Intermission bar8/11/2023 Anne’s Shandon, The Lee Fields and even aliens! You could truly spend all day gazing upon the brilliantly elaborate depictions, best enjoyed alongside one of our delicious cocktails. You’ll find a multitude of depictions to ponder including references to The International Exhibition of 1902, St. The work is composed using a series of vignette type images that are set within the overall dream-like landscape. Also depicted in the panels are sugary delicacies, gin distillation and surreal versions of iconic buildings that are woven into the fabric of Cork’s visual identity. It contains diverse elements from the natural world and uses fantastic zoomorphic figures and references the human body. The panels draw from a wide range of influences including The Garden at Eichstatt: The Book of Plants by Basilius Besler, the fantastical topsy-turvy logic of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights as well as Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington’s surrealist visions. Designed by talented Cork artist Anthony Ruby, the mural has everything. The Pedersen Room, located at street level on Wacker. The central feature of Intermission must be the beautiful and captivating mural, titled The Pavilion of Earthly Delights which runs along the lounge wall. A walk-in Bar Bites menu, intermission dessert service, and post-show cocktails are also available. It has all been designed with comfort of our patrons explicitly in mind. The wood panelling which defines the character of a lounge represents some of the best carpentry in the country. It was an amazing process to work with such talented people. The stunning interior of Intermission is a testament to the fine talents of Cork’s skilled craftspeople, every item you see from the joinery to the brass and the furniture to the artwork was conceptualised and constructed within a five-mile radius of the bar. Their demise marked an unfortunate loss of one of Ireland’s great mediums of exchange, we are delighted to be resurrecting the concept in a manner which honours this great tradition. Intermission is a monument to the cosy lounge bars of the 1970s, a place you could have a quiet pint after work, have the craic with your friends, read a newspaper, discover the life stories of a stranger or commiserate over life’s misfortunes. Swing by for a pint and a chat and have a look at the gorgeous decor, all locally sourced and hand crafted! She questions if art can be seen as a tool to break through conformity, to understand patterns, both in the family and outside, to find ways to loosen the grip of authorities and to give enough attention to the individual within the group.Intermission has opened its doors from October 5th and we couldn’t be more excited to show you what it’s all about. She looks for stories and evidence about how the freedom to think differently used to be seen as subversive in Eastern Europe. With her work she wants to remind herself and her audience how valuable it is to question the established order. Intermission shows a normal but staged and controlled situation where the audience can invent possible moments before and after their beer break. Those observations she combined with the visual language of Edward Hopper’s paintings where he freezes people in environments. To develop the instructions for the actors Dóra went to bars to observe how couples communicate with each other while drinking a beer. The voyeuristic aspect of looking at people in social places is the starting point of making this film. Without words they decide together to leave the bar. They have minimal communication and mainly look outside the window or on their phones. Two actors walk in a bar, order a beer and leave after finishing it.
