Introduction
We can safely assert that by now EVA has achieved the objectives it set in 1977, viz. "to provide the public with an opportunity to visit and experience an exhibition not normally available in the region and at the same time stimulate an awareness oft he visual arts here" . In the interim it has provided a platform for hundreds of young artists not just from the region but from the entire Country, North and South, and many early exhibitors and prizewinners have gone on to build their reputations on this foundation.
The decision from 1979 onwards to invite an adjudicatorfrom outside the country has had a major impact on the style and quality oft he show and, more important, on the integrity of the selection process. This ensured EVA had a distinctive personality from year to year and to an extent avoided the risk of stagnation. The paradox is that even the variety provided by successive international selectors hardly seems enough to sustain enthusiasm over an extended period. The Committee recognise this and are conscious that EVA's life cycle has reached a plateau. The boost it now needs may well come in part at least from the timely development of the Limerick City Gallery which has housed the exhibition since 1977 and which is now being enlarged and modernised on relocation of the City Library. This opens up possibilities for diversification, e.g . inclusion of large-scale installations and even performance art which up to this could not have been considered owing to space restrictions in the old Gallery. Indeed this expanded space is already being taken advantage of in EVA 85 while the Gallery is still in its unfinished state and by 1986we look forward to a modern Gallery with exciting potential.
This year our prize fund has been substantially increased through the generosity of our growing list of Sponsors who deserve our sincerest thanks. Weare a I so very conscious of and grateful for the financial vote of confidence shown in EVA by The Arts Cou nci I at a time when their a I ready inadequate resources are overstretched.
The annual Lecture Series which is now integrally associate with EVA is being held in the Gallery this year and we would like to thank the Regional Management Centre for their work in organising the Series. Included on the panel will be Rudi Fuchs, the selector, who will talk about EVA 85.1n addition a special Education Sub-Committee has been planning an ambitious programme aimed at involving primary and secondary school art teachers and pupils and we would hope this too would become an annual feature. (Full details of both these fringe activities appear elsewhere in the catalogue.)
Although the Limerick City Gallery has been the venue for EVA since 1977, this facility is not taken for granted and we must express our indebtedness to the City Manager, Mr. Tom Rice and to the newly-appointed Gallery Director/Curator Mr. Paul O'Reilly. We would also take this opportunity to applaud the decision to give Limerick City a Gallery worthy of its standing as a vibrant centre for the visual arts.
Congratulations to those artists who were selected by Rudi Fuchs and a very genuine thank-you to every artist who submitted work. Without your support EVA would not exist. Finally, I would like to thank personally each member of the Committee and Sub Committees for the hard work and dedication which went into the making of EVA85.

Note to Art Teachers
In line with changing attitudes towards arts education, including the new Arts Council policy in this area, EVA hopes to encourage primary and secondary level schools to become involved in the exhibition for its duration. Forthefirsttime, this year school-oriented tours will be available to all those interested (prior booking essential). In addition a pilot scheme of working more directly with a small number of schools on an intensive five-week project is to be attempted. The results will be assessed with the intention of widening the field in later years. Although the schools forth is 1985 project have already been selected, all teachers with an interest in arts education should contact the gallery and at least avail ofthe opportunity to visit the EVA exhibition with their class.
School tours may be booked by contacting : Paul O'Reilly Limerick City Gallery PerySquare LimerickPhone061-310633
Visual +
The Exhibition of Visua l Art, now in its ninth year gives people in the Limerick area yet again the chance to make sense out of contemporary fine art in Ireland north and south. The sense that people who visit the exhibition will make of it depends on the sense that others have made before them. The artists show in their work how they have made sense of the world around them and within them. And they also show the sense they have of the fine art traditions they have inherited by the ways their work refers to those traditions. Entered in competition, all the works of art become subject to how the art critic/adjudicator makes sense as he or she judges, selects and patterns the exhibition as a whole. What people themselves bring to EVA is their own sense of themselves and their worlds based on their own personal experiences. The sense they have made of those experiences can aid or hinder their attempts to grasp the sense, the meanings, the artists offer through their work, and the sense the adjudicator offers through the exhibition as a whole.
One of the more important of these aids to grasping the meanings in modern art and its contemporary forms is the experience each person has as a consumer in the gigantic, mixed and multi-mediated information overload that so thoroughly shapes our popular, urban environment. Its depth and breadth, its wealth and power provide each of us with abundant evidence that can lead directly into works of art, into the thoughts and feelings, the energies, joys, hopes, the fear, dread and anxiety that artists deal with in their work.
An important hindrance to grasping the meanings in modern/contemporary art lies in the bias we all pick up, mainly through schooling, which assures us that fine art has to do with things visual; that it concerns matters that stress, mainly or only, the sense of sight; that, in art, the other senses have little or no importance in comparison to vision. Yet modern art in all its variations and directions can clea rly be understood as just so many strenuous attempts to overcome the limitations of this visual bias in western cu lture that, afterfive hundred years of unbroken development, peaked in nineteenth century positivism, capitalism, industrialism and fine art. Describing the socio-poli tical, economic and technological effects of this bias would require more than a li tt le time and space. For now, just consider some of the techniques modern art has invented to break the hold that the linear-sequential-connected pattern of organisation, the pattern of western logic and rationality, the pattern of the visual bias, had and still has on so much of our thinking and feeling. These techniques include the following :
1. Breaking the rule of literal-visual detai I in what a work of art represents. 2. Liberating colour and texture from subordination to the visual bias for detail and
real igning them and all the other design elements with new emphasis on form, structure and composition.
3. Centering attention in the work of art on the design process itself, on media, on tools, on materials, on the physical processes and the intuitive and intellectual phases of art making.
These techniques characterise modern and contemporary art's struggle to overcome the deep seated literal-visual bias in western culture. As a consequence the practice of art opened out to deal in a much fuller range of human emotion and feeling . ln so doing it re-established the audience for art as an active collaborator and participant with the artist, rather than as, mainly and merely a passive spectator of what an artist does. The making of sense became an active, creative process not only for artist but also for audience.

