Irish Architecture Foundation Summer School 2022 (Galway)

Explore themes of data entanglement with ANNEX and friends at the IAF Summer School in Galway and online this July.

This year’s Summer School is informed by themes explored in Entanglement, the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021. Curated by ANNEX Collective, Entanglement is now on show at the Fairgreen Gallery in Galway as part of the Galway International Arts Festival. Its themes include the physicality of data infrastructure, exchange and communication, and the environmental, cultural and human impact of data.

There are two events in our Galway-based programme on 12 July:

1. Entanglement Exhibition Tour | Tuesday 12 July, 11:00-12:00
Fairgreen Gallery, Fairgreen Road, Galway
Led by Donal Lally of the ANNEX Collective curatorial team.

2. Workshop and Walking Tour | Tuesday 12 July, 14:00-18:00

Meet at the Entanglement exhibition, Fairgreen Gallery, for a complimentary bus to the Marconi Wireless Station, Connemara, where the workshop will be held. This workshop includes a walking tour of 5km (approx. 45 minutes).
