Revolving Can

Chapter 3 - Revolving Can
This series of experimental ads were created by 1st year students from Beneavin de la Salle, Finglas during a film workshop with visual artist and filmmaker Helena Gouveia Monteiro as part of We Can Can Can at Hugh Lane Gallery. The group created storyboards and short ads inspired by the motif of the can after a visit to the Irish Film Institute where the students were introduced to 60s and 70s Irish ads through the Irish Adverts Project.
WE CAN CAN CAN is an Education and Community Outreach project by visual artist Liliane Puthod in response to Andy Warhol Three Times Out at Hugh Lane Gallery (October 2023- January 2024).
Based on Andy Warhol’s famous Campbell’s Soup paintings and sifting it through the lens of Irish culture, the project is built on four chapters titled Can of Beans, Silver Can, Revolving Can and Humming Can, each exploring media and themes used by Andy Warhol as a way to initiate a dialogue around the production of singular and multiple objects within an everyday environment.
Chapter 1: Can of Beans with Cabra For Youth, Batchelors Beans Factory and Damn Fine Print.
Chapter 2: Silver Can with Lourdes Youth and Community Services, Colorman Packaging and Printing Company, James Collins and Tom McDonnell with Pavee Point Roma Centre.
Chapter 3: Revolving Can with Beneavin De La Salle College, Finglas, Irish Film Institute (The Irish Adverts Project) and visual artist Helena Gouveia Monteiro.
Chapter 4: Humming Can with St Mary’s Secondary School, Glasnevin, Dublin Digital Radio and band Acid Granny.
This project by visual artist Liliane Puthod is co-curated with Jessica O’Donnell, Head of Education and Community Outreach and Cleo Fagan, Education Curator.
