Streets - Past, Present and Future at Connolly Luas Stop
Streets - Past, Present and Future is a video, light and sound installation located at Connolly Luas Stop, the Red Line terminus, created by the community of Dublin’s North Inner City with the artists Ciara O'Malley and Sven Anderson.
The art installation will be officially switched on by local writer-director Peter Sheridanon 29th April 2009at 7pm, Connolly Luas Stop. Sheridan grew up locally and is best known for his interpretation of fellow Dubliner Brendan Behan’s works both on stage and in film. The Streets - Past, Present & Future installation will run for 12 months, and can be viewed for six hours after dusk each evening.
The installation reflects the ever-changing urban landscape of the North Inner City. Using a collective community voice, the piece expresses the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the community. The installation presents a story that mirrors the complex history and culture of the streets and the communities it represents while inviting Luas passengers, pedestrians and passing traffic to view, interact with and experience the story from different perspectives.
Participation by local people took place over 2003 and 2004 during the artist Ciara O’Malley’s ‘Studio Award’ residency in the local Fire Station Artists’ Studios.
Writer and critic Gemma Tipton has praised this new Luas feature. She called the piece “a poem to the North Inner City,” and noted that “the projections come to take on the role of the city speaking for itself, as if it is telling stories and making arguments that come from within its own collective memory.”
