Exhibiting artist Fergus Feehily leads a walk through the city with readings from his book, 'The Horse and the Rider'.
About this Event

Meeting under the Eason’s clock on O’Connell Street, a small group of people join the artist Fergus Feehily to walk across the city visiting several undisclosed locations. Here, the artist leads readings from his new artist book The Horse and The Rider – written as an integral part of his exhibition at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. Feehily is a kind of flâneur, both metaphorically in his artistic practice and in actuality, this has led the artist’s desire to bring viewers on this walk.

Pond, Chalk, Universe is a day of events hosted by exhibiting artist Fergus Feehily on the occasion of his solo exhibition, Fortune House at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, 13 December 2024 — 23 February 2025.

The exhibition, Fortune House is situated in deep winter, taking place on both sides of the solstice, continuing into brighter days. This changing context draws on ideas of illumination, bridging time and memory through the exhibition. The title, Fortune House, conjures a vision of a site where luck, prosperity, or a glimpse into the future might be found.
