Station’

A presentation of installation and performance



4 February 2010

Thursday 4 February 6-9pm

Platform, 1 Queen’s Street, Belfast



Platform presents Station, a unique event featuring installation by Belfast-based artists. The event will take place in a fascinating unusual space: the former Police Station in Queen Street.



This is the first in a series of residency based presentations. Platform worked in collaboration with the University of Ulster and offered five artists studying for their Master of Fine Art degree short-term residencies in the Police Station.



Alice Clark, Laura O’Connor, Lynn Cromie, Nadine Stewart and Niamh O'Beirne produced a body of work inspired by the atmosphere and the history of this old building. They will present their installations to the general public on one day only – this Thursday between 6-9pm.



Fiona Goggin, Platform Co-director explained:



Station is an experimental curatorial project organised by Platform. The premise of the project is to invite artists to come and make work in or in response to the building. The project will run until 2012 and we are planning to invite local and international artists to produce a variety of art pieces exploring this amazing space.
