Apparently responding to criticisms of its handling - or lack of handling - of visual arts, the Project Arts Centre has reputedly enlisted the help of advisers for its visual arts programme, writes Aidan Dunne. They are Mick Wilson, artist and lecturer, and Declan McGonagle, who happens, of course, to be director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art up the road at Kilmainham (where, contrary to the rumour machine, no agreement has yet been brokered in the dispute between himself and board chairperson Marie Donnelly). It's just a thought, but shouldn't the Project, like, for example, the Douglas Hyde, be in the business of offering an alternative to the largest modern arts institution in the land?
