DESCRIPTION

Abridged aims to commission and publish contemporary/experimental poetry plus contemporary art freed from exhibition ties and especially commissioned for the magazine. We encourage poets/artists to investigate the articulation of ‘Abridged’ themes. For example our last few issues have been concerned with Time, Absence, Magnolia and Nostalgia. These themes focus on contemporary concerns in a rapidly changing society. We are offering an alternative and complete integration of poetry, art and design. We experiment continually. We also stray into the exhibition format producing contemporary, innovative and challenging work accompanied by a free publication. www.abridgedonline.com

The opening of the Abandoned Clare exhibition in the X-PO in Kilnaboy, North Clare is appropriate on many levels. The

former post office closed in 2003 and like some of the buildings documented in Abandoned Clare, it has since changed function and purpose. Reopened as a durational public art project in 2007 it performs as a socio-cultural prism, reflecting the interests of incomers and longstanding residents and aspects of the local and the global, much as the post office used to do when it served the diverse communities of the area. The old post office had become an abject and forlorn reminder of rural conviviality. Now reframed as an artwork it functions as an active reflexive space providing a location for the collective public consideration of place-based knowledge. Farming is the primary economic mainstay in the region. The imminent reconfiguration of EU agricultural subsidies in 2013 means that the maintenance of ‘farming landscape’, or sustainable heritage farming will become an option for farmers in North Clare in coming years. This policy reconfiguration represents a paradigmatic shift from conceptualising rural environments as sites for raw food and energy production to recognising the ‘design value’ of rural areas as arenas for cultural production. In North Clare, although family farming is still the main means of generating income at present, it is now increasingly combined with off-farm work. The generation of farmers for whom ‘traditional’ smallholding was a way of life will soon be retiring. Making visible the scale and nature of rural farm closures Abandoned Clare draws attention to the mute traces of specific, local farming knowledge that are vanishing, along with their potential value to future generations.

Well it’s about abandonment. Not always a physical abandonment either. It’s the abandonment of hopes, of dreams, of

expectation. It’s the abridgement of a people and a place that is the thing. As it’s put in Citizen Kane: ‘forty-nine thousand acres of nothing but scenery and statues. I’m lonesome.’ People need more than history, they need a future and they need to believe they can have a future. All too often people in authority forget that, particularly so it seems those in government in recent times. Fortunately there’s always someone even in the most challenging of circumstances who will keep trying even if the odds are stacked against them. And a good thing there is too. We need the dreamers and the fools. We need our Xanadus and our Towers of Babel. So whilst on one hand Abandoned Clare is about failure and defeat it also is implicitly about the strength of the human spirit. We’re not talking about an unfettered capitalism that will abandon a locale because they can make t-shirts for two pennies a thousand elsewhere. We’re talking about people who believe in a place; its history, its present and future. The farmers, the teachers, the business people, even the artists. We need a people who will hang in there for as long as they can in the face of economic ruin as well as governmental folly and negligence. Otherwise it will be all about scenery and statues. Nothing else.

Following on from our successful Abandoned Donegal project Abridged is collaborating with Co Clare based artist, Deirdre O’Mahony, on Abridged 0 - 20: Abandoned Clare. Whereas Abandoned Donegal focused on, in the main, urban commercial property, the Clare project sees the focus shift to contemporary rural abandonment as economic and social factors that have forced the abandonment of the rural in favour of the

urban are visually articulated and explored. The social implications of rural abandonment further isolate and marginalize vulnerable rural populations, contribute to poorer demographics and aging rural populations, lead to a loss of land management skills, knowledge and tradition, and the loss of social and community structures can lead to adverse health factors including depression and alcoholism. Abandoned buildings and the accompanying abandoned land can also have an adverse effect on the environment.

O’Mahony has already examined the ecological effects of abandonment through the public artwork, Cross Land, an exploration of the regulatory, ecological and physical effects of changes in farming practices as evidenced in the growth of Hazel scrub in the Burren. Abandonment of land may also lead to the loss in landscape value, and of course access to this landscape. Many species of plant and animal have evolved to become dependent on a degree of human impact through agriculture for their survival; once agriculture stops these species are threatened.

This project allows Abridged to continue its stated policy of innovative visual art/magazine collaborations, producing work that is artistically excellent and socially relevant. Abridged 0 – 20: Abandoned Clare examines the nature of change. It stands as a reflection of the times and as a warning to the future.

Gregory McCartneyAbridged

Agri-culture has inspired the local social, cultural and economic logic In County Clare. In pre’ Celtic Tiger’ times when property was cheap, people from all over the world with interests in ecological self-sufficiency and alternative ways of living settled in the region. The formation of a co-operative school in Roxton near Corofin was evidence of social movements in the locality in the early 1980s. Called ‘the Shed‘ the school was later expanded to include a shop, a restaurant, a playgroup, a window manufacturing company and a Liscannor stone workshop. In time, children grew up, people moved and in 2009 the only part of the complex in use was the window company and the stone workshop, now used as a car repair shop. The abandoned school building may once more find a new purpose as it expands to include car dismantlers. The story is not over, simply taking a new turn.

