It seems like our city is permanently under construction – undergoing a constant mutation. The physical environment shifts, old spaces disappear or are altered beyond recognition. New spaces are produced, physically and through our interactions and relationships with them.

AFTERTHOUGHTS is a one day seminar organised by Dennis McNulty to concide with his show framework/ rupture at Green on Red Gallery, Dublin. A day of talks and discussion on topics related to the aftermath of construction - considering the urban environment, how we intervene in it and attempt to understand it.

Five speakers will give presentations from practical and theoretical perspectives, ranging across a number of disciplines. François Chastanet will present his research drawn from his book "Pixação – São Paulo Signature", which deals with a form of graffiti specific to the Brazilian city of São Paulo. Owen Drumm will deal with the practicalities involved in acoustically treating existing spaces to reduce excessive reverberation. Ros Kavanagh will present a series of specially taken photographs illustrating ideas relating photography and time. Riklef Rambow will introduce the idea of Post Occupancy Evaluation, which involves returning to structures after occupation to study how they are actually used, and Ellen Rowley will give a slide talk based on her research into the culture and discourses of Dublin's post-war architecture, dealing specifically with the seventies.

There will also be a screening of a digitised copy of 'The Big Bank', a 16mm film commissioned by Sisks documenting the construction of The Central Bank building on Dublin's Dame Street.
