Explore the work of local internationally known artist David Ireland through his house at 500 Capp Street and the eyes of contemporary artists engaging with his groundbreaking work. This weeklong spring break intensive workshop will introduce you to the Conceptual art movement of the 70s and encourage you to make your own work influenced by the work of David Ireland and how his work resonates today.
