Film screening: Remaking the Crust of the Earth
Hugh Lane Gallery
Friday 13 September at 1pm, introduced and followed by Q&A by Alice Butler (co-director aemi)
Programmed to coincide with the exhibition MORE POWER TO YOU: Sarah Purser – A Force for Irish Art
MORE POWER TO YOU: Sarah Purser – A Force for Irish Art celebrates Purser’s multifaceted role as artist, activist and collector. Sarah Purser was an energetic advocate for the visual arts in Ireland throughout her life. She founded the stained glass studio, An Túr Gloine, which was instrumental in the resurgence of that medium in Ireland. She was an active exhibition organiser and arranged the 1901 exhibition by Nathaniel Hone and John Butler Yeats that was a catalyst for Hugh Lane’s interest in modern art, which in turn led to the founding of this gallery. Later, she secured Charlemont House as the permanent home for Hugh Lane Gallery.
This series of screenings (which includes ‘Slow Glass’ by John Smith) are introduced by Alice Butler (co-director aemi).
