PS1
and Banff decisions (June 28, 2002)
The
PS1 Award is the top award in the visual arts given out by the
Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon. It carries a studio
in New York, an apartment and a stipend, for a year (more here).
The award for 2002-2003 goes to Declan Clarke. It costs the Council
around ó40,856 a year. Artists in Northern Ireland were very upset
earlier this year when the Arts Council of Northern Ireland decided
no longer to send an artist to the PS1 scheme (more here).
If
Clarke's name sounds familiar, it may be because of an article
published in the Irish Times Magazine on April 7 of this
year. Clarke was portrayed, ironically enough, as one of a whole
generation of artists allegedly ignored in their home country
and finding fame and succour in England. Rarely has the Irish
Times published such a misleading and poorly informed article
on the visual arts.
Meanwhile
Brendan Earley has received the Banff Residency Award.

The PS1 with all it's good intentions always seems to suffer
from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome for the selected N.Irish
artists .They disappear and are never seen again!

| Comment 2 |
ACNI should take more interest in the artists they send to
New York and there should be a one person show back in
Belfast to highlight the artist and their work.

When are the ACNI going to hold a PS1
group show in N.Ireland. I for one want to see the work of
the selected artists and what they get up to once sent to
New York.

,literally.
