Thanks to everyone at Occupy Space and all who were either involved or came along to 'Taking Place'.
This weekend was packed full of screenings, music, theater and two talks. I really enjoyed discussing my work with all those in attendance and thought there was a fantastic relaxed atmosphere.
" Occupy Space provides a platform for local, national and international artists, welcoming a diverse range of practices and promoting Limerick as a hub for contemporary visual art. Occupy Space is a not-for-profit organization that has established a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events to engage the local audience and to open up a critical dialogue with the wider visual art community. The fundamental objective of the organization is to provide exhibition opportunities for graduate and emerging artists outside of the context of a commercial gallery space. Occupy Space is operated by a voluntary staff, providing experience in event management, facilitating exhibitions and developing potential for independent curatorial projects."
This weekend issue 8 of Occupy Paper was launched and 'WOW' does it look fantastic!! If the content is as good as the design then this will be a a gem to have.
