About this event
Yuri Pattison’s site-specific installation, 'dream sequence', is located in the disused 1950s Pump House No. 2, made accessible to the public for the first time. The former graving docks, where ships were repaired and maintained, is the site of Liliane Puthod’s 'Beep Beep' artwork.
The exhibition’s title, 'Longest Way Round, Shortest Way Home', is drawn from James Joyce’s 'Ulysses'. Joyce’s use of this popular idiom hints at a circuitous route back to one’s origins. The phrase itself is often used to describe the relationship between time and labour and, in the case of this exhibition, there are further associations with journeys, departures, homecomings, and new beginnings.
