An Electronic Sheep Tapestry, commissioned by First Fortnight

This Tapestry Installation is available to view daily from 11am to 6pm, excluding Sunday 8th Jan.

Visual artists Helen Delany and Brenda Aherne (AKA Electronic Sheep) have created a new artwork ‘Notifications Off’ which aims to open up a conversation around mental health awareness.

The knitted Tapestry focuses on the positive and depicts places, people and objects that bring happiness, particularly in times of sadness. It also portrays activities that improve mental health and day to day life. It is a colourful, fun, joyous, surreal art piece.

The work weaves in a range of people including artists and cultural figures who have kindly contributed to its creation – Gavin Friday, Róisín Murphy, Aisling Bea, Ben, Tomoka and Bamboo Westwood, Vince Power, Dylan Philips and Laura Whitmore. A year in the making, the textile is a hybrid of pencil/digital drawings executed in the artists’ signature style.

Join us in the Cube for an official launch event on Friday 6th January at 4.30pm.

Commissioned by First Fortnight and the Arts Council of Ireland it will launch at Project Arts Centre as part of the First Fortnight Festival. The Tapestry installation will also be shown in Art Galleries in London and Paris in 2023

Booking is not required.
