Dorm—Artist Collectives, The Model
Dorm: Artist collectives at The Model, Sligo
Collective presentation ‘We are never at home’ with Pallas Projects
1 May–4 July 2010
Twenty-two international artist collectives transform the building into an unprecedented, all-encompassing art project. With a nod to the political events of May 1968, histories of art collectivism, and as a parody of an art fair, the building will be filled with exhibitions, concerts, screenings and performances all aimed at the social imagination.
