Conference Events
PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIC WALK, 6TH APRIL
The poet and Situationist Ivan Chtcheglov spoke of the city as a closed landscape negotiated by landmarks, which draw us constantly towards the past. Through fragments we glimpse original conceptions of space when perspectives are shifted around “castles, endless walls, little forgotten bars, mammoth caverns, Casino mirrors.”
An hour-long walk around the city space of Kings Johns Castle led by the artist and researcher Paul Tarpey confronts this medieval site as a shifting landscape. It explores how official monuments vie with unofficial markers to render the contemporary territory of the castle insecure.
This journey concludes with a presentation on the construction of a unique monument commemorating the death of a Limerick citizen.
Maximum number of participants is 15.
