TransColonia

I’ll be taking part in TransColonia which opens on Thursday 20th May with a piece called Ash Cloud made in response to Adrian Duncan’s Epiphenomena which showed at The Joinery recently.

Ash Cloud – An unbuilt building that generates clouds. Eyjafjallajökull. A volcano stops travel across Europe. It generates grey clouds of ash, that I crochet and hang in an abandoned Polish travel agency.

TransColonia presents:

recharge: responses to an unbuilt archive
Artists’ responses to unbuilt architectural projects to be displayed in a vacant retail unit in Dublin 1.
recharge is an active investigation into the potential of unrealised, postponed and utopian architectural projects. With sites located in Poland, England and Ireland, the recently assembled unbuilt archive includes an international competition entry, a fictional cloud room and an alternative proposal for a commercial urban site. recharge challenges the normally static nature of an archive by opening it up as a set of instructions and inviting artists’ responses in a workshop context.

The recharge space will be open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
from 4.30-7pm, May 20th – June 12th inclusive.

Address: Transcolonia, No.41 Amiens Street, Dublin 1
