Archiving Limerick

Statement
Neva Elliott was on residency for six weeks from the 17th October to the 25th November 2006 in Limerick city to devote her time exclusively to participating in and researching the activities of local groups and to form a personal snap shot of Limerick society.

Neva was based in a mobile, temporary studio space that she has specifically designed to allow her to work in different environments. The studio was based for one week in the Limerick City Library and five weeks in the permanent collection room of theLimerick City Gallery of Art.

From this base Elliott participated in over twenty different community and social groups from sports to arts, specialist interest, hobby and social activities.

The by-product of this process was documentation and ephemera, which was housed in the temporary studio structure and an online web log of her experience.

Her timetable over the weeks was generated by those who she met and through casual or intentional communications and networks.

Archiving Limerick is a commentary on the diversity of human interests and interaction.
