    Art and archaeology: collaborations, conversations, criticisms
    (Springer, 2014) Cochrane, Andrew; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Russell, Ian Alden; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This volume presents a collection of interdisciplinary collaborations between contemporary art, heritage, anthropological, and archaeological practitioners. Departing from the proceedings of the Sixth World Archaeological Congress's 'Archaeologies of Art' theme and ábhar agus Meon exhibitions, it includes papers by seminal figures as well as experimental work by those who are exploring the application of artistic methods and theory to the practice of archaeology. Art and archaeology: collaborations, conversations, criticisms encourages the creative interplay of various approaches to 'art' and 'archaeology' so these new modes of expression can contribute to how we understand the world. Established topics such as cave art, monumental architecture and land art will be discussed alongside contemporary video art, performance art and relational arts practices. Here, the parallel roles of artists as makers of new worlds and archaeologists as makers of pasts worlds are brought together to understand the influences of human creativity.

    Interface I: day of the figurines
    (Springer, 2014) Cochrane, Andrew; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Russell, Ian Alden; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    On 15 December 2007, IRAC intervened in the meeting of the Theoretical Archaeology Group at The Kings Manor, University of York. One hundred-fifty replica Cycladic figurines were placed in the building and its grounds. In the days that followed, some figurines were moved, some destroyed, some stolen, some collected, and some disappeared completely. Few were recorded and documented.

    Art and archaeology: the Ábhar agus Meon exhibition series
    (Springer, 2014) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Russell, Ian Alden; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    In the summer of 2008, I curated a series of contemporary art projects entitled Ábhar agus Meon as part of Ireland’s hosting of the Sixth World Archaeological Congress at University College Dublin. The projects were placed in the shared spaces between the contemporary arts, archaeology and heritage in Ireland. This article is a reflective statement and contextualisation of the projects and their outcomes. Full information and images of all the works are available at: www.amexhibition.com
