Gailearaí an Screig Éalain Comhaimseartha Ghaelach, Baile na Finne, Dún na nGall e. info@searc.ie Light and Landscape - Solas agus Talamh Exhibition Offline 14.07.02-14.08.02 Online since 21.07.02 Our clients come to us by reputation. The people we work for trust our vision because we work hard to understand theirs. Our clients think bigger, they think global and when they think Internet they think Searc.ie. As we work extensively with artists we decided to sponsor a realtime exhibition in Baile na Finne. In Donegal, the natural environment is so powerful, so magnificent, that it demanded acknowledgement in an increasingly urbanised Ireland. The artificial light of the built environment is absent from the majority of the world's geography yet it dominates the representation of space in contemporary art practise and the division between the urban artist and the rural landscape appears to have few interfaces. The majority of the artists in this exhibition work outside the studio, in the open, painting, drawing, photographing or sculpting the rural Irish environment. In Irish 'Solus' has connotations, not just of 'light' but of knowledge, while 'Talamh', meaning 'land', is imbibed with the idea of a grounded or centred self. It is in this separate place, between seeing and meaning, that these artists articulate the natural environment in all its etheareal solidity.
