Arresting developments at the stationFrom the postcard-picturesque to the imposing authoritarian, Garda stations across Ireland are a wide and varied range of buildings that flit in and out of the public consciousness, writes GEMMA TIPTON
Where skeletons rattle the saints and scholarsVISUAL ARTS : NEVAN LAHART introduces his exhibition, A Lively Start to a Dead End , at the RHA with a cautionary note. Most press releases for art events, he suggests, make “references to the references that can be found in the work”. Rather than, that is to say, to the work. So you go to the exhibition and find yourself dealing not with the promised bundle of references but with the fact of the work itself, “and the rest is up to you”. So Lahart doesn’t give us any references, nor any name-checks of fashionable theorists, just an indication of what we needn’t expect to find: “Understanding, meaning or a new lifestyle choice.”
