The Boats

Mayfly and Eco Showboat

Paris based artists, Anne Cleary & Denis Connolly have shown in the Pompidou Centre, the Barbican and the Tate Modern. Their work involves collaborations with scientists, artists and the public, taking many forms but focusing always on the act of looking, a conversation with the eye of the beholder. Since 2017 they have been practicing under the name “The School of Looking” to reflect this overarching programme of their work.

Anne & Denis discuss their winter 'recce' of seven water bodies across Ireland for CATCHMENTS 2025
