About

Architects Jack O’Hagan and Bodil Eiterstraum have created a map which takes the form of a market stall that showcases the significance of the Galway Market within the city's food scene. They have remapped the interactions that reveals the intricate web of relationships within the market, highlighting the importance of the market on Galway’s vibrant food scene, and how it extends its influence throughout the city.

Much like the other market vendors, arriving at St. Nicholas' Church on market day, Jack and Bodil will set-up stall from 08:00am, until 18:00pm. Through its presence, the aim is to stimulate a conversation with the public about the market's role in the food culture of Galway and the importance in fostering and protecting this centuries old tradition. Like other vendors, our stall too is transportable. When the market closes we will wheel it to the Festival Gallery Printworks where the map will continue to be exhibited for the duration of the festival.
