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.
If you have any further question please contact TBG+S Learning + Public Engagement Curator Órla Goodwin.
