SEATURTLES, a performance PROLOG Séamas Cain: "The thickness of words is the skin of my artwork. Poetry and theater – and I mean by that a radical theater and poetry of displacements and inventions – is for me the necessary language or counter-language for everyday life. My performance and poetry images never quite take form into completed figures or tableaux, but are involved in a process of never-ending becoming. My images are displayed not as things to be joined together but as things that unfold into one another, that mediate each into the other. My work, which is typified by procession, is precisely what it is to witness something, with what the rights and wrongs of that act are. My artwork emerges out of a history – and struggle – of images, conventions, and meanings, not out of some more abstract 'self.' A single simple gesture is divided already in its meaning. Works of art are caught up in, rather than simply explaining, the current task of self-criticism, as much framed as framing. My artwork is not an account of what it means but of how it means!" Mary Roe O'Neill: "I will speak the words of the performance-work SEATURTLES. Then – ritually, throughout Creevykeel – I will guide the audience in a hunt for seaturtles!" -------------------------------------------------- FIVE SCENES : OF "SEATURTLES" |
