A concrete table tennis table is part of the visual arts group show ‘Communism’ running at the Project Arts Centre from 20th January to 27th February.

The table is the sole outdoor piece of the exhibition and was commissioned by Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane in collaboration with the Project. The artists Declan Clarke and Paul McDevitt say that this temporary public sculpture is a monument to leisure and was inspired by their time spent living in Berlin.

Bats and balls are available from the nearby Dublin Tourism Office on O’Connell Street. Table Tennis matches and various events will run every Saturday 12 to 2 pm until 26th February. More information from www.project.ie.
