The Fire Station Artists' Studios invite you to the opening reception of
an exhibition of studio artists at The Vaults, IFSC, Dublin on
Wednesday, 22nd September 2004 from 6.00pm to 8.00pm. The exhibition
continues until Sunday 3rd October 2004.

"Marking the Underpass" presents an opportunity to see new and current
work by artists from the nearby Fire Station Artists' Studios presenting
works that reflect the transitory nature of this location adjacent to a
train station as well as the temporary nature of the artists in local

living in the area. Many of the artworks have been specifically made to
respond to the many aspects of this unique location as local pub,
entertainment complex, train station, as well as residential and
business area. Works include video, sculpture, installation, drawing,
photography and social interaction.
