Exhibition Tour: The flow of connections, art and history at Dublin Port

This is a free event, booking essential as spaces are limited.

This is an informal talk discussing art, history and place blending a tour of the exhibitions with further information about The Pumphouse site located on what was formally a graving docks. Considering the function of the graving docks-for the repair and maintenance of ships and as a site of assemblage – and, set against an impressive maritime landscape with the constant flow of movement between nature and the manmade, this talk will identify connections bridging Longest Way Round Shortest Way Home to the history of the location, dredging up subtle references to the surface for inspection and reflection. Devised and led by TBG+S Gallery Coordinator Anna Maye.

Meet at the orange cabin at the entrance to The Pumphouse, Alexandra Road, Dublin Port at 12pm.

This event is at The Pumphouse, Alexandra Road, Dublin Port. There are public transport links with Dublin Bus and Luas (Red Line), as well as on-site parking. For further access information please contact Learning + Public Engagement Curator Orla Goodwin.
