Description

In 1975, world-renowned sculptor Richard Long created “A Circle in Ireland” one of his international walking sculptures, on Doolin Point at The Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare. Over the years the stone circle has fallen into disrepair. Áine Phillips collaborated with Burren College of Art students to restore the circle during a performative event that was filmed on location during February 2021. The project was commissioned by Galway 2020 and supported by Burren College of Art, Clare Arts Office and Creative Ireland. Masters of Fine Art, PhD and Post-baccalaureate students devised and performed the ‘restoration action’ in collaboration with Phillips who is head of sculpture at Burren College of Art.