At the centre of modern art's successes lies an altered sense of how art relates to the body and to all its ways of perceiving itself and the world through the senses. The classical idea of a hierarchy of five separable senses with vision the most important one in matters of art gave way under the weight of evidence discovered by modern art, modern science and modern technology to the sounder, more comprehensive idea of an active, complex, interacting sensorium of (by one count) at least eleven senses or modes of sense perception. W.hat we can now rely on in dealing with works of art, in the making of them, and in the making sense of them, is the fullness of this active perceptual process. The potential oft hat process depends on what biases condition and structure the decisions and responses of both artists and audience.
Modern art replaced the linear-sequential-connected pattern ofthe visual bias with seemingly endless versions of what can be called a gap-interval-mosaic pattern . ln this pattern oral, tactile, kinesthetic perceptual biases working in partnership with each other and all the senses, along with the visual, influence the decision making, the sense making, that goes into a work of art. Many other areas of our modern consumer cu lture show simi lar reliance on this gap-interval-mosaic organisationa l patterning, and for the same reason : it offers a far more human, far less mechanical technique for the making of sense.
But in spite of al l that modern art has done to set such perception right, al l areas of our modern cu lture including that of modern art show the confusion that results when the presence of the visual bias in our behaviour remains uncha ll enged or unresolved. Decade after decade, modern art has continued to struggle with the problem because the offered solutions in changing styles and movements have not proved strong enough to settle the issue. Perhaps the solutions fail to take hold because all our institutions, especially school, are structurally still committed to recycling the visually biased patterns in the behaviour of the people they process. Modern art still has the job of making sense, of explaining ourselves to ourselves, telling us who we are, where we are, and the now- when we are. It does so by offering organisational patterns or structures that try to root themselves in the full comprehensive facts of our bodily perceptual existence as people. Its confusions, contradictions and inconsistencies are those of the culture at large, the result of a failure to getthe survival patterns right. Its ordeal is just like that of the old fisherman who tells his survival story in Poe' s Descent Into The Maelstrom.
EVA 85 is full of such "explanations", such patterns aimed at survival, rooted in the ways of full human perception. Each artist is the old fisherman. As are we all. lt'sa pity, though, that EVA's very title carries so blatantly the visual bias further than it need or should be allowed to go. Those who know or care to let others know could ca ll it EV +A. meaning by that the Exhibition of Visual + (Visual Plus) Art. The plus sign stands for all that the word visual tends to let us ignore, which is all that modern art here in Ireland as elsewhere so deeply celebrates.

Adjudicator's Note
All the world's styles, and the fashions too, are also reflected and used in Irish art. In that sense, Ireland belongs to the international world of art. At the same time, however, there is a certain distance, that, in the end, may be an advantage. In the years following World War II, we have been told that good art is international. Art which did not come up to "international standards" often was rejected as regional or provincial. In more recent years, we have come to realize that regional differences and personalities are the actual richness of European culture- and that they are the result of natural development of various cu ltures through history.lf I wantto read an Irish book, I want to read something which is culturally Irish - not a book by an Irish author trying to imitate, say, Somerset Maugham. By that Irish, I do not mean the folkloristic lrish. l want it contemporary, like Joyce or Beckett. Both, I assume, are Irish, but with a strong awareness too, of the values and standards of other European cultures. That awareness makes them also international. Since the early Middle ages, Ireland has never been famous for its visual art, though there have been one or two very good painters, like Jack Yeats. The many works sent to Limerick for the show, all of them chaotically different, demonstrate a thriving art scene- and nowoureyes are cleared of the international stare we may be able to discern certain promises. The relative distance of Ireland from the leading centres, and the subsequent spareness in information, have made it possible, I believe, for a certain type of rich imagery to survive, absolutely separate from the international trends that other artists have tried to adopt. I do not know what, precisely, Irish Art could be. But in literature, James Joyce, or more recently, Seamus Heaney, one encounters strong images of earthly richness - and some of that one also finds in paintings. Selecting for the exhibition, I have looked for those Artists trying to work in more " international" modes, I have not passed over when the works were good. l cannot be the judge of an artist's honest intentions, only of the visual quality of the works submitted.
An exhibition like this one is, by its very nature, accidental in its composition. The structure is haphazard, my choices quickly made and, therefore, fragile. I have, however, tried to give the exhibition some kind of unity and coherence by keeping in mind where in the rooms, and in the vicinity of which other works, they were going to be shown .
Being a judge is not an enjoyable position. It is awkward to be called in like the Mediaeval judge who comes, passes verdict, and goes off again. But I have enjoyed seeing so many artworks from Ireland. It was an opportunity I otherwise wouldn't have- and I am resolved to deepen the acquaintance in the future.! thankthe Committee of EVA and the Gallery's Curator, Paul O'Reilly, for their help and kindness.
