The project
The first of the proposed series of ‘No Man’s Land’ ran at the Original Print Gallery, Temple Bar, Dublin October 2008 for one week.
It was an experiment in what can happen when a gallerist allows an artist space and time to play with an idea. The gallery space briefly changed from a commercial space to a factory of ideas.
The title of the project, ‘No Man’s Land’ refers to a fictional designate that describes an area not assigned to any owner, an area that clearly does not belong to any subject. Around this theme Rossi/ Connolly have devised this project, a ‘happening’ that explored both print making techniques and the nature of participatory art projects. It allowed Rossi/Connolly and a heterogeneous group of participants to work in a gallery setting, exploring an idea driven creative practice.
We will be touring this project around the country and further afield in the coming months, if you are interested in collaborating with us please e-mail info[at]originalprint.ie
