Outlined in the banditti of the plains by A.S. Mercer (1894), a band of fifty-two cattlemen and hired gunmen invaded Johnson Country, Wyoming, in April 1892, killing and terrorizing the settlers. Through the installation of a timber and canvas roller skating rink within the gallery, Duggan's ambitious work transports gallery visitors through the frontier lands of Wyoming and American Western Cinema, as seen in Michael Cimino's Heavens's Gate (1980). Duggan invites the public to participate in a public activity, to skate with an element of costume, in the place and time of the Johnson County's war, suggesting this trope allows Ireland of the 21st century to explore constantly shifting notions of social identity.
Within the extraordinary galleries of VISUAL Carlow, visitors glide across a timber floor where social integration seems entirely possible. As in Cimino's Heaven's Gate, this haven exists against the realities of resistance and harsh economics, against a world in the full throttle of seismic change, in terms of progress and innovation—a new world of railways, immigrant workers, pioneering construction, evolving power, and government organization—all moving into a new era. Duggan suggests the lens of Cimino's version of the cattlemen / homesteader conflict in the American frontier serves to allow the individual and the collective to re-negotiate how they co-exist. He also proposes the inherent fragility of parallel versions of history in physically creating the space within a space. Walter Benjamin suggests rupture as catharsis, and in Everything can be done, in principle, Duggan suggests inhabiting a constructed space as a starting point for this.
Cimino's film Heaven's Gate is a film which broke all the rules and supported true art through an often ruthless pursuit of authenticity, to the extent of challenging the prevailing powerful studio system. Often seen as the beginning of money men era, Heaven's Gate marked a changing moment for maverick auteur film directing and the role of the producer. It also branded the Western in clear class struggle, selected social agenda terms.

You Can't Feel What You Feel
'Sometimes I feel like I'm wearing a heavy coat and I would like to be able to get other people to wear it'
'I like touching electric fences and the feeling of an unglazed cup on my teeth' CYT members
Investigating themes of empathy, sensation and connection to place, McGuinness has worked with Carlow Youth Theatre members to create a performance intervention for VISUAL’s gallery spaces. Commissioned by VISUAL in response to the season’s themes, the work explores how the languages of visual arts, theatre and spectacle can combine to communicate with and affect both participants and audiences.
Yvonne McGuinness has an interest in embodied experience of place and re-imagining the everyday by devising projects that create surreal and dynamic moments of interaction and connection to place, time and communities.

Brothers of the Brush at VISUAL Carlow, June 15th 2019
Verdant Productions Presents,
BROTHERS OF THE BRUSH
It’s exactly twenty-five years since the original production of Brothers of the Brush appeared in Dublin. A new production of this classic, tells the story of three house painters, making a meagre living, overseen by an arrogant and shifty boss who is running a small business. Underneath the humour and playfulness of the relationships, a tough world is emerging, where workers are losing faith in old ways.
Set just at the dawn of the “Celtic Tiger”, it is now interesting to note that Heno and Lar have returned from London as work is now readily available in Dublin as the onset of apartment building kicks off in the city.
The need to survive has become far greater than anything else in their lives and manipulation of each is now the new order of the day, where fragile loyalties are tested and taken to limit.
Brothers of the Brush is both entertaining and thought provoking.
Cast
Stephen Jones as Heno (Love Hate & Red Rock & Dublin Old School)
