The Golden
Bough, Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane
Step inside now step inside
13th June - 13th September
Applying
the Golden Bough theme as underlining support structure for showcasing
significant art practices, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane has invited
distinguished contemporary artists to exhibit in Gallery Eight of Charlemont
House. The Golden Bough suite continues with new work by artist Brian
Duggan. In this major new body of work, Duggan responds to the particular
architecture of gallery eight and its unique context. The installation
inserts a bisected carnival motordrome into the gallery and its presence
both completes the internal loop, but also interrupts the classical space.
