*JAMES COLEMAN
Opening **6 MARCH, exhibition until 26 April 2009*

****






You are warmly invited to the opening of James Coleman, and we look forward
to welcoming you at Project Arts Centre for a reception from7.30pm onwards
on Friday 6 March, during the Opening of all the venues which begins
at 4pm with
a lecture at IMMA.

The Irish Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with Project Arts Centre,
and the Royal Hibernian Academy, is pleased to announce an important
exhibition by the internationally renowned Irish artist James Coleman.
Featuring works from the 1970s up to the early 2000s, the exhibition
includes many works previously not seen in Ireland, including three of
Coleman’s most celebrated artworks, *Charon (MIT Project)*, 1989, *Seeing
for Oneself*, 1987-88 and *Untitled*, 1998-2002.

Recognised internationally as one of the most important and pioneering
contemporary
artists, the work of James Coleman over the last forty years has transformed
the role of image and sound in visual art, and redefined our relationship
with the artworks we see today in museums and galleries around the world.
His influence can be seen in a generation of younger international artists,
including Steve McQueen, Douglas Gordon, Tino Sehgal, Stan Douglas, and Jeff
Wall.

The works in the exhibition are installed at three venues:

*IMMA:* *So Different... and Yet*, 1980
*Project Arts Centre*: *Box (ahhareturnabout),* 1977; *Untitled*, 1998-2002
*Royal Hibernian Academy:* *Charon (MIT Project),* 1989; *Seeing for Oneself
*, 1987-88; *Connemara Landscape*, 1980

James Coleman was born in Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon in 1941. Since the
1970s, Coleman has exhibited extensively in international museums and
galleries, including more recently the Dia Center for the Arts, New York
(1994-95), Kunstmuseum Luzern, Lucerne (1995), Centre Georges Pompidou,
Musée national d’art moderne, Paris (1996), Fundació Antoni Tàpies,
Barcelona (1999), Lenbachhaus-Kunstbau Städtische Galerie, Munich
(2002),Sprengel
Museum, Hannover (2002), and Museu do Chiado, Museu Nacional de Arte
Contemporânea, Lisbon (2004-05). In 2003, Coleman developed a unique project
at the Louvre in Paris for the exhibition *Léonard de Vinci: dessins et
manuscrits*. In 2007, Coleman participated in Documenta 12 in Kassel,
premiering his new work *Retake with Evidence*, 2007. In 2008, Coleman
completed the successful showing at IMMA of his trilogy of pioneering works
from the 1990s, with the slide installation *Background*, 1991-94, following
the installati on of I N I T I A L S, 1993-94, in 2006 and *Lapsus
Exposure, *1992-94, in 2007. These installations celebrated IMMA’s
acquisition of these major works through funding from the Heritage Committee
of the National Cultural Institutions in 2004.

The current exhibition is accompanied by a substantial new publication
published in association with Thames & Hudson, with new texts by the French
philosopher Jacques Rancière, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the
University
of Paris VIII; Jean Fisher, Professor of Fine Art and
Transcultural Studies, Middlesex University; Luke Gibbons, Keough Family
Chair in Irish Studies, Professor of English, and Concurrent Professor in
the Department of Film, Television and Theatre at the University of Notre
Dame, and Dorothea von Hantelmann, art historian at the Collaborative
Research Centre "Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic
Limits" at the Free University Berlin.

A discussion forum to accompany this exhibition will take place at Project
Arts Centre on Monday 6 April from 5.00pm to 6.30pm.
