Fri 07 Jul 2009Mannix Flynn withdraws Laois show in protest
ARTIST AND Independent councillor Mannix Flynn has criticised the Dunamaise Arts Centre in Portlaoise for how it handled a proposed exhibition of his work.
Mr Flynn’s State Meant was one of the works due to be exhibited from today at the centre in Co Laois. However, he withdrew the show after the director of the centre, Louise Donlon, refused to allow the piece to be placed in the foyer of the building and insisted it be displayed on the first floor instead.
