ROADWORKS

The Office of Non-Compliance Hits The Road

In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in street art. A highly democratic art form that escapes easy definition, examples of this evolving medium have long covered the streets of Dublin—with dissent, political concern and committed reflexivity gaining prominence in the period following the demise of the “Celtic Tiger” economy.

In this generously agitated spirit of protest, Dublin Contemporary 2011 has collaborated with ANEWSPACE (Dublin) to commission a host of Irish and international artists to cover 22 urban sites in what amounts to a restlessly creative walking tour of the city. From the Iveagh Gardens to Camden Street, Aungier
Street to St. Stephens Green Centre, Temple Bar to O’Connell Street, Dublin is literally awash with the radically accessible, communicative potential of the street.
