|
|
9 July - 27 August 2016
Municipal Gallery, dlr LexIcon
Painter Damien Flood was commissioned by dlr Arts Office to create a new body of work that explores geographical elements of Dún Laoghaire and investigates the cultural histories of the landscape. The work also responds to the modern town and what it means to the local community. The research included interviews with local residents and retailers from the area, as well as looking at Dún Laoghaire’s past, both historical and personal.
