A close look at revitalising church buildings and their curtilage; an exhibition of architectural drawings and models along with crios-weaving workshops St. John's Church, Ballinasloe, and a felting workshop and talk at the Mick Lally theatre.

An exhibition at St. John's Church during the Ballinasloe Horse Fair exploring the adaptive reuse of two historic sites in East Galway, St. John's and Holy Trinity Church, Aughrim, through craft and the use of sustainable timber structures. The exhibition features architectural drawings and scale models created by young architects collaborating between Ireland and Belgium, building on their engagement with these places and their communities during last year’s festival. In addition, there will be three hands-on crios-weaving workshops, offering participants the chance to engage directly with traditional crafts while reflecting on the themes of heritage and community.

At the Mick Lally Theatre, there will be a felting workshop, followed by a talk presenting the work of the Faith in the Future project so far.

Event Organiser

Faith in the Future is led by Beibhinn Delaney, in collaboration with Marie-Caroline Kawa, Lara Clifford & Caoimhe Walsh. Support comes from the Arts Council, Donegal Yarns & Ballinasloe Credit Union.

‘Fantasy Islands’, as part of Architecture at the Edge 2024: Islands, will look at fictional islands depicted across all media forms: film, TV, video games, written word and more. From Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island to Scorsese’s Shutter Island, this exhibition will curate how islands are used as testing grounds for ideas in reality and present the question: why do we treasure islands?  

Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to create their own fictional islands, forming part of the exhibit, adding to the library and lore of fantasy islands.

The Fantasy Islands team is made up of Sophie Kelliher and David Lawless.

Sophie Kelliher is an architectural researcher with a background in heritage and maritime architecture, archival research and cartography.

David Lawless is a Senior Architect with FKL Architects, having previously worked at home in Aughey O’Flaherty Architects and DTA Architects; and abroad in Casper Mueller Kneer and Monadnock. David is currently working on social housing projects in inner city Dublin

Live Drawing Project, Ballina

Live interactive public mapping projection

Date: Saturday 21st September 2024
Time: 10:30 - 16:30
Location: Ballina Arts Centre

Let’s Draw
Time: 8.30pm
Location: Hugh Ruddy & Co., Pearse Street, Ballina

The Live Drawing Project workshop is aimed at artists and others interested in learning about projection mapping and other related technology, including the animation of historic structures in Ballina which will bring the participants directly into the creative process as they contribute to the development of work for the Let’s Draw event later that evening at Hugh Ruddy & Co., Pearse Street, Ballina.

The Live Drawing Project is a French art collective that includes Maxime Touroute, Louis Clément, Maxime Hurdequint, Rémy Dupanloup and Guillaume Rahbari. They present events that create a large collaborative canvas on public buildings using state-of-the-art projection technology and give the public free access to software that they can use on their phone or tablet to make their drawings and have them appear in real time. This means that the content of canvas is constantly evolving. With the Live Drawing Project the public can create a collective artwork made of video projected drawings. The audience is invited to draw freely on their smartphones. Everyone can draw simultaneously. The drawings are video projected instantly on a wall. They appear, disappear, change colours, and move, creating a vivid composition both poetic and surprising.
Projections will also be livestreamed so that people can join in from home, draw online, and see their drawings appear by watching the livestream.
