Join this unique boat tour down the Liffey with historian and writer Barry Kehoe who will be sharing his written contribution to Liliane Puthod’s solo exhibition 'Beep Beep'.

Barry will draw from several key critical theories including Mark Fischer's concerns about time in TV supernatural sci-fi/fantasy series Sapphire and Steel, Guy Debord's concept of psychogeography, and Marc Augé's idea of ‘non-spaces’. By exploring thematics present in Liliane Puthod’s Beep Beep, Barry will investigate how petro-consumerism, post-industrial decay, nostalgia, time travel, dystopias, ‘awkward objects' and the 'ghost in the machine' conflate to alter our perception of time and movement: a disruption to the chronospheric* flow of life itself.

Meet at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. The tour will end at North Wall Quay. You are then welcome to walk with us to The Pumphouse for a short introduction to the exhibitions, 'Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home'.
