate change to the fore in the lead up to the United Nations Conference in Paris. This exhibition is curated by Nora Hickey M’Sichili, director of CCI and will tour to Ireland in 2016.
In partnership with the Finnish Institute, Raimo S will be screened and presented by Nestori Syrjälä and Antti Majava on the evening of the vernissage. A Breakfast talk will take place on 26 September at 11am in the presence of the artists and La Ruche qui dit Oui ! who distribute weekly baskets of local produce. Book now. Watch performance-poet Lemn Sissay peforming “What if we got it wrong?” Read Darragh McKeon’s essay, specially commissioned by CCI to accompany the exhibition. In conjunction with this exhibition, CCI and the Skellig Foundation are organising "Skellig Sessions - 2015” Climate Change: Thinking about Solutions – a series of talks and discussions in November chaired by Lara Marlowe, The Irish Times correspondent in Paris.
This exhibition is part of the annual Week of Foreign Cultures organised by FICEP (Forum of foreign institutes in Paris) of which the CCI is a member. The theme for 2015 is “Our environments”; for details of the full programme running from 25 September to 4 October 15, check the FICEP website: www.ficep.info

Brigitta Varadi, NARS Foundation, New York in Exhibition, Fund Raising Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 7:27AM YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE LAUNCH OF A PUBLICATION ARISING FROM THE LOCIS PROGRAMME BY ORLAITH MCBRIDE, DIRECTOR OF THE ARTS COUNCIL.
THURSDAY MARCH 26TH, 2015, 6PM.
EUROPEAN UNION HOUSE, 18 DAWSON STREET, DUBLIN 2.
Locis is a collaborative programme, co-funded by the Culture Programme of the European Union, between Leitrim County Council Arts Office, Ireland; the Centre of Contemporary Art Znaki Czasu in Toruń, Poland; and Botkyrka Konsthall/Residence Botkyrka, Sweden. Locis was designed to provide knowledge, resources and opportunities for artists to engage internationally and to reinforce the principle that a vibrant arts practice should, and can, be maintained from anywhere and that networking across borders can occur from anywhere and with anyone.
As well as documenting the six residencies which made up the programme, the publication also contains essays by three writers who were asked to reflect on the programme in their country and to consider how residencies relate to their contexts and/or provide developmental opportunities for artists in a particular location. In addition, three other writers – Doreen Massey, Anik See and Saša Nabergoj were invited by the three curators to write essays on broader topics of specific interest to the three partners.

Exhibition Opened by Torok Tamas, curator; Serbian Church Gallery, Mikszath Kalman Arts Center, 5th Szerb Street, Balassagyarmat, Hungary
Exhibition curated by Zolnyánszki Zsolt Benedek
The work explores how customary, mechanically performed daily activities embedded itself in our memory and how these movements leave traces and patterns behind them.
Looking at the work that women do from day to day and considered menial, and gives it beauty. Examining the act of dipping the mop into the waves, moving slowly through the movements creating a stillness/mindfulness in the middle of the storm.TRACE merely seeks to preserve a momentary action in time and in space.
Brigitta Varadi, artist born in Hungary lives and works in Ireland since 2001. She divides her time between Co.Leitrim and New York.
