Tattered Outlaws Of History

In 2007 Fingal County Council commissioned Choreographer Fearghus O’Chonuir and photographer/film maker Dan Dubowitz under the Per Cent for Art Scheme. The two artists collaborated to create a 12 screen, site specific art installation in the Council owned, Skerries Martello Tower. The artists worked over a long period of time researching the 12 Martello Towers on Fingal’s coast bringing them together as an artwork, the aim was to highlight the presence and the uses of these “tattered outlaws of history” and bring them together to provide an impressive snapshot of Fingal.
