Brochure

Michael Klien’s installation of a street-lamp, previously situated in Limerick has been selected to join IMMA’s (Irish Museum of Modern Art) permanent collection in Spring 2007. Originally conceived as an installation complimentary to Klien’s choreography Sediments of an Ordinary Mind, the lamp presents a working mind spread across the fields of the social, the ordinary and the in-between. The lamp is technologically equipped with the capabilities to gain knowledge, to build meaning and to express itself in a limited manner. It gathers information in a public space and uses its light to communicate its findings. To fully perceive and engage with Slattery’s Lamp is an exercise in trust.
