Description:
House Projects was a series of seven exhibitions spanning five months over four cities, three countries, and two continents; with the participation of seven coordinators/curators, forty-nine artists and eight writers. Self initiated by practitioners outside of the resources of an institutional venue, it was conceived as an interdisciplinary collaboration between artists, curators and critics, intended to eschew established or hierarchical roles. The publication, which is the summation of that collaboration, serves as a document of the artworks that made up the exhibitions, alongside texts that alternately describe, react to, contextualise, or act as a critical response to the exhibitions.
Writers: Declan Long, and critical essays by Maeve Connolly, Dave Dyment, Cliodhna Shaffrey, Catherine Bernard, Niamh NicGhabhann, Padraic E. Moore and Tim Stott.
