Value

If Art Could Save Your Life
25th Februrary - 20th March
Seamus Nolan

In collaboration with the Droichead Arts Centre Seamus Nolan created a new body of work which looks at our ideas of value, production and judgement. The work explores how we manage to relate to our immediate environment and at the structures which dictate this relationship. It looks at the organisation of unwanted objects; objects which are no longer of value, exploring how this experience might inform our cultural and social value system. In order to consider these ideas the artiest will temporarily re-home two dogs from the local dog pound in the Droichead Arts Centre. The Arts Centre has taken responsibility for and effectively fostered the dogs for the duration of the exhibition. These dogs which have been either handed in or abandoned by their owners, have become ward of the state, considered here as public property, and will be returned again to the dog pound following the exhibiton.