The repair shops for electrical equipment, bicycles, tractors, and the businesses that supported these trades have closed. The craft skills used by men like Paddy Cahir from Rinnamona, who built a fine stone cowshed with his brother Sean are being lost. Paddy made carts, wired houses, plastered walls, cut stone and built walls. His father John Cahir was a wheelwright and an artist, in Barrie Cooke’s Map of Kilnaboy 1954 – 1984, he is named along with others in the area. Now all the businesses in Kilnaboy are gone; the tailor, the blacksmith, the three shops, the last of which, Mary Shop’s, closed in the 1990s. Cooke’s Kilnaboy home where he lived when he first arrived in Ireland, stands empty and derelict. The march of globalisation is evident in the multi-national supermarkets opening in out-of-town shopping centres in medium size towns like Ennis and Kilrush. Grocery shops, creameries,

Miltown Malbay Farmhouse, 10th June 2011.

pubs, butchers and post offices are gradually closing in places like Mullagh and Ballyea. Cinemas are dark in Scarriff and Kilrush, and in Ennis traders are finding it hard to compete with internet shopping. Ennistymon’s famous shop and pub fronts are full of estate agent signs and an iconic landmark like Blake’s corner in Ennistymon is presently a contested planning issue as it is scheduled for demolition or relocation to make room for a new access route to Lahinch.

The intention with Abandoned Clare is not to lament a lost utopian past but to stimulate, provoke and provide evidence of other ways of doing things. When reviewing the relationship between radicalism and nostalgia Lucy Lippard reminds us that ‘utopia, too is a necessary and authentic goal, the object of a longing that may never be fulfilled but functions positively and authentically for just that reason.’ By making visible the ruins of abandonment; the bike repair shop, the mushroom farm, the alternative school, the images remind the viewer of the frugal, mindful habits, the utopian dreams that once played out in rural Clare.

Given the near-collapse of the unregulated free-market economy, is there now a case for re-visiting a revived idea of rural collectivism in the face of anxiety over food security and the unsustainability of an agricultural system

entirely dependent on oil? Lippard makes a case for ‘emotional retrospection’, balanced by local knowledge and critical curiosity. This quality is best understood in the words of cultural theorist Homi Bhabha quoted by Lippard in her book The Lure of the Local. ‘Remembering is never a quiet act of introspection. It is a painful re-membering, a putting together of the dismembered past to make sense of the trauma of the present.’

When Abandoned Clare was first proposed in 2009 rural Clare looked very different. The frenzied building developments, housing schemes and hotels, seemed to signify an obsession with shedding any reminder of the economic stagnation in the past. Now that the boom is over, the ‘Abandoned’ project, with its focus on the signs of rural abandonment could be read as a melancholic coda to the all-pervading litany of economic disaster. Yet behind the images lie stories, and within the stories are the germs of ideas and possibilities for the future, a kind of common sense that might serve as a generative catalyst for ideas on a sustainable future for rural communities.

What is Abridged?

Abridged aims to commission and publish contemporary/experimental poetry plus contemporary art freed from exhibition ties and especially commissioned for the magazine. We encourage poets/artists to investigate the articulation of ‘Abridged’ themes. For example our last few issues have been concerned with Time, Absence, Magnolia and Nostalgia. These themes focus on contemporary concerns in a rapidly changing society. We are offering an alternative and complete integration of poetry, art and design. We experiment continually. We also stray into the exhibition format producing contemporary, innovative and challenging work accompanied by a free publication.

Why call it Abridged?

Because we are. You are. Everyone is. It also gives us a completeness to aspire to. People were rather dubious in regard to the name when we first unveiled it. However it’s become quite iconic and serves its purpose as we intended.

Who is Abridged?

At the moment Abridged is Gregory McCartney and Susanna Galbraith. However the make-up of Abridged is quite fluid and we have worked with various personnel over the years and no doubt will continue to do so. People come and go. The light still flashes.

How many issues of Abridged are there per year?

Generally there are three issues per year though this can increase with the addition of our exhibition publications and other project magazines.

Where can we get Abridged?

Abridged is generally available at art galleries and arts organisations in Belfast, Dublin, Derry, Galway. Usually for a limited period as they go very quickly. You can also download a free pdf of each issue on the Abridged website.

How long has Abridged been going?

Officially since 2004. We like to think there has always been Abridged people though.

Why is Abridged numbered as it is rather than dated with issue number as most other publications are?

We want Abridged to be timeless hence the lack of a date to condemn it to the archives. We ‘ahem’ borrowed Factory Records system of cataloguing and added a zero to signify abridgment.

Why are there gaps in the list of magazines/projects?

Abridged projects are numbered as they are conceived rather than born. Some (for various reasons) don’t make it to existence hence the gaps. We do on occasion revisit projects. For example Abandoned Donegal originated in 2007 but wasn’t born until 2010 therefore it has the 0 – 7 moniker.
