Annals Of the Four Masters and Alice Maher

category national | arts and media | other press author Thursday October 11, 2007 19:09author by C Murray Report this post to the editors

Current Exhibitions

The Long Room library in TCD is exhibiting the Annals of the Four Masters until the
21st of December 2007.
http://www.tcd.ie/library/heritage/events.php
http://www.ucc.ie/celt/publishd.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annals_of_the_Four_Masters

They date from 2242 to 1616.
Trinity has also got Piers Plowman amongst other books, however you need a special permission
to access some of the texts or be a student in the Lit Dept.
Rood IV- Alice Maher

Interestingly the Annals were part of the field work of the Counter Reformation in the 1600's
at the Catholic University in Louvain:- which is known as Leuven (The home of Stella Artois
amongst other things). The Catholic University retains the French Spelling in its address and
domain name and recently celebrated it's 400th anniversary with a visit by President Mc Aleese,
a cultural programme and music based on the Flight of the Earls. Some donors gave hefty Cheques
to the initiative (incl. one of one million Euros).

A social Centre in Leuven was recently evicted due to the rising prices and property values
in this town and the local solarium and swimming pool was demolished, also for reasons
of gentrification and commerce.

The Annals:- http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06163b.htm
The Squat Eviction:- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/83115

The History of the University and Library at Leuven is quite gory, with many considering it a
'Martyr's' college, the reading and research in that area would be around the reign of Elizabeth the
First of England.

Alica Maher's exhibiton at the RHA in Ely Place will be over on the 28th of this month
and is worth the visit:-

Personally I wouldn't believe a word these old crooks wrote. Maybe in the middle ages people were fooled by their pious act, but today we know then for what they really are.

Wouldn't it be good if these works were sold off to pay back the Irish Taxpayer for the €2,000,000,000 we have had to shell out to pay for Roman Catholic Sex Abuse?

Yes, TWO BILLION EURO, paid by the Irish People on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, thanks to the Government!!!

The four 'anals', anyway.
The issue of one million euro donation to Louvain Uni in the context of the eviction of Squatti
Dei was not an urgency. The Town of Leuven is familiar and the Irish interests over there are
big +money. The Annals may have comprsied the Tony O Reilly selective memory of the
nobility but everything has it's place in the making of history, and the complete neglect of
the heritage of Tara (for example) is chronicled and safely kept by those with concern. The Poets
story tellers and protestors. there's official history and otherwise.

The Alice Maher is really good btw.
Living artists, musicians and writers are not something money can by and though the visit
of the president was widely publicised here and In Leuven, very few of the Irish community
over there thought to look at why the kids have nowhere to go...

The title of the above article was a bit unfair, because it focussed on the 'Four Masters' and just stuck Maher in
as another exhibition that is ongoing in the Capital. So, in the interest of redressing the balance, I am publishing
a Maher image entitled 'Chaplet'. Its technique escapes me right now, because it is a few years since I saw the image.
Its a three quarter profile, self-portrait of Maher.It evokes Fra Angelico Virgins and is set against a velvety black ground.
There were only three- to five originals and they are quite pricey. However, in an art historical, cultural expression context
they 'evoke' and resonate. One of the things that people talked about today at the IAWM conference was how they do not
recognise the image that our media portrays of them, and how the 'idea' of Iraq and the 'idea' of Palestine is what is
being wiped out- their unique cultural expression and their rich histories. and yet the dignity of the speakers and their
education in the importance of cultural expression is humbling. This is particularly in relation to Mira Dabit who
spoke of going through 12 roadblocks to visit family . The Iraq speaker told us of museums and archaeological
sites devastated by the purveyors of -corporatism- and market and I wonder what in the culture of money they seek to preserve
and pass on, that is so important to Western society. arrogance, destruction and greed?

We seem perfectly willing to bow to the destruction of our heritage and our cultural heart for profit.
Dick Roche who signed the destruction of Tara 24 hours before going to the EU desk to push the Reform Treaty
(aided and abetted by the Green Party and Charlie Mc Greevy in this morning's Irish Times) does not
state what he means by ' Ireland will be left behind' if we do not agree to this treaty.A catalogue of laws that
have eroded and decimated our culture and a lack of investment in Health and Education seems the by-product of FF
coupled with multi-million euro investment in places like Louvain (mentioned at top of article) which is a hard sell
and ignorant of what creates art.
