Omni Hive Redux - Culture night 2015 heads up

Omni Hive Redux is a return the to Art Hives' first collaborative work, Omni Hive which incorporated each members' disciplines. This installation had only been previously exhibited once before at last years Culture Night. Now with the addition of two new members Regina Healy and Yvonne Patterson we have decided to exhibit this updated work once more in a new environment, in a radically different space.
Omni Hive Redux features freshly remixed video including new 3d animation and collaged film footage as well as more images of group members's artworks and studio spaces which will be projected onto the ceramic and textile sculptures. An audio piece incorporating manipulated samples of bee noises recorded at aviaries by Dennis Ryan and excerpts from his father’s beekeeping demonstrations will be used to accompany the footage.
There will also be a group exhibition as well as ceramic & felting workshops for all ages (times tbc - see our Facebook event page).

We also had a private space with comfy seating in case any one became distressed. We would like to thank the Listeners (bereavement counsellors) from St Mary's Pastoral Centre who made themselves available throughout the session.

During the event Art Hive members were on hand to help with creativity and ideas using the objects people had brought with them, in order that they would leave with a finished piece. The Art Hive artists provided most of the art materials from their own supplies, making sure there was a wide range of options. These included tissue, sugar, and tracing paper; coloured pencils, wax crayons, and paint; glue, scissors, erasers etc etc; wools and embroidery threads; sewing machines and photocopier (the photocopier was particularly useful, as it meant copies could be experimented with, even of three dimensional objects!)

TRIBUTE Bereavement and Loss workshop
Bereavement and Loss workshop hosted by Art Hive
On Saturday 8th November 2014
From 12 until 5pm
At Nest Space (opposite Gamestop), Mitchell St, Clonmel
The purpose of the workshop is to make something beautiful and evocative as a positive reminder (aide-mémoire) of someone who has passed away. This could be a collage, print, textile, a time capsule, or something 3 dimensional (shrine like). It could be a lengthy process, so participants should make sure they give themselves time within the workshop to achieve a finished piece.
When a loved one dies they leave behind so many
physical things. It is often difficult to know what to do with
everything. In time it becomes easier to part with some of these, but there are often a few things we would like to keep forever, as well as photographs.
It is most important to bring mementos of that
person. These can be photographs (which can be photo-copied on site), articles of clothing, pictures from magazines or newspapers, small things; anything that you associate with that person. Give yourself time to choose what to bring. If you want your piece in a frame, please bring one with you. Charity shops and Euro shops are good sources.
Materials and facilities provided: some basic including
sewing machines, a photocopier, glue, paper, background cloth, and printing equipment.
The workshop is for anyone and everyone. Under 16s must be accompanied by an appropriate adult. Everyone and the objects they bring will be treated with the utmost respect.
The workshop is a free event.
