Shifting Ground

Shifting Ground – New Perspectives on Art and Rural Culture is a conference and on-site symposium over two and a half days that seeks to address the need to develop new approaches to Public Art specifically for rural communities. The conference will cover aspects of vernacular rural culture, contemporary art practice and art theory. The second day of the conference takes the form of a tour to Rural Vernacular, a programme of specially commissioned, temporary, public artworks located in rural Clare, for an on-site symposium with the artists.
