"The Liberator"
This is a great video from Albert Hooi showing the hard work involved in setting up the recent They Are Us exhibition from Damien Dempsey and Maser at Smithfield. It shows the completion of the excellent James Connolly piece, my favourite artistic take on Connolly since Harry Kernoff’s great 1935 effort.
Excellent stuff. Well done to all involved.
A few images and a brief report from the launch night of the exhibition can be found over here.
Getting there at 5.15 or so, we were well ahead of time and ended up carrying sambos up the stairs with a woman who told us “you’s will get your reward in the next life lads”.

Come Here To Me! 
Magnificent.
What would all that cost? Materials and installation?
The whole project was done for the Simon Community. Not sure of the costs of putting the exhibition on, but most of what you’re looking at was auctioned off for charity after the event.
Love the two shopfronts, excellent.
