Venue #5 - Hendron’s Collider

40 Dominick Street Upper, Broadstone, Dublin 7, Dublin, Ireland


Hendron’s Collider is a relatively new multidisciplinary space, combining artist studios with spaces for exhibitions and events. Their 12 artist studios contain a variety of disciplines, including visual artists, writers, illustrators, artist collectives, and performers. The aim of the organisation is to “create a support structure for the development of creativity for artists in Ireland’s changing cultural landscape, and to provide a productive environment for engagement with peers.” So far the space has played host to a variety of both local and international musicians, community groups and artists, such as the Anti-Racism Network’s monthly food and film get-togethers, and solo shows for Collider artists Aran Young and Alan Doyle. Upcoming events include a Hack-fest film screening, described as “an alternative animation festival for industry troglodytes,” taking place on August 27th.



The building is lending their top floor and rooftop patio to MEDS this summer between August 10 through 24th, to be home base for the audio-visual workshop known as ’Ensemble.’ The energetic group is happy to call the Collider home for these two weeks, using it as a combination workshop, exhibition space, and daytime dance club. Their final interactive project will be exhibited there on Saturday, August 23rd, alongside BeeLife’s bait-hive exhibition.
