Interpreting Landscape: Tim Robinson and the West of Ireland

  • Fordham Hall, Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, Co. Galway  H91VR90 (map)

Architecture at the Edge, in association with Kylemore Abbey, is pleased to present 'Interpreting Landscape: Tim Robinson and the West of Ireland' which celebrates the immense contribution that Tim Robinson made to understanding the landscape of the west of Ireland.

Drawing on the Robinson Archive at the Hardiman Library, University of Galway, and curated by Jane Conroy and Nessa Cronin, it was originally exhibited at the university in 2014/15.

This exhibition at the Fordham Hall, Kylemore Abbey, is a tribute to the life’s work of Tim and Mairead Robinson, whose shared passion for and knowledge of place has left a scholarly legacy of books and maps of the West of Ireland which will endure for generations.

Included in the exhibit is a piece by acclaimed Galway sculptor, John Coll, which pays tribute to the late writer and cartographer. John Coll is one of Ireland’s most prominent figurative sculptors and we are delighted to have him at the Architecture at the Edge Festival.
