TGI … Fenster Freitag. “Take A Breath” opened last night at IMMA, Dublin, “a major new exhibition that provides an historical, social, political, and personal examination of breathing; exploring themes of pollution, decolonisation, environmental racism, breath and language, the ecology of war, and breath as meditation.”#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #FuinneogFriday #TakeABreath #IMMA #Dublin #IrishArt #Museums #GLAM #Mastodaoine #Blue #AlexCecchetti #TheJourneyOfOneBreath #Installation

IMMA foyer looking out on the Royal Hospital Kilmainham’s courtyard and clock tower. Interior view of a lounge area with large arched windows, showcasing a historic courtyard outside. Four modern chairs and small tables are arranged near the windows.

Blue curtains partially covering a window with day light shining through. Installation by Alex Cecchetti, “The Journey of One Breath,” 2024. Cecchetti's installation examines the profound life held within a single breath, using freediving as a metaphor for fully experiencing this essence. The installation juxtaposes explorations of the sea and plant life, delving into themes of transformation and interconnectedness. His videos, "Quaderni sottomarini" and "Climbing the Sea," feature dives in the Philippines, including a freedive in the sacred Luluyuan Lake of the Tagbanwa people, highlighting indigenous connections to water.

Although it's only in the last couple of years that I have been hearing US college graduates say "Imma" for "I am going to", this 2010 blog post notes that its use was attested in 1967.

TGIF. There’s a yellow walled vestibule, where the window panes are tinted yellow, in the new Patricia Hurl survey exhibition at IMMA. There’s a bench facing the window. Go find it if you can and sit awhile. #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #TGIF #Chill #Yellow #PatriciaHurl #IMMA #RoyalHospitalKilmainham #Mastodaoine #Dublin
