ART IN THE PARK : ENERGY

FEBRUARY 8th 2022 Onwards

The ‘Art in the Park: Energy’ group exhibition sees the works of four Irish-based artists featured in Buncrana’s newly renovated Swan Park. These include a water-world globe sculpture by Kevin Harkin, an interactive ‘Fairy Village’ by Mark Cullen, a twisting ribbon-style metal sculpture echoing the history of textiles at Swan Mill by Rosalind Lowry and a windmill sculpture and dynamo by John McCarron, which will power a light show paying homage to Harry Percival Swan, who donated the park to the local community.

Artlink are delighted to be showcasing the first ‘Art in the Park’ exhibition in Swan Park. Indeed, in February, the park is just be emerging from deep winter and this wonderful outdoor group show will quietly awaken our senses incorporating, sound and movement. Importantly, as we are also be emerging from the coronavirus pandemic, we want to help nurture a new rhythm – a new way of working, a new routine, which is informed by the Celtic Agrarian Calendar to reconnect us with natural rhythms, the seasons, the tides, the place where we are.
