The artists Noel Molloy, Ann Henderson, Ursula Kavanagh, Renate Hoffliet, Michael Bach, Tony Magner, Declan Kennedy, Pamela Hill, Leah Durkan, Elizabeth Caffery produced a diverse array of work including performance, video, installation and sound works. Dutch landscape photographer Willem Vermasse was commissioned to record all the projects at their various stages of development; these images formed the basis of the printed documentation of the symposia, which was published in December 1996 in the form of a calendar for 1997.
