依莎贝拉.诺兰（ Isabel Nolan）

依莎贝拉.诺兰（ Isabel Nolan）出生于都柏林，现常驻都柏林。诺兰利用一系列的媒体艺术进行创作，这包括绘画，素描，雕塑和动漫。在绘画时，她同样运用传统的抽象艺术，比喻 的手法和想象力使其作品中呈现的世界是一个亲密的世界，古怪的世界，嫉妒绝望的世界和充满补偿的快乐的世界。这些作品的大小适中，她没有时间创作夸张的巨 大作品。这些作品倾向通过堆积每日的奇迹和普通的情感例如孤独，柔情，挫折，恐惧和希望来进行探索。通过丰富的想象力，实际生活中的一些世俗细节在她的作 品中变得栩栩如生。

诺兰于1998年在贝尔法斯特的Proposition美术馆举办了第一次个人作品展览。从那以后，她在歌德学院（2003），设计艺术中心 （2005），巴尔神殿画廊和工作室（2005），四（2005），都柏林，举办了个人作品展。在格拉斯哥工作室她举办个人画展并且参加了2006年格拉 斯哥国际展。她代表爱尔兰参加了2005年威尼斯双年展的联合展览，作品为“2005爱尔兰在威尼斯”，随后，在2006年夸克的路易斯.格鲁克斯曼画廊 展出。2006年她还为都柏林的道格拉斯海德画廊非现场创作了“在一起就足够”。她曾经参加了数个联合展览包括在都柏林的爱尔兰现代艺术博物馆举办的 （2002）和“时间就像诺言”（2004），在夸克的“傲慢1和2（2003和2005），在塞尔维亚和黑山的“南斯拉夫双年展之青年艺术家展” （2004），在斯莱戈的模范艺术和尼兰德美术馆的“联合——全部适合的意图”，和“岛国印象（IMMA作品集）。她的作品也在中国北京的世纪坛和上海艺 术博物馆展出。在2007年初，她在科林美术馆举办了一次个人艺术展。她的作品被收入爱尔兰现代艺术博物馆，被爱尔兰和海外各国列入众多的公共和私人收 藏。

Isabel NOLAN
Born and currently based in Dublin, Nolan works in a range of media that includes painting, drawing, sculpture, and video animation. Drawing equally on traditions of abstraction, figuration and the ‘imagetext’ the world evoked in Nolan’s work is a world of intimacies and oddities, of quiet desperation and compensatory joys. Usually modest in scale these works have little time for bombast or monumentality, preferring to explore by accumulating increments a kaleidoscopic array of everyday wonders and commonplace feelings such as loneliness, tenderness, frustration, fear and hope. The mundane particularities of the real are repeatedly enlivened in her work by the workings of a spirited, off-beat imagination.
Nolan’s first one-person exhibition was at the Proposition Gallery, Belfast, in 1998 and since then she has had solo exhibitions at the Goethe Institute (2003), Project Arts Centre (2005), Temple Bar Gallery & Studios (2005) and Four (2005), in Dublin, and in The Studio, Glasgow, as part of Glasgow International 2006. She represented Ireland at the 2005 Venice Biennale in a group exhibition, ‘Ireland at Venice 2005′, which was subsequently presented at the Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Cork, in 2006. In 2006 she also produced an off-site project ‘Together is Enough’ for the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions including (2002) and ‘Tir na nog’ (2004), both at The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, ‘Superbia 1 & 2′, Cork (2003 & 2005), ‘The Yugoslav Biennial for Young Artists’, Serbia-Montenegro (2004), ‘Coalesce - With All Due Intent’, Model Art & Niland Gallery, Sligo (2004), and ‘Views from an Island (Collection of IMMA)’, Millenium Monument, Beijing and Shanghai Art Museum, China. She had her first solo exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery in early 2007. Her work is represented in the collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art and in various collections, public and private, in Ireland and abroad.

The condition of emptiness
This takes the form of one side of an email correspondence in which the main character describes their recent life where they have lived without ‘language’, taking away all text and audio from their surroundings.
