Do You Know Dublin? Project

Do You Know Dublin?

This is an artist-as-curator group project organised by hendersonflux.

Small squares of unprimed cotton canvas, and an artist brief will be dispersed as part of the Letters Project to NCAD students and other local artists.

Brief:
Do You Know Dublin? is a project organised by Dublin artists hendersonflux calling on other artists familiar with Dublin City to create a small artwork inspired by their personal view of Dublin society. The artwork can be a poem, a print, an embroidery, a painting, a word, a photographic transfer, collage etc. It can be ugly, beautiful, political, indifferent, in protest, or in celebration of Dublin City - just make it personal and make it original! When all art is returned, the canvas squares will be sown back together to make a large vibrant patchwork decorated or defaced with the personal experiences of the contributing artists.

The aim of the project is to get the work exhibited in galleries and arts centres around the city and suburbs, displaying to the public Dublin city's diversity as an ugly-beautiful humdrum urban space, and perhaps engage them in experiencing Dublin city in a new way inspired by the patchwork. Any participators in the project can be added to a mailing list to be further updated on Do You Know Dublin? news and hopefully successes. All artists contributing to the work will be credited in any exhibition, unless the artist wishes to remain anonymous.
