IslandMary Noonan and Damien O’Connell
Occupy Space presents
Island,
an exhibtion of work byMary Noonan and Damien O’Connell. Both artists explorethe concept of the island as a closed space. Much like awaiting room or prison cell, the island is conceived as a
dual space of innite limitation and potential. The island is
a place we long to escape or seek refuge.
The show previewed Thursday 1st of July 7-9pm and ran until 17th July
