  • Overview
    •  

    In a new strand of programming, the Museum presented some of today’s most prominent younger generation international artists, all exhibiting for the first time in Ireland. Working with the Museum’s curators, each artist addressed individual exhibition spaces. The resulting works encompassed painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and video, and range from a radio-telescope for the courtyard by Honduras-born sculptor Paul Ramirez Jonas to a wall drawing by Yukinori Yanagi, one of the leading figures in contemporary Japanese art.
