The work, Bamboo Support, was chosen from four shortlisted proposals, which were in turn selected from an overall entry of 35. The other shortlisted artists were Dubliners Shane Cullen and Jaki Irvine, and a German, Hans Peter Kuhn. Mr Declan McGonagle, director of IMMA and chair of the six-person selection panel, praised all four shortlisted artists and said the virtue of Shipside's idea was that "it will create both an aesthetic experience for the public and also draw people to some of the social and economic issues facing Dublin today". The Carlton Cinema building is currently owned by the Carlton Group, which has co-operated with the project organisers. . |
