Artist Mary Jo Gilligan and IMMA mediator Aidan O’Sullivan, will be leading an exciting gallery/workshop session as part of the Irish Architecture Foundation’s Open House Dublin 2013. In this session we’ll be looking at the Leonora Carrington: The Celtic Surrealist exhibition, focusing on Carrington’s surrealist approach to creativity and her intriguing use of hybrid mythological motifs. Inspired by this, we’ll then explore the building and grounds of IMMA, Royal Hospital, seeking alternative and perhaps surreal experiences of space though the projection of silhouettes on surfaces, the manipulation of light and shade and maybe even the incorporation of sound!
