St. John’s Church
Formerly known as Church
- St. John’s Church is a deconsecrated church building. It was built in 1851 on the site of a medieval church, to the designs of architect Joseph Welland.
- Due to the drop in Limerick’s Anglican population, St. John’s Church fell into disuse in the 1970s. The building is now the home of Dance Limerick.
- This site was one of four venues for the 36th edition of EVA in 2014, curated by Bassam El Baroni (b. 1974, Egypt) and titled AGITATIONISM.
- That year, Nástio Mosquito (b. 1981, Angola) performed Bee: the Opposite of Cockroach (2014), a live performance commissioned by EVA, in which the artist performed a ‘recipe’ with the golden rules for making motivation.
