About this event
On Thursday the 18th of February at 6:00pm the National Sculpture Factory will host an online get-together to celebrate the launch of its new publication and we hope that you will join us, with a glass in hand, to toast the conclusion of the NSF’s recent commission with artist and writer Sara Baume.
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, in the Summer of 2020, National Sculpture Factory in association with Cork Midsummer Festival commissioned a new text-work by artist and writer Sara Baume, so sick and tired, for Midsummer Moments 2020 that would speak about our times.This manifested itself as a 4-metre long neon text work draped publicly on the front facade of the NSF building.
We wish to celebrate all the creative elements that have made this such a rewarding and enlightening project and we hope you’ll join us in this celebration.
We will begin with a brief introduction to the overall project by National Sculpture Factory’s Director Valerie Byrne which will be followed by a short conversation between Sara Baume and Sara Kelleher and this will also include a short discussion with unthink designers, Colin Farmer and Noelle Cooper, about their creative approaches to designing this publication.
We hope to see you all there.
