TEMPORARY FORAY

Kildare County Council Arts Service is delighted to announce details of ‘Temporary Foray’, a series of talks, screenings and workshops, taking place in Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge, Co Kildare.

Commencing on February 10th, the monthly series, is intended to challenge, stimulate and inform current cultural practice, using national and international models from individuals and organisations involved in cutting edge work in Cameroon, England, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico and The Netherlands.

Temporary Foray is an invitation to interested parties - any person involved or interested in the production, participation and consumption of culture - to engage in this process.

According to invited curator, Sally Timmons, ‘Temporary Foray is an expedition arranged to supply a passing cultural need. The forayer or forager leads the way ahead making inroads by rummaging through an existing field.’

The impetus for this initiative was the recognition by Kildare County Council of the rapid growth and development of the County and the role of ‘spaces for cultural activity’ in that context. With this in mind, Temporary Foray creates an opportunity to provide ‘food for the soul’ for participants, through engaging activity-based talks and presentations.

A catalogue documenting the initiative will be produced. This permanent legacy of Temporary Foray will contain submissions of critical reviews, commentary or artworks. Details of the submission procedure will be available on the Kildare County Council Arts Services web page from early February.

Temporary Foray will take place from 11am to 4pm on Fridays Feb 10th, March 10th, April 7th, May 12th and June 16th 2006. Participation on Temporary Foray is free of charge. However, early booking for the programme is essential.
