Megan Johnston is the new director of The Model in Sligo and her tenure begins with Mark Clare's I Believe in You which originated in the Crawford Art Gallery last year. Clare devises projects that offer oblique comment on such contemporary issues as "globalisation, individualism and public space". Unique to The Model is a new instalment of his interactive installation, Ping Pong Diplomacy II.
