Talk with Dr Linda King for Irish Design Week

‘Where To Start and What To Include? Mapping the history/ies of Irish graphic design’

Dr Linda King will present this illustrated talk to coincide with the ongoing exhibition ‘Poster Boys: The Work of Kevin Scally and Brendan Foreman for the Abbey Theatre’.

Curated by Dr Linda King and showcasing the Museum’s collection of Abbey Theatre posters from the 1970s-1980s, this exhibition focusses on the two main posters designers for the Abbey during this period, Kevin Scally and Brendan Foreman, and their methods of visually interpreting a stage production. Their work represents both the modernisation of the national theatre and the burgeoning culture of graphic design in Ireland.

The talk will take place at 6pm. The exhibition will be open after the event until 8pm.

Free, booking essential.

Accessibility: the talk will take place downstairs, which is fully accessible. The exhibition is on an upper level that regrettably can only be accessed by stairs.
