EXTRACT
"For nearly a quarter century, Limerick and the Exhibition of Visual+ Art have shared a lot in common. The combined catalogue for Invited e v+ a of 1994, 1996 and 1998 has energy and confidence written all over the pages. Luc Deleu’s installation of containers in Arthur’s Quay Park, next to the tourist office, sums up the forces and the interaction at play. The ‘public space’ of Limerick city is at the same time a forum for and a result of the growing dialogue between local and international art worlds and audiences, between citizens and global society. e v+ a contributes especially in this respect. It is a persistent battle for a recognised space, with contemporary visual art practice as an integral and dynamic part of the urban and cultural identity of Limerick."

The importance of this event is that it has brought new ideas from around the globe to Ireland, and introduced Irish artists to a wider international audience ... What the Compendium offers is a chance for art students, cultural commentators and those interested to assess the movements and ideas presented in the past, and the essays themselves are provocative. — Jane Humphries, Books Ireland Seeing an outsider’s view of something with which you are familiar – that’s part of the appeal of e v+ a. — Marianne Hartigan, Sunday Tribune |
