Have you seen a Monkey????

This is the next project I have been invited to be involved with. It is will be looking at the notion of Truth and Fiction in everyday Irish life, with hopefully some humous events happening, and please don’t forget the boat race on the Shannon… it promises to be a fun few days for all the family

Right Place, Right Space?

Date of Issue: 17th August 2010

Plastic House turns into art gallery for a weekend

Architecture Republic is opening its AAI award-winning project The Plastic House as an exhibition space from 27th to 29th August 2010.

At the AAI awards assessment the project raised the question of whether the Plastic House is an art installation or a house. The architects have decided to reinforce this controversy and turn the house as a temporary exhibition space, raising the eternal discussion on the boundaries between Art and Architecture.

Invited and selected artists will exhibit one piece of their work over in a space of their choice within the house. Participant artists include John Graham, Paul Murnaghan, Aoife Desmond, Gregory Dunn, David Folan, Roseanne Lynch,  Sharon McCarthy and René Ettirgam.

The exhibition entitled ‘Right Place, Right Space?’ opens on Friday 27th August at 7pm in the Plastic House, 26 Spender Street North, East Wall, Dublin 3.
