Transplant is a temporary public artwork, including the shooting of a documentary film, which will take place at Sandymount Strand this Sunday the 8 January. Artists Tara Kennedy and Barbara Nealon will collect Christmas trees in the local area and “plant” them on the beach for one day (the duration of one tidal cycle). They will plant the trees early on the morning of Sunday and make a film as the tide surrounds the trees and recedes again.Afterwards the trees will be removed and recycled. As they hope to collect several hundred trees, they are looking for help installing and removing this temporary artwork. Anyone who may be able to offer help with transport or ‘planting’ would be hugely appreciated. Contact Tara tarafitzgeraldkennedy -at- gmail.com or Barbara Nealon nealon.barbara -at- gmail.com if you can help. This looks like it’s going to be a spectacular project and a fun day, they’re still looking for participants and trees so make sure to get in touch if you can help at all.
