Raymund Ryan, Architecture Curator at Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh writes about Pulp Press (Kistefos) 2013 in Architecture Ireland, ‘New art venues such as Kistefos are evolving from the known sculpture park paradigm, where discreet objects are set in fields of grass, to a more hybrid condition that is conscious of both context and of new media and that is keen to instigate engaged critical exploration. Pulp Press certainly nudges Kistefos in that direction. With echoes of chapels, grottoes and gazebos from long ago, it represents a new vector for Irish visual culture. Modest in dimension yet full of potential, it scrambles our preconceptions of time itself.’
