Introducing Invited Curator Colin Martin (Colin Martin )

Colin Martin is an artist and lecturer based in Dublin. He is currently Head of the RHA School. He is a graduate of TU Dublin and NCAD and his current practice is concerned with the intersection of analogue painting with digital and technological cultures. The practice explores spaces that blur boundaries between the real and virtual and where technology, culture and politics have become synthesized. Martin has been an active participant and educator in the Irish visual arts cultural landscape acting as the chairperson in Black Church Print Studio where he initiated projects such as Black Church Process and the A&E public talk series. He has been member of the RHA Council and Programme Board and has initiated public talk series, national and international artist master classes, drawing groups, Critical Correspondence Courses and structured skill workshops for artists at the RHA. He has served as a judge on the RDS Graduate Award Panel, Marmite Prize for Painting, This Is Art and the British Institute Fund.

Satellite Salon comprises two conceptual ideas. The print studio as a site of artistic production is one that facilitates and supports modes of production in printmaking. Print studios are factorial communal spaces that are both inclusive and accessible. They are sustaining spaces that are hands-on and haptic and filled with specialist materials and technical knowledge. Printmakers and artists orbit these spaces supported by their gravitational pull and benefit from the mutual support and opportunity that arises. The term Salone derives from the French term for a reception space. These spaces contradictorily create an elite space for specialism, while simultaneously creating a bounded inclusivity within that envelope. The salon typically created a formal device to create commonality between disparate elements. Inevitably hierarchies between genres developed, the humility of still lives were skyed while history paintings were hung on the privileged eye level. On balance the salon space is an egalitarian one that corresponds to the social nature of spaces such as the Black Church Print Studio. The leveling nature of the print studio is both an intergenerational workspace that accommodates artists working at various levels of experience in a specialist field.

โ€˜When I make a painting I never know what it will look like, it follows an idea, itโ€™s a gamble, sometimes it works, sometimes itโ€™s scrapped. I have an established routine of sorts, certain ways in-to an idea. The โ€˜Processโ€™ Residency will shake this up, I anticipate some boundaries, control, work, preemptive actions, back up plans, no plans, failure and success.ย There are very little technical restrictions in my practice, I use everything. Oil paint, watercolor, paper, found paper, linen etc, oftentimes I use it all together. Iโ€™m buzzing to be reigned in a bit during my โ€˜Processโ€™ residency and follow a set of technical guidelines. Un-rooted trees, incongruous skies, discontent beyond the horizon. I will be a novice in the print studio, keen and curious and welcoming the unknownโ€™. David Eager Maher

"In my previous project, 50ยฐ55'44"N 0ยฐ58'26"E, I explored these ideas through lithographic prints that combined delicate drawings and fragments of reflective writing. This work sought to map an internal, emotional landscape-using word and image to articulate something that neither could express alone.
The residency at Black Church Print Studio will allow me to expand this research by focusing not on a specific physical site, but on the site of the printmaking studio itself -a space of process, repetition, and material experimentation". - Sitsong Chen
