KEVIN ATHERTON 'Another Sphere'
Kevin Atherton's pair of stainless steel hemispheres have been sited in two different parts of the new Balcurris Park. The respective hemispheres, and the subjects reflected on their surfaces, will be continuously filmed by two CCTV cameras, which will transmit the two images to a central broadcasting point. There, the images will be juxtaposed and simultaneously broadcast on a plasma screen integrated into the architecture of an exterior wall of the new pavilion.

PAUL MCKINLEY
Paul McKinley's commission takes the form of three large scale, narrative driven paintings derived from three different Ballymun families' photographs. Each painting presents a multifaceted scene loaded with specific references from each families' recent history, recognisable yet imaginary, utopian, yet rooted in the real. Paul's stunning new work has now been permanently sited in the Civic Centre Atriuim, while a fourth piece, a large scale lightbox work, has been specially commissioned for Poppintree Community Centre.
