IF TALES ROM LOST LUGGAGE to lost souls, the stories in new art project
Travelogue are told using mind maps like this one, above, detailing
the random stuff left behind by Dublin commuters - everything from
dentures to a Francis Bacon oil painting.
Armenian artist Theresa Nanigian has been all ears on our behalf
in recent months, gathering stories and statistics from the people
who get us where we need to go. Travelogue taps into the small
undocumented dramas that happen to people who use and work in the
public transport around the greater Dublin area. From tomorrow until
May 13th, the material will be exhibited on posters in Dart carriages,
Luas stops, train stations, bus stops and anywhere you are likely to
find the huddled commuter masses. Expect stories of quiet confessions
divulged late at night in the back of cabs and small acts of heroism
played out on the platform. Travelogue is a Per Cent for Art project
commissioned by the National Transport Authority, Dublin City Council,
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin County Councils. For
