GI Hub

In a major new multi-screen video installation, Irish artist Gerard Byrne revisited the history of Minimal art and its reception, the discussions and commentary that circulated around it. Presented in an exciting new space in the heart of the Merchant City. Further work by Byrne was shown at The Common Guild.

Commissioned by GI Festival, Lismore Castle Arts and The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago in collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven
