Tallaght, Dublin 24

Irish Encounters is an exhibition by American artist Jim Collins, best known for his large-scale public art sculptures Collins carefully constructs evocative box collages from found objects and recycled materials to suggest arresting, delightful, unexpected narratives. A passionate collector, Collins draws from an ever-evolving stockpile of vintage resources to create his works. Some pay tribute to mythology, others comment on societal ills and many become pure flights of fancy. All deliver a cornucopia of visual delights that suggest the open-ended imagination of theatre as well as the rich tradition of storytelling in the American South.

Rua is located right beside the last stop on the Red Luas line
Opening Hours Mon - Sat 10am - 6pm
