POSTED 4: 'Private TALK - PUBLIC Space is the fourth in a series of poster projects run by SKART (Cork based artist collaboration).A series of ten A0 posters exhibited on hoarding at St. Peter's Market, 46/7 Cornmarket Street in Cork City as part of the market's renovation, will be on show from 11 March 2009 for about 4 weeks. It endeavours to push boundaries of what art should and is perceived to be, and the accepted commercial relationship between viewer and image in public space. This project is about boundaries and inter-relations between 'private' and 'public' in this context, and the continuing dominance of market forces in shaping our culture and society - where is the line now drawn between private and public conversation, private and public space, private and public interest?
Selected from an open submission call the project includes work by Maureen Considine, Barry W. Hughes, Anna Francis, Tinka Berchert, Cormac O'Connell, Johan Tiber & Runo Lagomarsino, Caron Geary & Helen Watkins, Dominic Corrigan, Ian Wieczorek and Lorraine Walsh. A gallery of the work and all the submissions is available at:
St. Peters Market (former Bodéga),
