  • 23/07/2018 Repro free:  Safi Murray 8 and Emma Fitzgerald 6 from Annaghdown at the Commercial boat club for the People Build at Galway International Arts Festival saw not just one but two large-scale structures appear in a matter of hours built solely from cardboard. Under the guidance of French artist, Olivier Grossetete and his team, The People Build saw over 600 volunteers and members of the general public transform cardboard boxes into a church steeple and a bridge. This spectacular architectural event won the hearts of festival audiences and encouraged a sense of community where everyone could get involved. The structure built at Eyre Square was inspired by St. Nicholas’ Church in Galway and the bridge at Waterside was positioned at the location of Galway’s River Corrib Viaduct, once part of the famous Galway to Clifden Railway.<br />
<br />
It is estimated that almost 4 tonnes of cardboard were used across the two builds. Following the constructions, children and grown-ups alike joined forces in a massive celebratory demolition, which saw the cardboard structures come tumbling down amidst shrieks of joy and delight.<br />

  • 20/07/2018 repro free:  Ciaran O Cuineagain and his daughter And at The People Build at Galway International Arts Festival will see hundreds of volunteers, and the general public, create two large-scale and highly ambitious structures solely from cardboard. Under the guidance of artist Olivier Grossetete and his team, the public will transform thousands of cardboard boxes into a structure to replicate St. Nicholas’ Church in Galway. It is being constructed on Eyre Square in Galway today. On Sunday July 22 at 6pm the public will join forces in a massive celebratory demolition, which will see the cardboard building come tumbling down. <br />
<br />
A second structure will consist of a cardboard bridge being built at Waterside in Galway. It will be floated on the water, serving as a testimony to Galway’s River Corrib Viaduct, once part of the famous Galway to Clifden Railway. The build will take place on Saturday July 21 and will be demolished on Sunday July 22 at 3pm. <br />
