On 7 August 2018, a group of national and international artists who were participating in ‘Art in the Open’, the international plein-air festival in Wexford, travelled to the Gallery via the scenic coastal train from Wexford to Dublin. This journey was a re-imagining of the iconic journey taken by French artists at the turn of the nineteenth century, travelling between Paris and Pont-Aven, and was organised as part of the programme of events for the exhibition 'Roderic O’Conor and the Moderns. Between Paris and Pont-Aven' (18 July-29 October 2018). The 'Art in the Open' field trip culminated in a mass paint-out in Merrion Square park.
Music: These Old Walls. Composed and performed by Colm Mac Con Iomaire.
