Primitive soundings, echoes and calls, and emergings of one sort or another mark and measure this art-as-journey show of Deirdre O’Connell. The artistic journey oscillates between the past (ostensibly Rome/Ireland) and the future (or is it the present?)—a boat is beached or abandoned; an armored vehicle probes, on the brink, here and there. The drawings and sculptures here have been produced during and since the artist’s sojourn in Italy, as a Rome scholar in the city of church and pagan power.

Public architecture, in one way or another, is about power; buildings are never neutral objects.
