Curator’s Tour: 'Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home' at Dublin Port
13 July 2024, 12pm
TBG+S Director Clíodhna Shaffrey gives an introduction to Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home at Dublin Port.
This short tour will visit the off-site exhibitions at The Pumphouse, Dublin Port and finish with refreshments and conversation. Meet at the orange cabin at the entrance to The Pumphouse, Alexandra Road, Dublin Port at 12pm. Alternatively, you can walk from The Point Luas stop at 11.45am with a member of staff.
Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home presents two solo exhibitions; dream sequence by Yuri Pattison and Beep Beep by Liliane Puthod. It takes its title from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Characteristically elusive in his meaning, Joyce’s use of this popular idiom hints at a circuitous route back to one’s origins. The phrase itself is often used to describe the relationship between time and labour and, in the case of this exhibition, there are further associations with journeys, departures, homecomings, and new beginnings.
Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home is curated an produced by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios in partnership with Dublin Port Company. This tour is part of a programme of weekly Saturday events.
This is a free event, booking essential as spaces are limited. If you have any questions re accessibility please contact orla@templebargallery.com or call 01 6710073
