A Social Art Project with a floating membership of practitioners, with a critical interest in the ways in which we understand space and place, questions of power and subjectivity. SpiritStore is an ongoing art project. It has evolved practicing within a broad cultural framework, articulated through a number of collaborative, participatory, and interventionist methods. The project operates in conjunction with groups, from cultural practitioners and institutes, to business owners and organisations, and invites audiences and collaborators to engage in specific meaningful ways. To date projects include, the SpiritStore Art Café at the Sarsfield Bar 2009, Packet and Tripe at ev+a 2010 SpiritStore CATDIG at ev+a 2010 and the SpiritStore Poetry Depot in collaboration with Inkstorm 2010-12.

WayMarkers is a socially engaged art project. The Knockatallon Ramblers and Artist Marilyn Lennon are community mapping to capture a particular description of place from a rambler’s perspective at the Irish border dividing north and south. Ramblers decode regulated space in the act of moving in deregulated ways. Borrowing a concept from Irit Rogoff, ramblers are 'undoing geography as a disciplining force on the subject'. At the border they carve out new routes and passages made by the body's movement across landscape, the enjoyment of walking, pushing through, finding ways around obstacles or negotiating rights of way. Critical cartography is not simply a graphic representation of reality, it is unique, it provides a snapshot of the way we imagine, we see, we experience, we craft and move through our world. Our online digital map will be launched next month, see the WayMarkers facebook page for details.. Marilyn Lennon is the Founder member of the SpiritStore project. . |
