'Time and Tide', Circa, no.85, Winter 1998.

This is a review of the Littoral Conference that took place in IADT Dun Laoghaire in 1998. This was perhaps the first conference in Ireland to showcase socially engaged art. In retrospect, the line up of attendees and speakers - from Grant Kester to the Critical Art Ensemble - reveal this to have been quite an important moment in this emerging form of practice in Ireland.
