National Sculpture Factoey

The National Sculpture Factory, (NSF), is a visual arts organisation based in Cork City, providing workshop spaces for artists. It is hosting an 'Open Day' on Wednesday, 28th March from 11.00am - 4.00 pm. And the public is warmly invited, even Kerry people apparently!

Thanks to the launch of the Factory's refurbishment, the NSF has a new, brighter and warmer, working-friendly interior thanks to a brand new insulated roof with 28 clear roof panels and whitewashed internal walls.

In addition to this, all workshop spaces have wireless access and the Factory has acquired 60,000 euro worth of new artists' equipment. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet artists working there, including artists-in-residence Holly Asaa and Belinda Guidi. Visitors can also watch artists' video screenings, take part in workshops and see Japanese artist Kenji Endo's installation Replicant.

Replicant is Japanese artist, Kenji Endo's, site-specific sculpture. Kenji will install his sculpture along the side of the NSF building. It's made from aluminium duct piping and LED lights and will sprawl, virus-like along the western face of the factory building, emitting a low lit, blue glow!

Groups are particularly welcome it is, however, advisable to let the NSF know in advance.
