iCalLaunch: Thursday 30 August from 6 to 8pm.
For four months the gallery will be transformed into a research-archive-work-meeting space, a study of documents and archives that uncover the history (or rather histories) of one of Ireland’s oldest public art institutions. In the gallery various display formats will be employed to generate and host discussions and conversations with professionals and the wider public to read Project’s histories via the wider context of cultural institutional, political, social and intellectual histories that include the building development of Temple Bar, gender representation, the history of Irish feminism, and LGBTQ rights.
The first chapter focuses on the 1990s with special attention to the OFF Site projects, Project@the Mint and the development of the current building. Prepared with curator, writer Valerie Connor this will result in an exhibition in early 2019.
This first event, and launch of the project, will present a recently recovered 16mm documentary, a portrait of the former Dollard Print Works that housed Project between 1974 and 1998 made by artist Brian Hand. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Brian Hand and Curator of Visual Arts Lívia Páldi.
