The Permeable Institution by Joanne Laws is a review of Andrew's 'Mechanism' exhibition. The essay references the underground club culture of the 1990s Britain; the historic ‘Jail Island’ of Leitrim in the 1600s, and the legislative past of the The Dock itself, as a former court house as well as the internet-age phenomenon of encroaching data surveillance.
Katherine Waugh’s Mechanism'essay begins by drawing comparisons between the first presentation of 'Mechanism' at the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris, and the second showing of the work here in The Dock where the work was modified specifically for the spaces it was to inhabit.
