The Good Hatchery present a new installation, Good Hatchery, at NCAD Gallery.

Opening view 6-8pm Monday 12th March. Exhibition continues until 21st March 2012.

The Good Hatchery directors Carl Giffney and Ruth E. Lyons will host a seminar at 5pm on Thursday 29th March, Harry Clarke Lecture Theatre, NCAD.

The Good Hatchery is an artist led initiative based in the remote bog lands of North Offaly. As part of New Ecologies of Practice, directors Ruth E Lyons and Carl Giffney will present a new work in the NCAD gallery that embodies something of the workings and ethos that drive The Good Hatchery. The Good Hatchery is an artist led space. Through a series of collaborations, curated projects and free residencies it challenges methodologies of contemporary art making and often investigates relationships between site and resource. In its development, large portions of The Good Hatchery have been constructed from recycled artworks and salvaged materials from the exhibitions that its members have been involved in throughout the years. Its development is ongoing.

Carl Giffney and Ruth E Lyons, both graduated from NCAD Fine Art Sculpture in 2007.
