A new series of artist works commissioned by Dublin Port has been announced. As part of their Port Perspectives initiative, they have commissioned artists to create a series of site-specific public artworks to celebrate Dublin Port and it’s relationship with the city. Sheelagh Broderick, Silvia Loeffler and AEMI & Cliona Harmey will be unveiled at sites and on structures within Dublin Port over the coming months.

Eamonn O’Reilly, chief executive of Dublin Port Company, said they were overwhelmed by the response and calibre of projects submitted following the open call last September.

“Dublin Port is delighted to commission original new works from three exceptionally talented artists, whose projects bring the history, social fabric and industrial setting of Dublin Port to life in new ways – not just for those who work at Dublin Port, but for all who visit and especially for those who have yet to venture this far,” he said.
