City of Ideas
2007
The City of Ideas show was the second collaboration between Barons
Self Storage and the organization Human Resources. The organization
was set up in 2005 by Emma Houlihan and Ben Roosevelt, and sprang
from their desire to create a platform for artists in Galway.
The City of Ideas show, while pursuing Human Resources’ socioeconomic
interests, drew intensely on both its location, Riverside Commercial
Estate in Galway, and its site, a storage facility. This division
between location and site somehow recovered the two leading tendencies
in the show: one linking up with issues of economic and urban development
in the Galway area and beyond, the other engaging in a more intimate
relationship with the building and its use.
