Brian Ferran is a painter who concerns himself with the mythical and the magical. His interest in Irish history, archaeology and mythology is communicated using recurrent themes including the journeys of Colmcille, the carvings of the Erne basin and episodes of the Tain Bo Cuailgne.

This is where group assignments are submitted and act like an online notice board for the Blind Elephant work. In 2010 the collective submitted work based on a list of words decided upon at the beginning of that year, however in 2011 it was decided to make the themes more elaborated. The illustration projects that were posted last year and feature in this exhibition are based on quotes by painters, poets, and actors.

Over the past 3 months Hanna carried out a series of intentional mistakes, each carefully planned and budgeted in advance. Through a series of objects, photographs and texts, the exhibition documents these mistakes from the mistaken action to the repair. But, is ‘sorry’ ever enough? Are mistakes the ultimate learning tool? Is a problem ever fixed? Is a fix permanent? Is a fix perfect?
