BLACKROCK CASTLE

BLACKROCK CASTLE

BLACKROCK CASTLE OBSERVATORY – THE WALLS PROJECT

I was very happy to get back to Cork and this time to get a big 16meter by 5.5 meter painting of Spacer. This one is an extension of the loves me loves me not painting presented initially for the European Space Agencies Living Planet Symposium in Milan earlier this year.

After chatting with the guys in the ESA and Blackrock Castle Observatory we deicided that we would do another version of Spacer plucking a daisy. Again, this one is about climate and the choice we make with nature and the environment so its great to continue that message and also as part celebration for the Moon landings 50 years ago.

This project wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the Edel and Gabe at the Walls project and is Commissioned by CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory, it is funded through Cork City Council’s new City Centre Placemaking Fund. In February 2019, Cork City Council issued an open call for submissions which would “enhance, improve, and enliven people’s experience of Cork city centre” through this fund and ten projects were successful.

The team at The Observatory also used new mural as an anchor for City Centre outreach activities, including as a stop on a new walking trail, “The Moon Walk” that chronicles the events of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, using Cork City landmarks as milestones. The walk was launched earlier today as NASA Astronaut Dan Tani paid a visit to The Observatory.

For more information see : https://www.bco.ie/events/cork-moon-walk/

CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory lead celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. While RTÉ are broadcasting a live commemorative show from the observatory itself on Saturday the 20th July, the BCO observatory team will bring the space experience to the heart of the city by transforming Nano Nagle Place and St Peter’s Cork into The Moon and The Earth respectively for the whole weekend.

These celebrations are an important reminder of humanity’s most daring and impressive achievement” says Dr Niall Smith, Head of CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory. “I know that seeing this event live had a deeply profound impact on me, and here at the observatory, we’re hoping that these anniversary celebrations will serve to rekindle that inspirational spirit for a generation that wasn’t lucky enough to see this incredible moment first-hand”.

In honour of the iconic anniversary, the observatory will host a brand-new exhibit from July 22nd, on all things Apollo. They will also open up a whole new area that allows visitors to observe some of the real-time research taking place in their labs.

VR GRAFFITI PAINTING

VIRTUAL REALITY PAINITING SIMULATOR

PAINTING IN VR WITH KINGSPRAY VR SOFTWARE

Its very immersive and a lot of fun. Painting in VR is a good way for learning how to upscael your work and also prepare for larger out door walls. Its a great place to practice using different caps and spray  nozzle sizes and nice way of testing colours before you go any buy.

That said there are a lot of colours to choose from. Infact, Far more available then you can actually buy. The colour picker would be similar to a photoshop or graphics program colour wheel.

All in all. Its a lot of fun. The software retails for around 20 Euro but the Hardware can cost you a pretty penny.  You will need a high grade graphics card/computer  and the VR Set up. In this case, I was using the HTC Vive on an Alienware laptop but Kingspray and other similar programs are also available on Oculas.

BAYSIDE AND BALDOYLE

BAYSIDE AND BALDOYLE

BAYSIDE/BALDOYLE TUNNEL ART PROJECT

Earlier this year I worked on a great project with the residents of Bayside in Dublin. The project was designed by the locals of Bayside and Baldoyle in Dublin with support from Iarnród Éireann. The site chosen was the tunnel under the DART station that connects each of the resident groups and Baldoyle Tidy Towns.

From the residents assc:
The decision to engage a street artist to paint the underpass was based on the fact that this important link between Bayside and Baldoyle was in need of a facelift. The climate change theme is fitting because the underpass provides an important off-road ‘green’ link for walkers and cyclists from both communities who wish to access the UNESCO-designated Dublin Bay Biosphere areas such as Bull Island and Baldoyle Estuary.

Bayside Community Association is grateful to Fingal County Council for the Arts grant which has made this project possible. The project is a cross community one with Baldoyle Tidy Towns. The two community groups are grateful to Iarnród Éireann for permission to paint the underpass and to Pobalscoil Neasáin and Trackside Tennis Club for their valuable cooperation.

BAYSIDE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

As part of the project we also worked with transition year students on a few stencil class. This was just teaching the basics on how to make stencils and also to get the students to think of compositions for other paintings.

The art work for the tunnel was to be based on climate change and after talking with the residents and students we decided to recreate some of the European Space Agency Project I worked on earlier in the year. For the ESA climate project (you can see here) I produced a number of stencil on canvas paintings for the UK climate office for the living planet symposium in Milan. Each of the paintings reflected various topics collected on satellite climate data. The role of the climate office aims to increase the use of European, and global, satellite-based Earth Observation data by the climate science and modelling community.

The office oversees a research programme that exploits archived and emerging satellite observations to develop long-term, global data records that describe the evolution of key components of the Earth system, known as Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) including land cover, land surface temperature, soil moisture, fire, biomass, lakes, permafrost, snow, glaciers, ice sheets (Antarctica and Greenland), sea ice, sea level, sea state, sea surface salinity, ocean colour, sea surface temperature, greenhouse gases, water vapour, ozone, aerosol, and cloud

The students will use some of these images to recreate their own works and expand on the idea of climate awareness and climate change later in 2020. you can follow me on social media or the bayside residents association.

PORTLAOISE

Collaboration Creative Laois & The Walls project

Acollaborative project with with @creativelaois  and the from the guys @WaterfordWalls and @dunamasecollege in portlaoise.

As part of the Creative Ireland Laois programme, a project was developed in partnership with the Heritage Office, Arts Office and with students at Dunamase College, Portlaoise to install the mural.

The mural depicts Rory Óg O Moore and his wife Margaret O’Byrne (of the famed O’Byrne Clan of Wicklow). The iconic Laois site the Rock of Dunamase is in the background

Students and staff from Dunamase College were on hand to help out on Friday and leave their mark on the painting which is designed to last on the wall well into the future

EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY COMP

EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY COMP

GRAFFITI WITHOUT GRAVITY STREET ART COMP

ESA and The Hague Street Art teamed up for a unique crossover project between street art and space travel.

On 18 May 2018, 12 street artists from across Europe competed to create their own masterpiece on a square canvas using ‘space’ as inspiration at Space Expo in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Two participants were picked from a selection of wild card entries.

A three-member jury, together with voting by the public, will select which artist created the very best artwork within the deadline of one day.

The selected artist will win a seat on a parabolic flight and become the first street artist to sign a piece of art in microgravity.

During three-hour flights, ESA runs experiments on a rollercoaster aircraft that offers 20 seconds of zero gravity at the top of the apex as it flies up and down at 45° angles.

See the final 12 products here .
Voting closed 1st June 2018.
