Our Real World Engagement Guest Lecturer lunch-time series kicked off today with a great talk from Sheena Barrett ,   Curator at The Lab and Assistant Arts Officer, Dublin City Arts Office. Sheena spoke about the work of The Lab and reflected on the different ways in which audiences engage with objects in museums versus galleries.  The Lab commissions a writer to develop a critical response for each show: another potential opportunity for CVC graduates! The talk was followed by a lively question and answer session.  The Guest Lecturer series runs every Tuesday 1.30-2.30 in  NA003, North House Annex, Grangegorman campus .
