Art Space Now D8
A public performance event supporting the development of a quality interdisciplinary Art Space in Dublin 8.
Art Space Now D8 is a collaborative campaign led by Outlandish Theatre and Pallas Projects/Studios. On the 12th of June we will host a public gathering to make our statement performance to local large-scale developers, council and government attendees sharing the outcome of nine workshops held by diverse artists and community activists to which the thematics of public space and who it is for has been a driving aspect of their practice. In the workshops we conceptually considered (public) space and the role and responsibility the artists can carry in the manifestation of an arts centre in Dublin 8.
“We are manifesting a state of the art interdisciplinary arts centre in Dublin 8 and we are looking to express the artistic value of this future space through collective interdisciplinary art expression, building on the history of five workers’ theatres in Dublin 8, the fact that Dublin 8 is one of the most densely populated and the least serviced areas in relation to green space and cultural arts spaces, as well as housing, whilst an eclipse of commercial developments are taking over public land."
