Fog by Marta Fernández Calvo

Fog is a participatory artistic intervention work intended to be developed in the landscape. The large fog banks that move across the landscape are the actual starting point of this project. The artist, Marta Fernández Calvo, has created a “portable fog kit” from different photographs of fog taken in Dolomitas (Italy). The “kit” will be presented to Dublin inhabitants at a meeting and presentation on the 18th of June at Thisisnotashop, in which people will be invited to book Fog for its installation during one day in whatever public space they require (btw June 19-25).

All request forms to install Fog in the city will be used by the artist to construct a calendar containing the dates and locations of Fog in Dublin. This process will be shown daily in the gallery, which will become a documentation base of accumulative work generated by Fog.

Fog functions according to the temporal availability of the audience, and, as real fog, moves in the landscape, appearing and disappearing eventually. This work, therefore, will be shown exclusively if required directly by Dublin inhabitants.
