Anticipations of an exhibition of sculptors' maquette might not run high, so what a delight that this three-person collaboration between John Ford, Don Prince and Michael Warren offers more than miniatures provoking amusement, admiration and calm response.
John Ford's maquettes are made, just like his installations in Derry and Poland, from the detritus of splintered broccoli boxes, burnt brick and linen cord. Seeming at first like some anorak aircraft modeller's take on totem poles and churches, they - flimsy, whimsical phantoms - appropriate the architecture around his Crumlin Road studio.
Don Prince offers up cautionary Towers of Babel which will never be built. At once mediaeval siege towers, articulated animal joints, steel skeletons of abandoned multi-storey blocks and outsized Daleks, they put forward the words Blah, Blah and Blah in memoriam for the past they will never have.
Michael Warren's timeless supplication comprises a vast installation, complete with location map, which envisages the calm creature, Tulach a tSolais, he will have installed in Oulart, Co Wexford, by September of this year - an echo of Newgrange - commemorating that feeling which was 1798.
Continues until July 11th.
