Also on display is the installation, ‘Open Season’, based on the subject of domestic violence, made by women from the Family Resource Centre, St Michael’s Estate, Inchicore. The Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection, on loan to IMMA, is represented by Dusan Kusmic, Henry Darger and a monumental drawing by Chris Hipkiss.

A number of artworks are being installed in the grounds to join ‘The Drummer’ by Barry Flannagan, recently donated by the artist; Laurence Weiner’s ‘Sticks and Stones’ and Michael Warren’s ‘Beneath the Bow’, which was commissioned for the opening of the Museum. These include Juan Munoz ‘Conversation Piece’ and ‘Unveiling’ by Janine Antoni.
