In 2009, Dublin City Council Arts office launched a new pilot initiative in the Red Stables Artists Studios (with the kind assistance of The Arts Council), to commission an emerging curator to plan and devise an outdoor exhibition of temporary artworks for Saint Anne’s Park, Raheny, Dublin 5.

For this year’s project invited curator, Sally Timmons has selected two artists to consider the notion of a folly (defined as an ornamental structure or building, whose creation reflects a whimsical inclination on the part of the builder). With this in mind, the artists Mark Clare and Fionnuala Hanahoe have developed artworks that will provide a physical and visual interference within the environs of the park, holding intrigue as visually stimulating yet seemingly futile functional structures.

Hopeful Structures takes place in Saint Anne’s Park from 6th of June until the 6^th July 2010.

Opening Hours for the exhibition space in The Red Stables Artists Studios are Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm until 5pm (or by appointment 086 3963845).

According to the exhibition space opening hours, Fionnuala Hanahoe will place the artwork titled Park Reflecting in various locations in and around the lawns near The Red Stables Artists Studios.

Mark Clare’s’ artwork titled Shangri La is positioned in the Millennium Arboretum (beside the main avenue to the park)
