Townley Hall has frequently been described as Francis Johnston’s domestic masterpiece. Johnston (1760-1829) stands as one of Ireland’s greatest architects, responsible for many of its finest landmark building.

"Irish Architectural and Decorative Studies" is the annual journal of the Irish Georgian Society. It is the much-enhanced and dramatically expanded successor to the Bulletin, which was published from 1958 to 1997. The journal reflects the Irish Georgian Society’s present wider remit, which is no longer concerned solely with Georgian architecture, but acknowledges the importance of the entire spectrum of Ireland’s post-medieval architecture and its special need for protection, interpretation, understanding and appreciation. The content of each volume of the journal is wide and varied, testimony to the diversity and scholarship of the series.

This annual publication is illustrated with monochrome and colour maps, plans, drawings and photographs of the buildings discussed. The articles cover a range of topics from 18th-century Ireland.

Life Story is an animated and visually provocative installation of 100 paintings by Michael Kane. The paintings cover a very broad range of subject matter. They are rendered in ink, acrylic and collage, on arbitrary newssheet and glossy magazine pages.
