CELTIC ART From Page 5 that draw on the traditional designs but add 20th century elements, said Dierdre Glenn, director of the Irish American Cultural Institute. “There are some people who are bas ing their art form on the old traditions and doing very vibrant and modem things with it,” she said. Public murals, blending the old and new, have popped up on building walls across Ireland in the past decade. A brilliandy colored mural decorates the cover of the 1997/1998 edition of Eire-Ireland. The wall painting in Lenadoon Avenue, West Belfast centers on a stat ue of Cu Chulainn, a mythological hero representing the Easter Rising of 1916. The statue is flanked by traditional Celtic symbols and pictures of Irish leaders float above the image. Paintings of Cu Chulainn can be found on numerous murals, all of which carry politically charged messages and promote nationalism. Like Fitzpatrick, the authors of these murals receive little artistic respect from modem circles, and their works are dis- '- ' " May'?! - June 21 North Carolina at Wilmington EGSE* 601 South College Road, Wilmington, NC 28403 Call us at (910) 962*3243 or 1 (800) 228*5571 Email: summer@uncwil.edu Or visit us at www.uncwil.edu/summsch The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is an EEO/AA institution. ** Saturday, March 11 ■ NC Songwriter*’ Co-op at the AitsCenter. ■ The Mekons w/ Johnny Dowd at Cat’s Cradle. ■ Digger w/The Scaries at Go!

However, the paintings that gained international recognition as part of “Irish Art Now: From the Poetic to the Political,” exhibited at Boston College last fall, do not sit on the other side of a clearly drawn line. Glenn said recent exhibits prove that Ireland holds a strong voice in modem art circles -a voice that doesn’t neces sarily speak with a lilting Irish brogue. “Irish Art Now” explores themes like alienation, contemporary politics and today’s roles for women - all themes that speak to an international audience. “I would not think that most artists would call their art nationalistic, or Celtic,” Glenn said. Instead, she said, most artists working in Ireland and Scotland today take as much pride in their individuality as any modem artist would. Still, traditional and modern Irish concepts work their way in to museum circles. A photograph taken by Willie Doherty superimposes its title, “Longing/Lamenting,” over a blue sky and a grassy field.

The idea of property and who con trols it also enters the exhibit in Paul Seawright’s work that depicts Belfast pubs with cages in front of their doors. It might not use typically revolution ary images, but the work still emits a feeling of political bitterness. Glenn said the diverse styles of Irish and Scottish art continue to add up when one considers that some Irish artists live and work in other countries. “They’re as apt to be working in Geneva or Tokyo as they are in Ireland,” she said. With all its components, there is no doubt that contemporary Irish and Scottish art has a unique voice. But, like modern art in most Western countries, the works migrate between traditionalism, nationalism, globalism and individualism to create a lively scene that spans from the Celtic to the purely contemporary, Glenn said. “Ireland has a very vibrant art scene that is at the cutting edge of contempo rary art.” The Arts & Entertainment Editor can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu. h m JdIM Pop songstress Paula Cole will perform with her band at Cat's Cradle on Friday. Maybe this time around, she'll finally figure out where all the cowboys have gone. Bizbuzz Entertainment News Mo' Money, Mo' Problems Just like Sean “Puffy” Combs and friends sang it, “the mo’ money you come across, the mo’ problems you see." Puffy apparently hasn’t heeded his own lyrics - lately he’s been spreading around his money and running into some serious problems. After a New York dub shooting that left three people injured on Dec. 27, 1999, one of Puffy’s proteges was charged with attempted murder. Being the true blue pal that he is, Puff) decided to help his friend out. Puffy allegedly asked driver Wardel Fenderson to take responsibility for a 9mm gun, offering him $50,000 and a diamond ring. Not too shabby a fee for a minor sub version of the legal system. Puffy pleaded not guilty to ihese bribery charges in Manhattan Criminal Court last Tuesday. Back to Burkittsville Just when you were getting over your nightmares from “The Blair Witch Project,” filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez are about to hit you with follow-ups. Only this time, documentary film maker Joe Berlinger will be directing with Myrick and Sanchez as executive producers. Berlinger is the director of critically acclaimed documentaries “Brother’s Keeper” and “Paradise Lost: the Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills.” Myrick and Sanchez have already committed to a “Blair Witch Project 3,” due out in the fall of 2001, which will serve as a prequel after they finish their comedy “Heat of Love.” Both follow-up films are budgeted for the ghastly range of $7-10 million -a far cry from the original’s $60,000 budget. Hard Rock and Brain Damage Your mother was right - people do get hurt at wild rock concerts, especially Motley Crue concerts. Josephine Allen is currently suing the band for brain damage. Claiming she was injured by a flying piece of guitar at a 1997 concert, she is seeking unspeci fied damages for more than $ 15,000. Mon-Fri 932-9010 11am-10pm 161/? E.

Motley Crue has a history of run ins with the law, including an incident in Guilford County, North Carolina where band members were charged with attempting to start a race riot. Here's to You, Charlie Brown The nation has bid farewell to beloved “Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz, but it’s not the end of Charlie Brown. At least two posthumous releases fea turing the Peanuts gang are scheduled for distribution this year. A video entitled “It’s the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown” will be released, and a 50th anniversary TV special called “Here’s to You, Charlie Brown: 50 Great Years” will show on CBS in May. The TV special will include animat ed characters interacting with real peo pie. Just before he died, Schulz had sent plans for another show to animator Bill Melandez. Melandez has been working on this show, “It’s Only Marbles, Charlie Brown” but plans for its com pletion are uncertain. Compiled by Joanna Pearson
