UNUSUAL SIGN IN TEMPLE BAR

18/02/2024

This caught my attention a few days ago because I overheard a child asking what does "our onion only in truth" mean. I was aware of the sign but,  to be honest, I thought that it was a statement by some of religious cult or organisation and never got around to discovering the story behind the large metal arch. Also I had difficulty photographing in the past.

Temple Bar Gallery & Studios marked an anniversary by organising a large-scale public artwork commission funded  by public donations. If the campaign raised €14,000 then Garrett Phelan would install an arch made from  steel on the roof of Temple Bar Gallery.

Irish artist Garrett Phelan’s art practice directly engages the audience with immersive site-specific drawing projects, FM radio broadcasts, sculptural installations, photography and animation.
