Ormston does it again

I personally believe that Ormston House in Limerick puts on some of the best shows in Ireland, if not further afield (says she who hasn't seen a show outside these shores in a good few years).

Their latest show commemorated, to the day, the first appearance of an elephant in Limerick, which took place at Ormston House 200 years ago, on May 4, 1813 to be exact.  The show is called The Founding Phant and called upon artists to submit proposals for a spectacle as great as that of 200 years ago must have been.  The show was curated by Paul Quast and Joan Stack, who put a tremendous amount of work into it, but as you'll see from the photos below it was well worth it.

I like this show because it was diverse, thought-provoking and made me smile at the same time.
