Further Information
Exhibiting artist Fergus Feehily leads a walk through the city with readings from his book, The Horse and the Rider.
Spaces are limited and booking is essential. Confirmation of attendance will be required closer to the time.
Meeting under the Eason’s clock on O’Connell Street, a small group of people will join the artist Fergus Feehily to walk across the city visiting several undisclosed locations. Here, the artist will lead readings from his new artist book The Horse and The Rider – written as an integral part of his exhibition at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. Feehily is a kind of flâneur, both metaphorically in his artistic practice and in actuality, this has led the artist’s desire to bring viewers on this walk.
Participants on the walk are invited to attend Pond, Chalk, Universe (Part II).
Pond, Chalk, Universe is a day of events hosted by exhibiting artist Fergus Feehily on the occasion of his solo exhibition, Fortune House at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, 13 December 2024 — 23 February 2025.
The exhibition, Fortune House is situated in deep winter, taking place on both sides of the solstice, continuing into brighter days. This changing context draws on ideas of illumination, bridging time and memory through the exhibition. The title conjures a vision of a site where luck, prosperity, or a glimpse into the future might be found.
Places for Pond, Chalk, Universe (Part I) are very limited, so a confirmation of attendance will be required closer to the time. Please keep an eye on your email as a response will be required to hold your place.
Access information: Expect approximately a 2-3km outdoor walk across the city. For further access information please contact Learning + Public Engagement Curator Órla Goodwin.
