Jennie Guy

A Salon

Installation view

Hosted by MAVis, IADT, Dunlaoghaire in Studio 6, Temple Bar Galleries & Studios. June 22nd-24th 2009.

For three days in June 2008 Jennie Guy hosted A Salon. In addition to her installation of a domestic salon environment Jennie Guy invited a number of Irish and international visual, performance and sound artists and writers to gather and display new and existing works over a period of three days. The space altered daily with an emphasis on the site of art as being a place where the spoken word, communality and the production of knowledge took precedence. The audience could lie or sit comfortably, touch and engage with most artworks as one might in a home environment.
