  • 10 Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Architectural Heritage
    Dublin City Council College Green Project EIS Chapter 10- Archaeology, Architectural and Cultural Heritage 10 Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Architectural Heritage 10.1 Introduction Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Dublin City Council to assess the impact, if any, on the archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage resource of the Proposed Project at College Green, Dublin City Centre (OS Sheet 18). The Proposed Project occupies a city-centre location, c. 235m south of the River Liffey, adjacent to landmark buildings including Bank of Ireland and Trinity College. The study area falls within 1.4 hectares (including the block formed by St Andrew’s, Trinity, and Church Street). It is located at College Green which encompasses parts of Dame Street, Trinity Street, St Andrew’s Street and Church Lane, at the very northern end of Grafton Street. The Project is adjacent to the southern end of Anglesea Street and occupies the full area of Foster Place and College Green which includes the southernmost part of Westmoreland Street, the area south of Bank of Ireland (former House of Parliament) and immediate west of Trinity College. As part of the Proposed Project, it has been indicated that a large area of eastern College Green (170m x 40m) may be excavated to a depth of 2.5m to accommodate the main plaza. The Proposed Project is located within the zone of archaeological potential for the historic centre of Dublin City (DU018-020). It is located c. 270m outside of the medieval town walls of Dublin. The Proposed Project is also surrounded by numerous protected structures and partially located within Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs) associated with O’Connell Street, The South City Retail Quarter and Grafton Street and Environs.

  • Annual Report 2009
    IRISH MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Chairperson’s Foreword The year under review was again a busy and successful one at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). The remarkable quality and diversity of the Museum’s programmes continued, as did public engagement with IMMA’s work; this despite operating with a reduced budget and the closure of the Museum for essential works for three weeks in January, which also disrupted normal activities for the month of February. Visitor numbers exceeded 417,000, an excellent outcome in the circumstances. All of us at IMMA are delighted at the public’s continued warm response to our ambitious programme of exhibitions and events throughout the year. Highlights in 2009 included: Exhibitions by such leading Irish and international artists as Alexander Calder, James Coleman, Hughie O’Donoghue and Terry Winters, and highly-regarded younger generation artists, including Philippe Parreno, Elizabeth Peyton and Alan Phelan. The hugely-popular Picturing New York exhibition from the renowned photographic collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, which attracted many first-time visitors to IMMA. A series of innovative exhibitions from the Museum’s own Collection, including Exploring a Donation , celebrating the gift in 2008 of 25 works by leading Irish artists from the Bank of Ireland Collection; Between Metaphor and Object , presenting sculpture and installation works from the 1990s, and the ground- breaking Altered Images exhibition promoting engagement in the visual arts by those with disabilities, shown in South Tipperary and Mayo as part of the National Programme. A number of significant donations, including 52 works from the Estate of the influential printmaker Mary Farl Powers; ten new prints as part of the IMMA Editions series, and a sculpture by celebrated Irish artist Edward Delaney who died in September 2009, a gift of Jack and Agnes Delaney.

  • Reimagining Ireland, Volume 48 : Visualizing Dublin
    REIR imagining 48 imagining ire land ire land VOLUME 48 Justin Carville (ed.) Dublin has held an important place throughout Ireland’s cultural history. The shifting configurations of the city’s streetscapes have been marked VISUALIZING DUBLIN VISUALIZING by the ideological frameworks of imperialism, its architecture embedded within the cultural politics of the nation, and its monuments and sculptures VISUALIZING DUBLIN mobilized to envision the economic ambitions of the state. This book examines the relationship of Dublin to Ireland’s social history through the VISUAL CULTURE, MODERNITY AND THE city’s visual culture. Through specific case studies of Dublin’s streetscapes, REPRESENTATION OF URBAN SPACE architecture and sculpture and its depiction in literature, photography and cinema, the contributors discuss the significance of visual experiences and representations of the city to our understanding of Irish cultural life, both past and present. Justin Carville (ed.) Drawing together scholars from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, the collection addresses two emerging themes in Irish studies: the intersection of the city with cultural politics, and the role of the visual in projecting Irish cultural identity. The essays not only ask new questions of existing cultural histories but also identify previously unexplored visual representations of the city. The book’s interdisciplinary approach seeks to broaden established understandings of visual culture within Irish studies to incorporate not only visual artefacts, but also textual descriptions and ocular experiences that contribute to how we come to look at, see and experience both Dublin and Ireland. Justin Carville teaches Historical and Theoretical Studies in Photography and Visual Culture at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire.
