REACTION TO PLACE connects world renowned Irish contemporary dance company, CoisCéim, with architect Jenny O’Leary (H O W F F), in a design project that harnesses the rich heritage and embodied energy of 42 Fairview Strand to develop and present a blueprint for its evolution into a self-sustaining space where dance can thrive. CoisCéim has a history of creating site-responsive work, where environments inform the performance.
In this provocative exposition, their new home on Fairview Strand is the protagonist, telling a story of lifetimes lived, and presenting a dreamed vision of the future. Using an artistic process and exhibition to define the brief, A REACTION TO PLACE presents an unconventional approach to the conceptual design of buildings. A member of the RIAI, Jenny O’Leary’s practice is rooted in “an architecture that accentuates a connection to place where human society is integral to and a component of nature”.
