To celebrate the installation of the sculpture ‘Dance’ outside the Iontas building, Illuminations presents an exhibition by Rachel Joynt and Remco de Fouw, revealing the concepts, design ideas and working practices which led to the creation of ‘Dance’.
The sculpture ‘Dance’, commissioned for Maynooth University North Campus, has been installed to mark the completion of the Iontas Building. The €15m state-of-the-art building, took 15 months to build, with 150 workers employed on its construction.
The piece aims to embody the creativity, intellectual endeavor and commonality behind the activity of the university through the metaphor of the beehive.
The exhibition includes a video which traverses a 3-D digital model of ‘Dance’, and images of the design, development and fabrication of the final sculpture.
Also included are film interviews with Rachel Joynt and Remco de Fouw and a selection of individual works by Joynt and de Fouw.
