Marking XX Sandra Carey/ Jim Coughlan: 20/06/24 Artist Ief Spincemaille pictured explaining to bemused resident of Rathmore Terrace, Martin Delea, that the 60m long rope which has appeared slinking along the wall in his quite Cul de Sac in Cork city is not a permanent feature. Travelling Rope is one of the more abstract delights included in this year’s Midsummer Festival programme. Keep your eyes peeled this giant blue creation will be popping up in surprise locations across Cork city until the 23rd June. Picture Chani Anderson
