Out of Control
Out Of Control by Maria Ann Hylton is a contemporary drama. It tells the story of Karen,
a bright 18‐year old who is planning to go to college and has her whole future ahead of
her. Unfortunately for the past six months Chloe, the school bully has been ‘messing with
her head’. So Karen decides to call in her cousin Sharon, a tough 22‐year‐old Dubliner
who has her own ‘method’ of dealing with this situation.
This is a short, sharp, sinister play, which delves into the issues that arise from bullying
amongst women.
Liam Moran & Maria Ann Hylton founded Morton Films & Media in 05. They have
produced the following & amongst Maria’s credits: she wrote & directed ‘Bittersweet’ a
short film which will be screened at the Underground Festival ‐ London, Short Day Film
Festival ‐ Galway & Yellow Fever Festival – Belfast. It has already had its premiere at the
Underground Film Festival VIII Dublin. She wrote & directed ‘The Couple’ a short film
which was shortlisted for the Jameson Best Irish Short Film Award in 05 ‐ Cork Film
Festival. Both were executive producers on the feature ‘8.5 Hours’, which has won
several awards and was screened at Cannes Film Festival Marche Du Film 09. It had a
cinema release in Ireland, and can be purchased on DVD at good reputable stores. She is
also a playwright and wrote ‘Conditioned’, which was chosen as part of the ‘Playground
Theatre’ readings for Axis in 07 and was staged at the International Bar & Axis Centre

of its success will return in 2012.

'Dubliners....and Other Faces'
Frank Kiely Solo Show
‘Dubliners....and Other Faces’
Opening 6pm Thursday 21st October 2010
Wine and music reception
www.powerscourtgallery.com
Frank Kiely’s Dublin work is inspired by the early writings of James Joyce, and the questions Joyce poses of life in the capital city. These are questions Kiely wrestles within himself; love, adventure, ageing, betrayal and death. For Kiely ambiguity is the only answer. He sees these themes reoccurring in his Irish life: in his family and friends. His work is not exclusively Dublin-centric but includes works from other places and stories of other faces; Galway, London, Irish fiction and folklore.
1st October - 12 October 2010
'Littleblood' James Kenny
“Burning Burning Burning,
there was finally something
the Sun could not burn...”
Crow's Last Stand. Ted Hughes
Powerscourt Gallery is proud to host James Kenny’s boutique show ‘Littleblood’ from 30th September 2010 until 12th October 2010.
This series of works on paper are inspired by the Poems of Ted Hughes, the tribes of Crows that populate my home town of Greystones, Co Wicklow, and the materials that they are created with”.
“Expressionistic and spontaneous, I allow my chosen materials their own free will, corralling and controlling them as well as I am able as they spill across the page in their own exuberant way, coalescing into the image of Crow, who stands defiant on the page, proud yet ragged, on stick thin legs, flightless”. (James Kenny)
‘Littleblood’ will be launched in the Powerscourt Gallery on Thursday 30th September 2010, 6-8pm, Wine reception and music.
RSVP: art@powerscourtgallery.com
James Kenny’s show will run until Tuesday 12th October 2010.

Hearts and Minds
Keith Seybert’s “Hearts and Minds” exhibition now at Powerscourt Gallery:
The title, “Hearts and Minds” harkens back to the distinction drawn by the philosopher Plato, between the heart and the mind; between emotion and thought; a false dichotomy if modern trends in cognitive psychology are to be believed.
The phrase "winning the hearts and minds" has, through incessant repetition in recent years, become indelibly linked with counterinsurgency objectives implemented in pursuit of an interventionist foreign policy. For example, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps’ Counterinsurgency Field Manual, states that, "Protracted popular war is best countered by winning the 'hearts and minds' of the populace."
The objects in this exhibition were inspired by considering these accepted meanings and the images and phrases generated by this process. Some are more playful and humorous; others take a darker tone. But all, I trust, will provoke a thoughtful engagement of material and meaning.
Thursday Oct 1st at 6pm
An Evening with Jimmy T. Murakami
In this Thursday's Powerscourt Gallery artist talk, the Irish-based Japanese-Californian artist Jimmy T. Murakami will discuss his award-winning international career in film

These camp paintings are based on Murakami's childhood experience of living in a Japanese American "War Relocation Camp" in California as part of the forcible relocation and internment in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans to such camps in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
A film sponsored by the Irish arts council on Jimmy T. Murakami's life is due out in February 2010.
