The Irish Museum of Modern Art is housed in the 17th-century Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The Royal Hospital was founded in 1684 by James Butler, the Duke of Ormonde and Viceroy to Charles II, as a home for retired soldiers and continued in that use for almost 250 years. The Royal Hospital is a striking location for displaying modern art. Modelled on Les Invalides in Paris, it is arranged around a courtyard and the interior has long corridors running along series of modest interlocking rooms. The original stables have been restored, extended and converted into artists' studios, and the museum runs an artist-in-residence programme.

Image was quite stolen in a modern art installation. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the artist.
What was relevant for me was the interaction between installation and people; that led me to take few pictures.
King of Nowhere, 2015
Cast iron and mixed media
"This pair of works are my reaction after talking to a group of young men from Skelmersdale, Lancashire. They are the victims of poverty, chaotic parenting, bad role models and disrupted education...Deprived of acceptable badges of status, job, money, education, power and family, they exercised their masculinity in a way that seemed to echo back to the dawn of humanity - they defended territory...The Digmoor Tapestry is a map of the estate they defended...The King of Nowhere resembles an African power figure, but it is made of cast iron - the material used for bollards, those pieces of street furniture placed to deny access."

From the exhibition guide:
"Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1960, Grayson Perry is a chronicler of contemporary life. This exhibition of tapestries, woodcut prints, bronze sculptures and ceramic works will lead you through the artist's most recent explorations of masculinity, national identity and populism. You'll discover autobiographical references throughout the exhibition - the artist's childhood, his family and his transvestite alter ego Claire - as well as familiar contemporary figures through which Perry investigates how our identities are shaped and how our values are built."

My wife Phyllis creates beautiful greeting cards for her friends and family. Over the years, she has made hundreds of amazing mixed media collages like this one. They evoke the spirit of her loved ones and bring joy to us all.
For her 70th birthday, we are collecting some of her best creations and will exhibit them in a special art show at the Tam Valley Community Center in December 2016.
You can also see some of these greeting cards online, in this photo album:
